Grief Therapists in Okotoks, AB

The human brain is an amazing tool with incredible possibilities. However, sometimes this wonderful tool can generate states and thoughts that are not as useful to us. Luckily our mind is also flexible, which means that with some intentional adjustments we can often change how we think, feel and behave. In a way, therapy is all about getting to know ourselves and using our mind’s own tricks to our advantage, to facilitate the changes we want to see.

It’s hard to feel like people will understand you when you’ve been through difficult life experiences and have had to do hard things to survive. Getting control of your emotions and finding a way to stop the pain and suffering is possible. You may fear that feeling deeply makes you weak but your strength comes from your sensitivity and your ability to make it through tough times, even when you’re afraid the world won’t understand or that people will abandon you. You might feel like something is wrong with you or that no matter what you do nothing will get better.

There is nothing worse than being in a relationship that hurts. Are you struggling to be heard in your relationship? Tired of arguing all the time? Feeling distant from your partner or feeling like they are always criticizing you or shutting you out emotionally?

Counselling can help you create a better life.

My background is in systems theory; the idea that everyone is connected to those around them, with influence between all those people, organizations, and cultures. My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I also see a need for insight into the meaning that we make/have made of things and how that impacts our present. Therapy then, involves opening space for a person to increase awareness of their own process and to see alternative perspectives, thereby empowered to make different life decisions. It is so exciting to see someone realize that they have the power to change their perspective and their life!
