About
Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing - especially the humor part! Which is why they are benchmarks of my clinical practice. Combined together, the healing force created is a 'game changer' in people's lives. My approach to psychotherapy is person centered (congrats, you are unique! Your therapy should be too), grounded in attachment theory (relationships are our friend! Don't argue...everyone needs a friend) and developmental psychology (we all go through life changes, change sucks, but it's true). All this guides our path to wellness.
Now please bear with me as I discuss my credentials and specialties. I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists and a member of Psychologists Association of Alberta. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults through several modalities (talk therapy, art therapy, play therapy, sandtray and sensory work).
However, the MOST IMPORTANT credential I have is that I am a person. This is good to remember, as starting therapy can be intimidating (which credentials, specialties, frameworks are best?), but in the end, therapy is about building an honest, safe, and trusting relationship - a 'healing relationship' with another person.
Also, be forewarned, I laugh at my own jokes.
