Find a Therapist in Bruderheim, Alberta.

When we work together in psychotherapy, you will have a safe and supportive space to share and explore what is on your mind and heart. I will help you learn tools to manage your emotions, feel more grounded, and improve your overall well-being. If you are open to it, we can also look at the deeper roots of what you are going through to create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to support you in feeling more balanced, understood, and empowered in your life.

Psychotherapy focuses on your relationship with yourself. Our most common problems have to do with inner conflict and with being unconscious of what is happening within ourselves. Through psychotherapy you will become aware of how the inner self signals the presence of these problems. Being aware of what is happening within us gives us the basis for making effective choices, relating in genuine ways to others and making positive and powerful choices in our daily lives.

Once we are able to recognize that challenges we are facing are beyond the normal threshold of storm and stress, it is important to talk with someone who can help. Together we will go on a journey where we will try to gain a deeper understanding of the stress and challenges you face. We will learn new strategies and tools that will help you to deal with that stress and challenges.

Psychotherapy leads to in-depth understanding about ourselves. This understanding is prerequisite to engaging intimately with others and having conscious control over our needs are reactions. The therapeutic relationship established is the context where psychological change is possible. Psychotherapy is appropriate for both long-tern and short-term healing.

Psychotherapy is an incredible opportunity to focus on you! In therapy I work collaboratively with each client to create and improve the treatment plan that is right for them. Each person is unique and deserves a personal and unique experience in therapy. I work with respect, integrity, honesty and openness to ensure that you are heard and valued, and to offer a special time and place to work on the things that are important in your life. This is the deep value of Psychotherapy! To enter into a helping relationship, free from judgment, with the opportunity to overcome life's challenges and to thrive!

I envision psychotherapy as a growth process. I know the medical model well; I just don't center my therapeutic approach on treating diseases. I treat people. Rather than diagnose-treat-cure, my model is connect-interact-become. It's a personal growth model. The willingnesss to permit a professional to facilitate your personal growth is not a disease; it's an accomplishment.

I approach therapy knowing that it is often very difficult to openly express yourself to someone you don't know, and it's a great investment of your time and finances. My approach is to help you as efficiently and effectively as possible. I want to know what YOU want for you life, and I'll help you move towards that! If you want practical steps, I can offer that. If you just want to process some thoughts and emotions, even deeper questions, I can certainly be there guiding you through that as well!

Patterns of self-sabotaging behavioural, disorganized thinking and overwhelming emotion make life very difficult. How can we move forward when our bodies seem to betray us and we just need a break from the buzzing anxiety or the numbing of depression? What you may not know is all these symptoms are the imprint of our unfinished business, stuck in the body and just begging to be seen, cared for and accepted. Working with me means looking with curiosity, compassion and an educated-eye at how old wounds of betrayal, abandonment and rejection show up to block living your best life. You are not alone and there is hope.

Psychotherapy can help when an individual feels life is awfully difficult. Moreover, psychotherapy can also make a straight life even better . Psychotherapy is suggested whenever a person is grappling with problems in life for example relationship issues, anxiety, anger or other mental health concerns, and these issues are creating the individual lots of hurt or upset for longer than a week. There may be exceptions to this common rule, but for the most of the cases, there is no harm in going into psychotherapy even if someone is not entirely confident that it would benefit from the counseling.

Do you find that certain life circumstances are out of your control? Does this bring up strong negative emotions? Sometimes, we react like a child or a teenager, other times, like a mature adult. What is it within us that brings up these varied responses? Why is it that we at times feel stuck and helpless to bring about any changes? Together, in the process of psychotherapy, we can explore these questions and more, within a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space.

Sometimes the angst we feel doesn’t have a definable problem, we just know that life feels off, and long for it to feel better. Through talking with a therapist insights into yourself, and compassion for your pain emerges. Through this process you learn to see your past and yourself differently and a new way of being in the world emerges. Old unhelpful ways of living erode and are replaced with healthier more hopeful perspectives.

My approach is to work collaboratively with clients using a holistic model of therapy which entails a blending of Eastern and Western modalities. For example, training in meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, proper exercise, a nutritious, science-based diet and maintaining proper sleep hygiene. Also, including talk therapy can then help to reveal core values and issues. Mindfulness training benefits clients in observing clearly thoughts and behaviours. Clients benefit greatly through the use of evidence based interventions by developing the skills needed to evaluate thought patterns and overcome destructive patterns.

I practice integrative psychotherapy, combining both knowledge from psychological theory of change along side our increasing understanding of neuroscience and neurological process of thought, behavior, and emotions. Through combining the science of psychotherapy with neuroscience (neuropsychotherapy) we can find meaning for your experience and distress that is supported by existing evidence.

Psychotherapy includes a more long-term exploration into one's inner functioning, in order to make lasting change. While doing psychotherapy, I assist my clients to look into their inner life, which often includes looking back at family of origin issues or past relationships to learn how one has become who they are today, and then identifying areas where they would like to see change. We then work to shift these patterns of being to create a more fulfilling, peaceful life, with healthier choices.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Doing Psychotherapy with me is a gentle and compassionate process of uncovering and tending to the old wounds and patterns that can be steering our behaviour and leading us astray. This frees up the space to live in the present with mindfulness, and create the future that we dream of!
