Find a Therapist in Edmonton, Alberta.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I integrate multiple approaches in my practice. Approaches may involve learning practical skills and strategies, experiencing avoided emotions, evaluating and challenging negative thought patterns, processing trauma, or resolving internal conflicts. Treatment types may evolve and shift, and progress is monitored to ensure that your goals are being met.

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 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.
