I am the Owner and Supervising Psychologist at Prairie Psychology, with over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist and personal coach. I use evidence-based approaches that include CBT, ACT, focussing, and mindfulness. I always tailor psychotherapy to your individual needs to help you overcome your difficulties and enhance the quality of your life. The typical challenges include relationship difficulties, trauma, sleep, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, or OCD, but many clients simply seek guidance and support with everyday problems. I provide a warm and safe space for you to be you.
I am also involved in mental health innovation projects, including True You Urban and Island Retreats, and Enhanced Therapy Institute, the future home of MDMA-Assisted Therapy. I also run a beautiful wellness retreat center North Point Retreat, 2.5 hours north-east of Winnipeg. I am also a host of MDMA Therapy Podcast (available everywhere).
I believe that personal strength, open-heartedness, effective communication, strong relationships, and creativity lie at the core of a good life. I believe personal challenges are opportunities for growth. But when I work with you, I will put all my beliefs aside, fully support you in who you are, and focus on helping you with whatever help you need.
