Motivational Interviewing Therapists in T2R

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and/or trauma, that affects your day-to-day functioning, relationships, career? Do you feel exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed by living up to others standards, getting through the day, feeling like there's no light at the end of the tunnel? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, work through trauma, finding their place in life. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn't be so hard to live a better life.

Life can be challenging and although we may be able to cope with the majority of difficulties that come our way sometimes an issue arises that feels too difficult to manage on our own.

Initiating any type of therapy can be intimidating. My approach is to offer a welcoming, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood as we work together on your treatment goals.

I specialize in working with youth, children and families in the areas of medical and sport psychology. I'm a Registered Psychologist who has a PhD in Child Clinical Psychology. Over the last seven years, I've worked at a pediatric hospital and strive for effective, empowering, and evidence based treatment. I use a Biopsychosocial approach to help facilitate optimal psychological, physiological and autonomic functioning and often collaborate with other medical professionals. I primarily focus on treating medical anxiety/trauma (e.g., fear of needles/dentists), body symptoms/pain (e.g. abdominal pain or dizziness), rehabilitation from injury, enhancing sport performance, and coping with illness.

Have you experienced a traumatic event that has stuck with you, making it more difficult to perform daily tasks or hobbies you once enjoyed? Maybe 'trauma' doesn’t resonate but deep down you know that some things you have experienced have left an imprint. My clients are women with concerns around perfectionism, overthinking, inner critics, anxiety, and healing from betrayal trauma and abuse. Often they grew up labelled as 'too sensitive', 'too much' or 'not enough' and struggle with purpose, self worth and a lack of meaning in their lives. My clients are inquisitive, brave and resilient, even if they aren't aware of that yet.

I am constantly amazed at the resilience we all show, as we navigate our lives amidst the challenges that invariably arise! Sometimes the demands on us outweigh the resources we have available in that moment. It takes a courageous person to recognize the need for, and to request and accept, support. I am honoured every time clients invite me to join them along their journeys toward improved insight, skill, interaction, and overall living.

In my practice I work with members of the community and first responders who have experienced traumatic events. This involves work with active-duty members of the Canadian Forces, members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, firefighters, medical personnel and others who are directly or vicariously impacted by traumatic events. I also routinely work with members of the community who have endured traumatic events of different kinds. I invite you to watch my TedX talk from 2011 in which I discuss Trauma, Change and Resilience for an introduction to how I think about trauma and its impact.

My approach to counselling is specific to each client I work with. I believe the therapeutic process is highly creative and that it relies equally on both spontaneous diversion and meticulous planning. In addition to direct focus on the individual, I also believe deeply in the power of family dynamics, social structure, and the societal pressures that exist in our highly complex modern world.

My approach to my work is grounded in honesty, openness, trust and humor. In a world that is fast paced and sometimes unkind, my intention is to offer a gentle, understanding space where you can start to understand yourself, your emotions and take away tangible tools to help you continue to show up authentically. My goal is to help those I encounter leave feeling empowered with desire to thrive in their personal journeys, no matter what this may look like for you.

CONFIDENTIAL, COMPASSIONATE, SKILLED...My clients are curious, brave and ready to evolve, even if they're not quite sure what that looks like yet. They are looking to access the underlying roots of present day triggers, to live authentically in a world that promotes quick fix solutions and unending busyness. Meaningful growth commands us to slow down, pay attention, inquire within, and be (not do). Individuals that connect with me are ready for something different, something deeper. They are ready to develop a more compassionate relationship to the parts of self that are calling for attention. They are ready to thrive.

Contextual forces of family, community, historical events, and trauma shape the brain from conception through the lifespan. Less than optimal circumstances can lead to a compromised nervous system and the formation of maladaptive patterns in the brain and body. As a result, you may suffer from symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, poor emotional regulation, difficulty in relationships, addictions, dissociation; and even autoimmune disorders or physical symptoms that cannot be explained medically. If you want to heal stuck patterns, live authentically with more joy and less fear, and have better relationships, I can help!
