People often describe me as kind, sensitive, and respectful. Since I was 16, I knew I wanted to be a counsellor and walk alongside people on their healing journey. My values are connection, inclusion and empathy. I am big fan of Brene Brown, fellow social worker, who has done a lot of research on connection and vulnerability. Unfortunately, sometimes our culture inhibits true genuine connection with other people. I believe therapy should feel like your favorite article of clothing, the one that fits just right, and you buy it in multiple colours. I pride myself on being highly empathic and sensitive, something I used to be ashamed of, but in doing my own work I embrace this amazing part of myself. Sometimes we just need someone to be there, creating a safe space for us to share our story and allow us to bring our brave and vulnerable selves into therapy without being afraid of being judged.

My approach is somatic, collaborative, and trauma-informed, focusing on building a safe relationship where you can practice setting boundaries and communicating.

I’m Allegra (pronounced Ah-lee-gra) and I am the Founder and Clinic Director of Kindred Roots - a practice that is redefining traditional therapy.

I believe that a successful therapeutic relationship is built on trust, authentic connection and clients seeing me as a real person, not a clinical robot. My ideal client is not based on a problem but rather on personality.

I often work with those who want to heal from trauma, end relentless self-criticism and challenge their exhausting people-pleasing. My clients are aiming to have a deep connection with their true selves so they can live an intentional life of purpose and authentic happiness. I am formally trained in EMDR and CBT modalities, though my approach is flexible.

Come as you are: whether you are wearing your pajamas, haven’t showered in a week or look like you are about to walk a red carpet - I will accept you free of shame or judgement (and trust me, I’ll likely be in a hoodie too). For more information, check us out on Instagram on @kindredrootstherapy - or, our website www.kindredroots.ca

To me, therapy is all about emulating this pursuit of balance in session. Two things can be true at once- we can be powerfully self-accepting, and work towards personal goals that we set out for ourselves. Healing can be both challenging and joyful.

As a trained play therapist, and I believe versions of play can be used in most sessions. Play looks like many things to different people- it could be telling me about your favorite reality TV show, wanting to bring in yoga or movement into session, and taking time to laugh and feel joy, even amid profound healing.

My approach combines empathy, patience, and a deep understanding of the human experience, especially as we navigate transitions, health challenges, and loss.

People often describe me as a dependable, caring and outgoing. Being a new mom has taught me so many life lessons about being flexible, setting up boundaries, embracing mess and chaos and learning how to reach out for help. Change is constant and figuring out how to let go of some of my A type tendencies has reminded me to work on acceptance and embrace new challenges. As a therapist I bring a laid back, gentle, supportive, and collaborative approach.

Much of my social work career was spent working in the hospital system. I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people during their most challenging times in life. Witnessing people’s strength and resiliency during trying times is what drives me to do the work I do and to continue to show up for people.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist, serving residents of Alberta and the Yukon.

To me, therapy is a place where two (or more) humans come together and begin making sense of the messiness of life to find a clearer path forward. Therapy has taught me that an individual is only one piece of the puzzle and true growth comes from looking at the whole picture of someone’s life and their location within the world to see what might be contributing to their underlying struggles. If we are only focusing on one part of a person and one simple therapy technique, we are missing a big piece of the puzzle!

Specializing in adults, children (aged 6+) and adolescent anxiety, self esteem, child-parent relationships, and parenting.

I offer a laid back and authentic environment in our sessions where you can be your true self. I am here to be on your team and support you where you are at, judgement free, making sure you feel seen, heard and important- because you are! I value a flexible and collaborative approach, knowing that everyone will have unique needs. Therapy looks different for everyone, for some it is a safe space to explore themselves, others want to feel the feels, some want solutions, and sometimes we just need somebody to be witness to our experiences. I believe therapy can be thought provoking, healing and transformative and it might include some tears and laughter along the way.
