If you struggle to maintain satisfying relationships, find yourself dissociating, or would like to focus on coping skills or improving self-esteem, reach out to schedule a free consultation.
Understanding and making sense of life experiences
There are many reasons why individuals find themselves seeking therapy. I work with adults who are looking to make sense of life experiences and the feelings and emotions they may be struggling to process. You may have gained or lost a new role or relationship in life. You may be navigating your identity. Many of my clients have come to understand themselves as Neurodivergent later in life. Neurodivergence includes those with diagnosed or suspected Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD, CPTSD, Bipolar and Borderline Personalities and may intersect with developmental trauma or disability as well. I work with you to understand how your perspective was formed, how or why it aligns (or doesn’t) with your values, why emotionality persists (and how to navigate that) and how to move forward with more confidence, honouring your individual capacity.
If you are seeking a space to process your feelings or experiences, and/or working towards change in your life, book a free consultation here to discuss therapy options.
Therapeutic Lens
I work from a disability-affirming lens, accounting for life experiences such as grief and loss, trauma, chronic illness, difficult childhoods, parenting and caregiving challenges in consideration of your unique cultural background. My aim as a therapist is to help you to process your experiences, so that you can achieve your individual goals, working towards personal growth through attuning to your own authentic voice and internal compass.
As a Psychotherapist and Creative Arts Therapist I meet with individual clients. I also offer a selection of group therapy sessions for creative processing. Learn more here.
Types of Sessions
There are different therapeutic options offered at Think Joy Drama Therapy including individual talk-based sessions for those who prefer a talk-based approach.
For the more creatively inclined I offer Drama & Play sessions which directly use the creative experience to indirectly work through your goals and experiences. This is a unique method used for processing traumatic associations and memories, or working with dissociation.
For something in between and/or for the writers I am now offering individual Poetry Therapy sessions where you can bring your own writing or poetry to discuss in session or poetry will be provided to use as a jumping off point to therapeutic material.
