About me

Hi! I'm Ty! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and have been working in the mental health field for 17 years. I have a wide range of experience, counseling adolescents and adults, as well as conducting marriage and family therapy. I have extensive training and experience in the areas of mood and personality disorders, trauma, and addiction. I have a keen understanding of how these, as well as other life issues impact an individual and his or her family.

I am passionate about helping others and my fun personality and sense of humor assure your counseling experience will be helpful and enjoyable. Whatever the issue or situation you may be experiencing, I think you will find that I'm easy to talk to. I tend to use a client-centered approach to ensure that clients feel comfortable, understood, and accepted. I also work from a cognitive-behavioral framework to help clients understand how their negative and unhelpful thinking can impact their behaviors and life choices.

In my time away from counseling, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children as well as other family and friends. I am an avid runner and yogi. I like most outdoor activities, and music of all kinds, especially country. I value hard work and keeping commitments. I am also very enthusiastic about cute shoes and big jewelry.

I commend your courage for seeking help to reach your life goals, and I look forward to working with you!

Ty has always been a great sounding board. She's given me sage advice and helped me navigate the hardest chapters of my life while gently teaching me better coping skills and pushing me to ask myself the hard questions. Therapy changed my life, I'm so lucky I was matched with her.

Ty has been extremely helpful and continues to be helpful in all my areas of concern. She’s very responsive and in a timely manner. If I mark a message as urgent she responds even quicker. I look forward to continuing our partnership.

I feel like I could write a novel about Ty, But I will just say that from my questionnaire when I started out, it felt like they took that and tried to find Somebody who could possibly be my best friend and support me through anything that I go through… She is funny, which is great because I use humour as a defence mechanism for everything in life! I have nothing bad to say about her, I have enjoyed our time together so far!

Ty is very kind and empathetic. She is great at providing practical tools and perspectives that may be applied to a range of concerns and that can be practiced regularly to improve ones ability to build their own coping skills.
