Find A Psychologist in Gibbons, AB.

I have been registered as a psychologist for the past 11 years, and have undergone training in a variety of counselling methods with many different types of clients. I use a variety of techniques depending on a client's personality, presenting issue, and what they are experiencing from week to week. I also focus on both shorter term counselling that is directed towards resolving a particular issue, as well as longer term psychotherapy that is more focused on internal exploration and deeper change. I provide a safe, empathic environment so that clients are comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and find the strength to overcome adversity and make healthy choices.

Hello there! I love and enjoy working with individuals (including children), families and couples such as yourselves. As a psychologist, I bring a person-centred orientation to my work, and am passionate about using alternate healing methods along with traditional CBT in my work with you. I am also sensitive to multi-cultural issues, cultural diversity and differences in world-views, being from a different cultural background myself! Together, we can explore your unique concerns and challenges in a confidential and safe environment.

Everyday life presents us with different challenges, and not all challenges are easy to overcome. In order to preserve our mental and physical health, it is important to identify when the challenges we are facing are beyond the normal threshold of storm and stress. The next step in preserving your mental and physical health is making a decision to reach out and find a professional who will provide you with a safe environment; an environment where you will feel safe, comfortable, respected, listened to and understood. I want to provide you with that safe environment and give you the necessary support to deal with challenges you face. I want to give you time and space to share with me your thoughts, emotions, needs, desires, struggles, and questions.

I work with individuals and couples using therapeutic approaches versus counselling techniques. In my opinion, the difference is that therapy offers lasting changes versus quick, short fixes. My approach to therapy is long term and I believe that changes are possible by experientially experiencing something different. My attempt is to create a different experience for clients in the room with me.

Sometimes life’s up’s and downs feel really hard. Relationships can be challenging, and it’s hard to understand what gets in the way of peace and happiness. As a psychologist I am trained to assist you in figuring out how to get life back on track. I incorporate faith and spirituality with psychological principle to assist you in letting go of limiting thoughts and reconnecting to your Wise/Devine Self. Why a psychologist? Psychologists generally have more extensive education and clinical training than counsellors and are able to address more complex issues.

I help clients achieve their goals by introducing practical strategies/skills, while simultaneously working through the causes of issues so that symptoms reduce in the long term. This may involve re-evaluating your thinking, improving awareness and regulation of emotions, identifying parts of yourself that are in conflict, or making peace with past experiences. Everyone's' needs are different, so I will work with you to create a personalized treatment approach. I integrate therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy.

My approach to counselling is grounded in my faith that people are intrinsically worthy, are able to make sound decisions, have successful relationships, and create the life they want. I integrate a variety of treatment methods into therapy including cognitive behavioral, humanistic, family of origin, and systems therapy. I focus on people's strenghts, and encourage people to trust themselves. As a registered psychologist I am recognized by most insurance companies.
