Therapists in K9J

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life? Are you burning out? If you are experiencing high anxiety right now, you are not alone. You may even notice you are living in the Fight, Flight, or Freeze response. I support clients by helping them learn skills to cope in the moment and getting curious about the roots of pain from the past for true healing. Learning to regulate your body's natural alarm system and process emotions are essential to overall mental health - and we can explore these together.

Accepting a limited number of new clients - Sometimes in life, we find ourselves feeling worn down. This is normal. Life is demanding, and as we grow, so do our responsibilities. The struggle is when we don't find a balance to life's demands. When we lose that balance, it can be easy to forget what joy, peace, or fulfillment feels like. Our balance can be disrupted by a job that feels uninspiring, a relationship that feels disconnected, or maybe we've lost someone or something important to us. For many of us, when our balance is compromised, we can experience feelings of anxiety, frustration, and or depression.

Everyone goes through hardship and is deserving of a guiding hand through that hardship. Sometimes, life just deals you a really hard hand. Many people often find themselves feeling hurt, confused, scared, ashamed, depressed, anxious, hopeless as a response to life’s challenges. Sometimes, we become overwhelmed by our thoughts and feelings and are unsure how to move forward to find comfort or answers. Psychotherapy offers you a safe relationship to better understand yourself and what you are going through. I create a warm and nonjudgmental environment for you to explore your hopes, dreams, fears, and challenges.

***Quality therapy at an affordable rate.*** If you are experiencing any emotional, cognitive or physiological disturbances, then therapy is for you. Therapy is a service used to help individuals promote mental health and physical well-being. More than that, however, therapy is a relationship between client and therapist in which change is made. Therapy can help clarify the past and release old tension, and revive the present and bring great change. It is a powerful and effective tool for individual healing.

In life, we get many chances to rewrite our stories. Healing can be found when we connect with our true nature; when we unite with the parts of us that we have disconnected from because of stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, anger, chronic illness, disability, shame, or guilt. I see my role as creating a container to support you in developing a deeper relationship with yourself, your community, and your greater environment.

You are struggling with a particular situation or relationship in your life. Maybe this is an unusual occurrence or perhaps this difficult situation has been in your life for a long time and has been of harm to you and to others. You are looking for ways to overcome your problems and achieve a balanced and happy life that comes with understanding and resolving them. You may be aware of some of the solutions but could benefit from discussing and taking action on the difficult patterns that limit your success in achieving and maintaining a fulfilled life.

Relationships are central to our well-being. When our relationships are not going well, we can become lonely and isolated, and our mental health suffers. Seeking professional help to look at how we function in our relationships and the impact that they have on us and we on them, can open possibilities for growth. By recognizing the present-day impact of past events, by focusing on our goals for the future, and by changing unhelpful thinking patterns, we can find a path to improved relationships and better mental health.

I work holistically with a broad range of people, and write regularly on the blog page of my own website at www.dyadtherapy.com. My practice is based on psychodynamic therapy, which involves listening intently and without judgement. I'm also trained in CBT. I help you explore issues and help to make sense of what we find together, putting feelings and thoughts into helpful contexts and insights.

I am experienced in providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families experiencing a range of clinical issues including anxiety, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, and trauma.

Life can be really hard sometimes. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or trauma, there is hope to heal. We can help you find meaningful ways to process your emotions, rebuild your identity, and provide safety to unresolved trauma stored in your body. Each of our Mindjoy Therapists uses a holistic approach, recognizing that trauma can impact our spirit, soul, and body.

I support individuals who feel stuck and are curious about engaging in therapeutic art-making as an instrument of growth, support and personal empowerment. I work from a place of witnessing the human experience, with art-making at the centre that supports the healing process and anchors the therapeutic relationship. Art-making within a secure therapeutic relationship offers an opportunity to practice self-care and provides a safe place for further self-discoveries, new ways of solution finding and gaining new skills to manage some of life’s challenges.

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor and have over 10 years of experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. I work with adults who are experiencing stress, anxiety, burnout, and/or experiencing significant life transitions (eg. school to work, work to retirement, new parents, empty nesters, relocation, etc.). Transitions in life can be some of the most challenging times, when our direction, support systems, and needs evolve. While I work with all adults, I do have particular experience supporting post-secondary students, having worked with university students for ten years.
