Therapists in Carman, MB

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, facing the impact of trauma, going through relationship challenges, or having emotional difficulties - you deserve to heal in a trusted environment. I provide both individual therapy and couples counselling, and my goal is to offer you a safe space where you feel seen, understood, and supported as you journey through the highs and lows of life.

I have had the privilege of helping clients of diverse backgrounds with varying issues including: self-worth, trauma, sexuality, spirituality, addictions, depression, anxiety, boundary setting, relational stress, and immigration and cultural issues. I work with children, adolescent and couples, but I thrive helping women reconnect with their identities. This includes helping them through different phases in life, family relationships, marriage and parenting issues, professional and personal conflicts etc.

I believe connection is crucial in our lives and when our connection to ourselves and others is suffering, life can feel lonely and dark. Therefore, my practice is dedicated to helping people find the light in their life again. Whether that light is found through deepening and healing the relationship with yourself or with a partner/family member, I provide a safe and transparent environment for you to do the work you need to. Helping individuals, couples and families apply the awareness they have gained towards making positive changes in their lives is something I never tire of - I love what I do!

Life can feel impossible at times. We all know that pain in life is unavoidable, but I'd love to help you carry that burden while we work towards solutions together. There is no "magic wand" that works for everyone, so my goal is to work with you to find what works for you specifically. I aim to create a space free of judgement where you feel supported, heard and validated. I believe in meeting people where they are at. You will do some hard work, but you won't be doing it alone. I tend to pull from mindfulness practices and cognitive restructuring strategies as tools that people have found beneficial.

For as long as I can remember, I have always been interested in people's stories. You can expect that I will be genuinely interested in yours. My approach is to listen to your story with sincere curiosity and without judgement. I believe that growth happens when we step out of our comfort zone and allow ourselves to be brave and vulnerable. Building a strong therapeutic alliance where you can feel safe to explore your struggles is my fundamental goal as a therapist. I am accepting new clients and I am available for in-person and online sessions.
