The GRO approach
Three pillars behind every session
GRO isn't just a name. It's an integrative framework that weaves together how your mind, body, and history fit together, so therapy treats the cause, not just the symptom.
Resilience
Trauma & Memory Processing
Using EMDR and the Adaptive Information Processing model, we reprocess what's stuck so the past loses its grip on the present.
Optimism
Mind-Body Connection
Through somatic and mindfulness-based work, we rebuild a sense of safety, self-compassion, and possibility from the body up.
What I help with
Specialized care for the things that feel hardest to name
Every page below is a real area of focus, not a checklist. Explore where you're struggling and how the work actually helps.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR helps your brain reprocess painful memories so they lose their emotional charge and stop hijacking your present.
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma isn't about what's wrong with you, it's about what happened to you, and how your nervous system learned to survive it.
Men's Therapy
Most men were never taught how to deal with what they feel, only how to push it down.
Anxiety
Anxiety isn't a character flaw, it's an overprotective alarm system doing its job too well.
Depression
Depression can flatten everything, energy, motivation, and the sense that things could be different.
First Responders
When your job means running toward what everyone else runs from, the weight adds up.
Meet your psychologist
Therapy that's warm, direct, and genuinely collaborative
I'm Garrett, a Registered Psychologist based in Edmonton, working with adults and teens across Alberta. I help people who feel stuck, on-edge, or weighed down by experiences that won't settle.
My approach is integrative, drawing on EMDR, somatic, and attachment-based work, and tailored to you. I've supported first responders, healthcare practitioners, the 2SLGBTQI+ community, and young adults navigating big transitions, always in a space that's safe and free of judgment.
