Hi, I’m Tawny.
I’ve been working in mental health in Calgary since 2014, and began practicing as a psychologist three years ago. Over that time, I’ve supported children, adolescents, adults, and families across clinical settings, schools, public health organizations, and private practice.
Today I practice at Park Psychology – a Mental Health Collective.
My Background
Bachelor of Science in Psychology – 2014
Master of Counselling – University of Calgary (2021)
My approach
My approach is rooted in humanistic psychology, which focuses on understanding each person’s unique experiences and perspective.
I aim to create a counselling relationship that feels compassionate, genuine, and accepting. From that foundation, we can explore challenges, build insight, recognize strengths, and move forward in ways that feel meaningful to you.
I draw from several therapeutic approaches depending on each client’s needs, including:
Narrative Therapy
Attachment Theory
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Additional TrainingOver time, I’ve continued to deepen my work through additional training in areas that often come up in people’s lives. These approaches help me tailor our work together depending on what you’re going through and what feels most supportive for you.
