The decision to come to therapy is deeply personal. Looking for a therapist to help you live the life you want is a brave first step. I am a trauma-focused therapist trained in EMDR, which is a therapy designed for recovery from traumatic events. I can support you in processing recent traumatic events or more complex traumatic memories from relationships or childhood. Sometimes things happen that are too much for your nervous system to handle all at once and the memories begin to impact your mental health. EMDR is an excellent way to move through that content at a pace that feels right for you.

Do you have a past event that affects you in the present when you think about it? Or a phobia that is causing you anxiety? I specialize in a treatment called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) that can help you process distressing memories without needing to relive them. You are not required to share details of the past situation, but instead will be guided to mentally engage with those memories in a way that feels safe and manageable. Using guided imagery and rapid eye movements, ART allows the brain to reprocess trauma, anxiety, or other emotional challenges, reducing their emotional impact and helping you move forward.

Accepting new clients - Although challenges are part of life, they can be overwhelming and can lead us to feeling isolated and disconnected from the things we love most about life. A confidential & non-judgmental space to explore your issues can be extremely helpful in healing and getting what you want out of your life. I believe healing happens best in a space where you feel valued, understood and empowered. My practice is based on these principles: relationships matter, non-judgement is paramount, you are in charge of your healing path, trauma-informed care, cultural safety, and you have the power to 're-author' your life story.

When life starts to feel overwhelming, it often shows up in ways that are hard to name. Your child may seem more anxious, irritable, or withdrawn, and you're not sure how to help. Your teen might be overwhelmed by big emotions, stuck in self‑criticism, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others. Or maybe you're a young adult facing life transitions, relationship challenges, or a heaviness that's hard to shake. If any of this feels familiar, you're in the right place. I am Chauni, a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) in Winnipeg, and supporting children, teens, and young adults through life's hardest moments is my calling.

See More Counsellors FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether your therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
What are the advantages of seeing a female therapist?
Many people - not just women - prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. Women who see a female therapist may also feel freer to discuss challenges that are closely tied to gender, such as life transitions including motherhood or menopause. Some clients who instinctively feel more comfortable disclosing to women may find it easier to broach sensitive subjects with a female therapist. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Is therapy different for men and women?
Therapy can be different for men and women insofar as gender plays a role in the challenges an individual faces and the events in life an individual has experienced. Women often face different expectations from their families, friends, and society than men do. In some cases, women might feel most comfortable expressing themselves differently from how men do. Talking about one's feelings and emotions is a critical part of most therapies, and some women might find it comes more naturally when talking to a female therapist. Ultimately, though, therapeutic treatment should be tailored to the individual's specific needs.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK - even encouraged! - to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
