Find a Therapist in Duchess, Alberta.

My approach to psychotherapy is from a systems background. Having an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy I focus more on the systems we live in including our family, and histories to arrive at what is going on in our lives underneath the surface to cause us the griefs we have. I try to then be practical in my approach to helping people make changes in their lives that then help them overcome the challenges and issues they are facing.

Often we know what we need to do differently, it's not that we don't have the wisdom, it's that it can be hard to apply! 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!

Want to build new ideas, clarify difficulties with emotions, motives, and interactions with others that lead to confusion? Rebuilding confidence and trust in yourself is crucial for change to be achieved. Our lives and our pathways are not written in stone. When we tell our stories in ways that can make us stronger, we can discover - we are not the problem - the problem is the problem. When we separate ourselves from the problem we can begin to revise our relationships with problems and gain new insight into different ways we can live our lives. I can help you rewrite what you tell about yourself and discover new ways to reclaim your past and re-envision your future.

In my counselling practice I draw from approaches that are highly person-centered and focussed on client strengths. My approach is informed by family systems theory and an awareness of the impact of trauma. I come alongside clients in a compassionate, supportive way to facilitate movement towards growth and change.
