Hello, I’m glad you’re 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 a member of the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta. I also hold registration authorizing interim autonomous practice with the College of Psychologists of Ontario, which means I am licensed to work with individuals residing in both Alberta and Ontario.

For over 18 years, I’ve worked with adolescents, adults, and families across public and non-profit mental health settings, including schools, residential and day treatment programs, and outpatient care. This has included specialized in eating disorders, providing meal support, Family-Based Treatment (FBT), along with individual, group, and family therapy.

Today, much of my work is with people who are used to being the strong ones, the reliable ones, the perfectionists, the overthinkers, and the people-pleasers - those who hold everything together for everyone else. From the outside, life may look fine, but inside they feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or quietly wondering if life is supposed to feel this exhausting. Somewhere along the way, they begin to sense that there must be more to life, but they’re not quite sure how to get there.

My therapeutic approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Family-Based Treatment (FBT), and intuitive eating principles. I aim to create a warm and welcoming space that allows for deeper alignment and connection with yourself.

Many people who reach out for therapy tell me they’ve been thinking about it for a long time. It’s not always easy to take that first step. My hope is that when we connect, you feel comfortable showing up just as you are - whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsure where to begin, or simply curious about making a change. You don’t need to have it all figured out. We can start wherever you are.

If you’re considering therapy, you’re welcome to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. It’s simply a chance to connect, ask questions, and see whether working together feels comfortable. There’s absolutely no pressure - it’s okay if it’s not a perfect fit. Finding the right therapist matters, and sometimes even a brief conversation can help clarify your next step.
