Find a Therapist in Martensville, Saskatchewan.

In your quest for understanding, connection, and personal growth, I'm here to journey with you into your inner and outer worlds. Together, we'll explore the intricate tapestry of your life, seeking clarity, self-compassion, and insight. We'll delve into the impact of life events and family relationships on your sense of self and emotional patterns. There is space to explore the themes most significant to you. This may encompass self-identity, emotions, relationships, sexuality, spirituality, creativity, work, mental health, addictions, and more. I'm here to support you through the transformation, emerging as a new and empowered version of yourself.

My approach to psychotherapy is to listen to my clients and not offer 'advice'. I want to know how the client conceptualizes the 'problem' or 'struggle' at this time in their lives, and how they might see their lives or themselves if the 'problem' were resolved. I feel very strongly that clients are the experts of their own lives, and I am only there to guide as we explore those parts of the problem that might allow for an opening towards healing. I ask clients to reflect a lot on how an emotion 'shows up' in their body, and I use meditation for 5 minutes in most sessions, which clients tend to say if very relaxing. This allows for a 'reset' and new way of looking at the 'problem'.

Do you suffer with addiction, anxiety, depression, stress, negative patterns of behavior, feelings that are debilitating? Therapy can help you with your moods, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors and teach you to take control of your life by responding to these challenges with healthy coping skills. Psychotherapy can also help you to resolve interpersonal conflicts, relieve stress and anxiety, and cope with life changes such as divorce, death of someone close, or the loss of a job. You can learn to manage unhealthy reactions, such as anger or being passive-aggressive. I use CBT, DBT, narrative, and somatic modalities, including hypnotherapy, to assist you in resolving these issues.

My hope is that you will find, as you look inward and gain insight; you will begin to makes choices that are true to yourself. I will help you to gain insight and improve your confidence as we explore your thoughts and feelings. You will gain an understanding of your behavior and strategies to move toward your potential. The goal is to help you live an authentic, meaningful life.

There is a reason we do what we do. At times, our dysfunctional actions may seem strange and baffling. However, through insight into our past, finding the symbolism and input we took from our experiences, and what messages we internalized, we can arrive at new understandings about how to change some of our behaviours. Whether it is reliving trauma, self-sabotage, or coming to terms with a loss, we sometimes find that the past needs to be acknowledged, processed, and recovered from.
