Therapy is more than just a scheduled appointment that ‘should’ be attended to get things ‘fixed’ or to gain more knowledge. Gaining more knowledge does not automatically translate to gaining more peace.
Therapy is more than the length of time spent searching for an absolution. It’s about giving yourself permission to activate wellbeing, which in turn defines how you spend this time. Time without permission and healthy action may not heal your wounds and may allow things to fester, giving way to frustration and burnout.
It is an irreversible insight, a deep-rooted validation, an empowerment for a healthier way of being, for a way to activate balance and to no longer be shackled to conditionings, autopilots, and scripts that no longer work, or maybe never worked; conditionings that tend to be conditional, such as ‘if this goes well, then I’m worth it.’
Therapy is your voice, your permission, your time, your space, and your right to intentionally check-in with yourself in a genuine way. Honest change, not repetition, flows from concrete insight.
To give healing a chance, cleaning a wound can sometimes sting.
I recognize that many people face barriers to attend in-person appointments due to factors such as work, family commitments, physical health, or location. With telepsychology, MiT clients can receive quality mental health services from anywhere in Alberta, Canada, providing the flexibility they need to prioritize their well-being. Empowering individuals to access the resources and care they need is at the core of Made in Thought’s mission.
I understand that seeking counselling can be nerve-wracking for some individuals, and it’s natural to have questions and concerns about the process. As such, I’m offering a free session to connect and address any questions you may have about Made in Thought. This session will also help us gauge if we are a good fit and compatible for your needs. Your questions and concerns are valid and important, and I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space from the very beginning. I will contact you at the phone number you provide.
That of a psychologist, of a navigator, and of a witness that can offer safety, space, and support while we collaboratively piece together the ‘humpty dumpty’ fragments of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours into an integrative whole to infuse balance. Piecing them together not where they once were, but where they need to be given the call of the moment.
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
An evidence-based intervention that focuses on the connectedness of our thoughts, emotions, body sensations and behaviour, and how distorted thinking patterns can impact this interconnectedness.
Mindfulness is more than a skill; it is an intentional act of awareness. Research on mindfulness has identified an assortment of benefits, such as a decrease in rumination, an increase in focus, stress reduction, and improvements to working memory and cognitive flexibility.
An evidence-based intervention that is short-term, goal-oriented, and embraces positive psychology principles and practices to help clients refocus from a problem-oriented mindset to a solution-oriented mindset.
An evidence-based intervention that focuses on the development of emotional intelligence, which echoes the way we express, regulate, make sense of, and transform emotions.
Overall, my diverse experience and training has given me a broad and nuanced understanding of therapy, allowing me to tailor my approaches to client needs.
