My name is Rachel, and I’m the Client Care Coordinator at Momentum Counselling! As the CCC, I supervise our lovely administrative team, oversee our social media pages, and work closely with our clinical team to ensure the best experience possible for all Momentum clients! I am passionate about mental health, and I am grateful to do my part in making mental health support services accessible as possible.

My background includes graduating with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Alberta in 2022. I received a BA in Psychology, with a minor in Creative Writing.

In my free time, I love to travel and explore new places and cultures. I have checked many places off the bucket-list, but still have so many more places to go! Reading is one of my favourite hobbies, as well as discovering new walking trails, volunteering, watching documentaries, and spending quality time with loved ones.

My name is Reese Thurmeier and I am a psychology major at the University of Alberta. I am a volunteer in reception and intake. I aim to become a psychologist in Alberta so I can be closer to family and friends.

I love travelling, skiing, and watching Harry Potter, Pitch Perfect, and Stranger Things.

Some fun facts about me:

  • I can play the alto saxophone and the piano.
  • Thanks to my parents, I have been lucky to visit every continent, except Africa and Antarctica. My favourite places are Iceland, Australia, Italy, and Japan!
  • If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be Justin Bieber (I have been a majorNfan since I was 6).
  • I am double-jointed in my elbows, knees, and right thumb.

My name is Anastasia LoRi and I am so excited to be a part of the Momentum Team as a Part-time Reception and Intake Coordinator!

I am currently completing a PsyD in Clinical Psychology. I have also completed a MSc in Forensic Clinical Psychology and a BSc in Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour. In the near future, I aspire to become a clinical psychologist working with both youth and adults in various settings. I have years of experience working with forensic patients, substance use difficulties and neurodevelopmental disorders – in both research and clinical settings. Through my experiences, I was able to see the resilience that individuals possess and believe in a strength-based approach to help foster hope and increase coping skills. Thus, I am particularly passionate about helping others and advocating for my community’s mental health needs.

In my personal time, I love to dance and paint. I am an outdoorsy person, who loves to travel and explore new places! I also love to spend my time with my friends, family, and pets!
