Hello
I am a Registered Psychologist practicing in Alberta and Ontario and the founder of Ilera Psychological Services.
I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, or simply feeling stuck, I strive to provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
I believe that every person has unique strengths and experiences that shape their journey. My role is not to tell you who to be or what to do, but to walk alongside you, helping you gain insight, develop practical tools, and move toward the life you want to create.
-
Why does everything seem easier for everyone else than it does for me?
-
Why do I feel exhausted from trying to fit in or keep up with expectations?
-
Why is it so difficult to talk about mental health in my family or community?
-
Am I struggling, or am I simply carrying more than people realize.
If any of these questions resonate with you, you're not alone. Together, we can explore them with curiosity, compassion, and a deeper understanding of who you are and what you need.
My Story
Growing up in a family of five, Tina became familiar with feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, and the many questions that often accompany personal growth and life transitions. Like many people, she experienced moments of self-doubt and searched for answers about purpose, identity, and what it means to live a fulfilling life. Through these experiences, she learned an important lesson: while life's challenges can feel overwhelming, no one has to face them alone.
These personal experiences helped shape Tina's passion for psychology and her commitment to supporting others through difficult seasons of life. Over the years, she has developed a deep appreciation for the resilience people carry, even when they may not recognize it themselves.
With a strong foundation in psychology and extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, Tina brings a thoughtful, compassionate, and culturally responsive perspective to her work. Whether through therapy, mentorship, advocacy, or community engagement, she is committed to creating spaces where people feel safe, valued, and empowered to grow.
At the heart of her work is the belief that each individual is the expert in their own life. Her goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build on their strengths, and develop the confidence and tools needed to move forward with purpose.
