Find a Therapist in De Winton, Alberta.

Contrary to popular psychology, believing that just the right psychological theory, intervention and technique will act like a health-care “magic pill” that can make one’s worries suddenly disappear is mistaken. Most of the therapeutic change that happens during psychotherapy is due to the therapeutic alliance: rapport, relationship and resources. Rapport is about the connection the client and therapist feel for each other. Relationship is about the constructive cognitive/emotional exchanges and trust that a client and therapist build up over time. Resources are about how the therapist helps the client activate their existing emotions, thoughts and behaviours in service to healthy change.

I aspire to create an affirming and judgement-free environment where individuals feel safe expressing their experiences as everyone deserves to be heard and witnessed for who they are. I can provide practical guidance and support and I incorporate humour and humility into my practice. I view treatment as holistic and do not subscribe to a "one size fits all" approach. While there can be common symptoms, each person brings their own unique experiences and perspectives to the challenges which they are currently facing, because of this I will always work with you to design a practical and specific treatment plan designed just for you.

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.

My therapy style is one of candid compassion. I will wholeheartedly support you and keep your best interests at the forefront without coddling you or feeding you BS.

Psychotherapy is a process of gaining an awareness of one's issues which leads to improving the understanding of one's issues. Following this, the process of psychotherapy is to follow through with some form of therapeutic action to either improve the awareness, increase one's understanding or resolve the issues that one originally came in to psychotherapy for.

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.

Therapy using a variety of methods can help you experience relief from distressing symptoms and resolve, or learn to deal with, problems of life. In an accepting relationship I facilitate healing by listening to your unique story and by sensitively helping you work through deeply personal, and often highly uncomfortable, topics.
