Find a Therapist in Aldergrove, British Columbia.

As a therapist, I work with individual adults and with couples to heal emotional wounds, both within the individual and within the couple. I create a feeling of safety where you can recover from the past, and develop a strong, clear sense of yourself as a worthy individual, as well as creating a relationship in which you are able to maximize your potential, both as a human being, and as a couple. I have specialized training in both trauma, and couples therapy, both of which help me to help you.

As a Gestalt therapist, I help individuals to work toward their wholeness and to be able to meet their particular needs. I believe every individual is unique. Therefore, while Gestalt therapy is my main approach, I draw from other approaches based on individual needs and I help them toward their recovery with the most appropriate techniques. Some of the other approaches I am using include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Human Centered Approach, Emotion Focused Therapy, Internal Family System, and OEI. Having experience with clients from diverse backgrounds, holding multicultural perspectives, and using techniques from various modalities, I am confident I can better help you in your healing.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

In my practice of psychotherapy, clients can anticipate a compassionate, client-centered approach that values their unique experiences and perspectives. I believe in creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors openly. Through collaborative dialogue and evidence-based techniques drawn from various modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, clients gain insight into their challenges and develop practical strategies for growth and change.

My approach to psychotherapy involves understanding my clients by using a client-centred lens, while also taking on a systems approach to understand the bigger picture. I am informed by Attachment Theory, as well as Emotion-Focused Therapy, and use this to help clients gain a deeper understanding of where they came from and how it is showing up in their current situation. I also employ a trauma-informed lens in which I ensure safety and comfortability in processing overwhelming experiences.

Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to take a step back from your life and reflect on what matters to you. It used to be thought that if you need a "shrink" i.e. head shrinker, there's something wrong with you! These days, we know that the demands of our fast paced lives can get us down and we may not be aware of the reasons. We may be too close to our own issues. In psychotherapy, we can slow down and have help to examine what comes up in the context of our difficulties. Our bodies and emotions register reactions that we may not understand. Psychotherapy can help open a space to let new realities unfold through honouring small reactions that can be understood in the larger context.

Psychotherapy can be beneficial for everyone. Whether you would like to further self-exploration, break old patterns keeping you from reaching your full potential, work through past trauma, gain more clarity on a specific issue, or repair ruptures in your relationship, psychotherapy can help you reach your goals. Psychotherapy can provide a safe and supportive environment while giving you the tools and psychoeducation to create sustainable change.

Psychotherapy is a deeper subset of counselling, that works to discover and identify longstanding patterns and themes by which an individual views the world and their life. We all have a sense of how the world works, but rarely do people shift their awareness to a particular theme and explored how it impacts their life. In doing so, one is able to explore new ways of interpreting their past, present experiences, and future choices.

Given the widespread adaptability of CBT, I am able to work with individuals from diverse cultures and backgrounds. CBT can be utilized to remedy various mental health concerns including, but not limited to the following: depression; anxiety; trauma; relationship concerns; personality disorders; grief; life transitions; & self-worth. Treatment goals are collaboratively selected based upon the individuals’ unique needs, background, experiences & strengths. Namely, unhelpful thoughts, behaviours & feelings can be substituted for more adaptive ones. Though you are the expert on your life, I can offer a nonjudgmental place to better understand yourself; therefore, allowing for personal growth.

My belief is that human beings often forget to put themselves as important. We ensure that our car has regular maintenance, that our teeth have regular check ups, that our physical health is on track; but we don't put the necessary care and check up to our mental health. It is so important in this fast paced, jam packed world we live in that we take the time to work on ourselves as well. This is the way that we can maintain balance within our lives. This is about personal empowerment.

The circumstances and issues that you are dealing with are unique to you, but you don't have to face them alone. Every individual has different experiences, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes, cultural backgrounds and "upbringings". Counselling sessions are private and confidential, and can provide a way for you to explore your problems and really tune in to your feelings. This is an opportunity to speak freely about your circumstances and release pent up feelings, without having to worry about what others think or feel, and without receiving unwanted advise from family, friends or coworkers. At the root of the problem, there are very real, legitimate and understandable reasons for feeling the way you feel, thinking the way...(view profile to read more)

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.

I believe the main function of psychotherapy is to be a reflective tool. Like a mirror I can reflect what you show me exactly as it is, but I can also magnify and expand the image for you. Sometimes we can narrow in on an issue, and observe the smallest details; sometimes getting so close that they don't look small anymore, in all their complexity. Other times an expansive view is is more beneficial, so we can see the overall connections a single issue can have with other various parts of life.

Clients who receive psychotherapy from me will learn about the root of their issues and how to heal these wounds. Many issues we face in life are deep rooted in our childhood or resulting from traumas we have survived and need to be addressed to be truly free and achieve peace and serenity. I will help you learn to live a vital, rich meaningful life and overcome any mental health issues.

While my approach is tailored to each client's needs, I predominantly use CBT with a neurobiological lens as my main approach in psychotherapy. I aim to help individuals identify the interconnection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and environment. Evidence-based therapies such as CBT have shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, anger management, OCD, personality disorders, and ADHD.

My qualifications include a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. My trauma-informed theoretical framework is anchored in Internal Family Systems (IFS), while integrating the attachment principles and relational lens of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Both of these methodologies are evidence-based practices that have been demonstrated to be effective with a variety of situations and symptoms. I recognize that each individual has a unique set of circumstances and perspectives, so with this in mind, I will work collaboratively with you to determine your strengths, needs, areas of growth, and go

Exploring your past and present experiences with a compassionate professional can provide a safe atmosphere for intrapersonal exploration, allowing you to understand yourself better. When we understand ourselves, our relationships and habits become clearer, leading to new possibilities for the future. Self-awareness brings increased satisfaction in relationships with self and others, as well as enhancing our ability to make confident decisions and move toward our goals.
