Hi, I'm Derrick! I'm an intern therapist born and raised in Calgary with Ghanaian roots. I know that reaching out for therapy isn't always easy, and I also know that cost can be one of the biggest barriers to getting support. That's why I'm passionate about providing accessible, low-cost therapy so that more people can receive the care they deserve.

My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I strive to provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where we can work toward meaningful change together.

I take a collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you are while helping you better understand your experiences, build practical coping skills, and move toward the goals that matter most to you.

I primarily draw from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing.

DBT helps you develop practical tools for managing overwhelming emotions, coping with stress, improving relationships, and responding to challenges more effectively.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative approach that helps you explore your own motivations, build confidence, and navigate change with greater clarity.

I provide trauma-informed and LGBTQIA+ affirming care and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, identities, cultures, and lived experiences.

I support clients with concerns including:

Anxiety

Stress and burnout

Depression

Life transitions

Self-esteem

Emotional regulation

Relationship concerns

Personal growth and motivation

I offer a free 30-minute consultation to answer your questions, learn more about your goals, and see if we're a good fit.

I'd be honoured to support you on your healing journey.
