Feeling distant from your spouse? Fighting with your teen? Struggling with anger , anxiety, depression, or addiction? Experienced trauma? I work with a variety of clients, but particularly enjoy problems in which clients that have felt misunderstood or mistreated. This includes working with adolescents, parent-teen conflict, relationship difficulties in both individuals and couples, addictions, anger or anxiety management, trauma, and Borderline Personality Disorder. In many of the clients I see, fear confusion are often barriers to a satisfying life. Healing often comes through gaining confidence in areas one can control.

We can often feel alone, ashamed or confused when we are struggling and wonder what to do in these moments. Krista takes pride in being your team-mate through this process.

Are you ready to move beyond coping and toward change and healing? I help clients achieve their goals by introducing practical strategies/skills, while simultaneously working through the causes of issues so that symptoms reduce in the long term. This may involve re-evaluating your thinking, improving awareness and regulation of emotions, getting in tune with your values, identifying parts of yourself that are in conflict, or making peace with past experiences... Everyone's needs are different, so I will work with you to create a personalized treatment approach.

SunRise Psychology Centre / Winderemere Psychology Centre are well-established clinics in Sherwood Park and Edmonton. We pride ourselves on highly confidential and very discrete services. We have 25 years of experience in the field of psychology and believe our patients greatly benefit from our approach to therapy. As much of our services have moved to online platforms and our practitioners now work mainly from home ~ we have decided to reduce our practice down to our Winderemere Clinic until summer of 2021. We are offering online sessions for patients from Sherwood Park and other remote areas.

Hello, I'm Marta, I have a Master of Social Work with Clinical Specialization from the University of Calgary, and I am registered with Alberta College of Social Work. I am committed to foster a safe and non-judgemental space for clients as they identify, create, and achieve personal and relational meaning in their lives.

You feel overwhelmed or numb and it hurts. The cycle of distressing feelings and fight-flight-freeze reactions keep you stuck. You hold it all inside, but no matter how hard you try, the emotions spill over and you snap at loved ones or shut down. Your mind tells you, "you are not good enough". You avoid taking action and relationships feel like a struggle because it’s hard to trust and let people in but you long to create connections with the ones you love. You can gain this connection! You don’t have to live in the past or in the future, you can learn to live in the present fully through awareness and active coping skills.

I help people overcome anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship issues, and many others. I ensure that my clients have the tools to maintain the gains they have made with me.

Moreover, my education in the humanities and my personal varied background helps me serve clients dealing with multicultural, cross-cultural, and family matters.

Quite often, we manage our biggest challenges with strength and confidence. And yet, there are times when we need an outside perspective that provides clarity, hope, and courage. Each individual has unique strengths and qualities, and my job is to help you connect with the inner strength that makes you resilient and prompts fruitful actions. I have thirteen years of experience helping individuals with depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, marital conflicts, workplace conflicts, and other issues. I have two Master's degrees, one in Social Work and the other in Special Education/Education Psychology.

Throughout my 13 years working in the mental health field, I have learned that the process of therapy is as unique as the people who choose to take this brave journey into themselves. Challenges and difficulties are a reality of life, and therapy is geared toward supporting you as you address uncomfortable feelings or other Psychological needs as you move toward relief. It is about becoming present and aware in your life from a non-judgemental place. Because wellness is different for everyone, no struggles are too small for therapy.

Life transitions, daily stressors, trauma, and mental illnesses can negatively influence the way we think, feel, and behave. These factors can cause us to feel "stuck" in old habits and patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that no longer serve us. I recognize that when we are stuck, it is difficult to make that first step towards change and reach out for support. Hence, I acknowledge you for making the first step into finding what works best for you. I understand that you want to take charge of your mental and emotional pain so that you can unlock your utmost potential.

"I just want to feel a sense of peace again. I haven't felt joy for too long. I don't know why I feel sad and angry all the time." These are statements my clients often say to me when I am learning about them. In womanhood, there are complex reasons why women struggle. I look at areas like work, intimate partnership/s, friendships, early childhood experiences, female biology, the relationship with the self, and the relationship with spirituality (how to make life meaningful) to help untangle the emotional web women feel stuck in. I gently teach women how to begin the process of healing by looking within.
