I am currently a practicum student committed to supporting individuals on their journey to better mental health and personal growth. I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges and discover their strengths.  My goal is to provide an empathetic, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe, heard, and understood. In my approach to counselling, I am interested in using a person-centred perspective, with techniques including solution focused strategies. I believe that working collaboratively with individuals helps to develop the skills necessary for growth and empowerment.
Throughout my practicum, I am gaining hands-on experience and continuously developing my skills under supervision and guidance. This is enabling me to expand my knowledge in order to support individuals through areas such as life transitions and mental health struggles. I am dedicated to ongoing learning and personal growth as a future counsellor.
I look forward to being a part of your journey, offering support as you work toward healing!

I’m a student therapist passionate about helping individuals uncover their strengths and wisdom through a supportive, empowering approach. By focusing on what’s already within you, my goal is to help you feel confident and capable in overcoming challenges. I use a blend of person-centered and solution-focused approaches, ensuring that your needs and goals are at the forefront of our work together. I’m also deeply interested in Emotion-Focused Therapy, which helps people connect with and understand their emotions meaningfully.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a teacher, which fueled my passion for working with children and families. I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to build strong, supportive relationships to help children thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. This experience has influenced my therapy approach, especially in fostering emotional development, communication, and connection. While I have a special place in my heart for children and families, I enjoy connecting with individuals of all ages and life stages.

Growing up in a small town, I learned early on the value of community. Throughout my life, I’ve found that strong relationships are essential for navigating both the highs and lows. This belief extends to my work as a therapist, where I view the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of therapy. I strive to create authentic, genuine connections that foster a safe, trusting environment for clients to open up and grow.

These experiences shape my therapeutic style, and I aim to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey of growth and healing!

Meet Marion! I became a counselling therapist because of my own personal journey through counselling. I was definitely someone who thought that seeking counselling made me weak but it actually helped me change my life. I think everyone could benefit from counselling in one way or another and as we go through different experiences in life. My approach to counselling is client-centered which means I join your team for a time to help you brainstorm, learn new skills and discover your strengths in order to change your life. You are the person who has the power to change your life and I am here to help you achieve the life you want, whether that comes by working through past trauma, learning to understand and regulate emotions, dealing with daily stress, working through relationship issues or all of the above, I want to join you in your journey. My focus is to create an empathetic, compassionate, non-judgmental and safe environment for you to just be you.

I enjoy seeing clients of all ages, men, women, youth and children. I offer counselling for anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, self-esteem/identity/acceptance, and relationship issues. I am a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I was born and raised in Sylvan Lake and I am excited to be able to provide my hometown with counselling services.
