Therapists in Lacombe, AB

Experienced working with young adults, Indigenous people, farmers. Emotions communicate messages and add to the richness of life, but they can also feel like too much, we might try to push them down or ignore them, or we might let them control us. If you're looking to more effectively respond, manage, and use your emotions, then I want to work with you, whether in a coaching or counselling capacity. Some of the goals of our work together might be increasing your emotional regulation, enhancing emotional intelligence, improving your understanding of self, building coping skills, or simply having a space where you can let it all out.

I practice trauma-informed therapy. I believe non-judgmental acceptance & validation are key in supporting a client on their unique healing journey. Problems have causes that need to be examined. There are reasons we react and respond the way we do. I work with trauma and anxiety disorders including trauma from past abuse; grief and loss; challenges with family dynamics; and life transitions (divorce, empty nest, retirement). I do NOT work with addictions NOR in a consulting capacity for legal or employment requirements (eg: documentation for child custody issues, high conflict separation/divorce, or WCB/other benefit claims).

Issues of concern can arise for all families as children grow though various stages. With experience working with children and families in various capacities, issues such as parent teen conflict, grief and loss, divorce, depression, anxiety, attachment, and inattention can be addressed.

Have you reached the point where you are needing support? Has life become difficult to manage and feels overwhelming? Are you looking for someone that will listen, discuss helpful strategies and encourage you to find a different way of thinking? I am eager to meet with you and assist in reaching your goals. I am a Registered Social Worker - Mental Health Therapist and Masters of Counselling Psychology. My experience is primarily in the education system with child, youth and families. Within a confidential, safe space, and an empathetic approach I will help you gain insight around how you think, feel, and behave.

Are you experiencing distressing memories, images, thoughts, and perceptions of your traumatic experience? Maybe you are encountering nightmares and flashbacks and reliving the events as if they were still happening increasing irritability, difficulty sleeping, hyper-vigilance, exaggerated startle responses, and detachment from those around you. Your experience may have triggered your inner alarm system keeping you in a place where you think you can’t escape your feelings and feel out of control.

Welcome! It takes courage to look for clarity, peace, and direction during difficult times in life. It can be scary to reach out for help navigating the unique journey that you are on. Whether you are having relationship issues, feeling the magnitude of stress, or feeling stuck and disheartened, I would be honoured to walk with you along your path of healing. I provide a respectful, safe space where you can be supported to dive into honest exploration of what is happening in your life and relationships.

The challenges we experience in life can leave us feeling exhausted. We might be feeling stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of dread, self-criticism, and overwhelming feelings. We may feel disconnected from ourselves, our goals, our values and those around us. As your therapist, my goal is to provide you a safe, respectful and non-judgmental space, where you are able to reconnect with yourself, your emotions and your values. I believe that we all have the capacity to move towards self-compassion, growth, exploration and empowerment when provided the opportunity and support.

"My ideal client is turning their focus to personal growth and healing. We all deserve a meaningful life"... Life is too short to let the past control you, the future to cause fear, to engage in bad relationships, or continuing unhealthy patterns keeping you from happiness. My wish for you is to find meaning in your life, solutions to your problems, while letting go of pain and anxiety. I do not view therapy as a one way street, where you take the role of "listener", and I of "expert". I believe all my clients are the true experts of their lives, and have solutions and hidden strengths to overcome "any and all" challenges.
