Hello and thank you for being here.

My name is Jillian and I am the owner and founder of Align Psychology. I am a registered psychologist (#4526) with the College of Alberta Psychologists and I am a member of the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta. I also hold registration authorizing interim autonomous practice with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. This means I am licensed to practice with those residing in both Alberta and Ontario.

Since I was a teenager, I’ve wanted to become a psychologist. I’ve always been drawn to depth in conversation, understanding human behaviour and exploring ways to improve self-awareness, well-being and connection with others. This interest guided me through my education where I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Lethbridge and a master’s degree in counselling psychology from Yorkville University.

Over the last 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with adolescents, adults and families in both non profit and public mental health spaces. I have supported individuals and families in school, residential, day treatment and outpatient settings. Most of my experience lies in working with adolescents and adults experiencing eating disorders. This included providing meal support therapy, group therapy, Family Based Treatment (FBT), and individual and family therapy in an eating disorders program. My approach draws from several therapeutic approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Family Based Treatment (FBT), and intuitive eating principles. I practice from an inclusive, non-judgmental, weight-neutral and anti-diet perspective while also incorporating self-compassion and mindfulness into my work.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones including my husband and three children. I enjoy being outdoors, soaking up sunshine, practicing Pilates, camping, reading, and listening to podcasts.

If you’re feeling confused, overwhelmed, burnt out or uncertain, you are in the right place. Whether you want to feel more ease in your life, align to what is truly important to you, understand yourself on a deeper level or work through challenging issues, I am here to help.

If you’re ready to take that first step toward self-exploration and healing, book a new client consultation or an initial session today. We’ll start at your pace, together.
