Emotional Intelligence Therapy & Support in Calgary

You may have a child who’s quick to shut down—or maybe quick to explode.

Maybe they struggle to make friends, avoid responsibility, or seem disconnected from school and home life. Or maybe it’s you—you’re trying to navigate big feelings, challenging relationships, or decisions that don’t seem to have a clear path.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to understand and manage emotions—your own and others’. And while some people develop this naturally, many of us need support in building those skills. The good news? EI can be learned at any age.

I integrate Emotional Intelligence into both individual sessions and group work. Whether you’re a youth looking to better understand yourself, a parent trying to support your child, or simply someone wanting to relate more effectively, EI offers real, lasting tools for personal and social growth.
