Therapists in T2V

When it comes to living, life can be full of stressors, disappointments, changes, challenges and losses that can cause a range of emotional, mental and physical responses. In therapy, I take the approach that all experiences, both internal and external, can create opportunity for growth, fulfillment and greater meaning. Counselling services can range from short-term solution focus treatment to longer-term therapy/analysis. The treatment plan will depend on your individual needs, the preferred outcome, your ability/willingness to access services and ultimately, the best course of treatment for your unique situation.

Feeling anxious, scared, and alone, Emotional struggles are difficult and often isolating. Joy will help you become unstuck by providing you a safe place to talk and opportunity to learn coping strategies in a warm environment.

Are you stressed? Anxious? Are you often caught up in your painful past or worried about the uncertain future? You are reactive and take everything personally. You are irritated and restless. Disconnected and misunderstood. Empty and joyless. Self-criticism is your mantra. Happiness a virtual reality. It's hard to remember what matters to you or who you are. You are stuck. In. Your. Misery. I help people get unstuck. I help people improve their health and well-being, and overcome obstacles that are getting in the way of life. I provide practical tools to help you be present, open up, and do what matters.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless, or fearful? Do you need some new skills or tools to help you navigate through some of these challenges? I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists providing assessments, consultations, and counselling to adults, adolescents, and seniors for the past 14+ years.

Life sometimes presents person with circumstances that are beyond one's capability to cope. Adversity may isolate the person and start to rule one's life. I first work to help you identify the strengths and talents you may have lost sight of. I will compassionately support you in taking steps toward well-being. I will respect your path and your pace as you discover approaches and coping strategies you haven't encountered before. Through trying out new approaches and deciding whether they are a fit for you or not, you'll become more experienced and a wiser life traveller.

welcome! It takes courage to reach out. So whether you are doing so for the first time or are returning, I commend you for taking this step! Trauma (simple or complex; perinatal; childhood rooted), and anxiety & depression can significantly affect our mental, physical and emotional health, relationships and daily life. Events from long ago can continue to affect us in profound and sneaky ways, even if we thought we had managed them or they seem unrelated. But you do not need to hurt forever - you can have peace. In therapy, we will work together to understand the problem, heal the hurts and get you living your best life.

The process of dealing with a motor vehicle accident, head injury (mTBI), or sports injury can be life changing. The impact of a traumatic event can filters into every part of a person’s life. Support in processing and integrating an experience like this is possible and can be transformative. My background in the areas of injury rehabilitation, PTSD/trauma, concussion care, chronic pain management, and sport psychology, forms the base of my counselling/clinical work with clients. Together we will work through the emotional trauma caused by mTBI, PTSD, and the emotional distress caused by these injuries. It’s time to START LIVING!
