Anxiety Therapists in Winnipeg, MB

Sometimes, it can be difficult to live with big feelings, and we need to find healthy or different ways to cope. I have several years of individual and family therapy experience working at a children's mental health agency offering individual and family therapy. I support +18 teens, young adults and families through various challenges including anxiety , ADHD, emotion dysregulation, and relationship conflicts. Whether it is a one-time session, brief work, or ongoing sessions, I believe everyone can use support at one time or another.

Currently accepting new clients with diverse reasons for referral such as anxiety , panic attacks, depression, relationship issues, and stress management.

Does this sound familiar…Is this you? You're a go getter who moves at a fast pace! You have incredible drive, but have a hard time slowing down. Your mind is always on repeat. You suffer from anxiety in your daily life, work and relationships. You're always putting other people's needs first - You come in last place! You're always concerned about judgement and have a difficult time standing up for yourself and communicating in your relationships. You don’t feel heard or supported. If this is your story, I can help you!

My journey in the helping field has included working with individuals and families for more than 10 years. I very much welcome the opportunity to work with a diverse array of clients as I work from a multitude of approaches that include anti-oppression, feminist, client-centered, Indigenous and strengths-based. It has always been a passion of mine to work as a clinical social work therapist and therefore have a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Manitoba. My therapeutic approaches include DBT, other CBT interventions, and Indigenous ways of healing.

Tired of behaving or reacting from unconscious patterns? Looking to understand your behaviours and where they come from? Want to learn to have more compassion for yourself and others? Let's start with the inner-standing that everybody has fears , beliefs and rules for how they "should" be. Comprehending these narratives allows for compassionate curiosity around the origins and purposes of these stories that fuel our behaviours. Holistic exploration of these dialogues, can result in feeling and reacting differently and providing folks with new tools to move forward to overcome specific problems.

As a client-centered Family Therapist/Counsellor, I have the privilege of working with families, relationships and individuals. I help find the strength to create life changes, by identifying current patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, while working toward increasing an overall sense of well-being. I believe that a strong, trusting, and comfortable therapeutic relationship coupled with a compassionate and respectful approach fosters a safe environment. It is here that difficult topics and the sense of being "stuck" can be discussed and explored, until new/different ways for sustainable change can be found and implemented.

Are you feeling restless and emotional? Do you suffer from increased anxiety due to past stress and feelings of loneliness? Do you have persistent feelings of sadness and trouble handling negative emotions? Anxiety , depression, and stress can easily become overwhelming, affecting your daily routine and worsening your quality of life. This is also true if you suffer from low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness, or grief. Life’s challenges can rob you of your ability to experience joy, trapping you in negative thought patterns and emotions. Therapy can help you to overcome these persistent issues and realize your unique goals.

For those who are struggling with their connections with themselves-- anxiety , depression, trauma; or with others--marital distress, family conflict we provide a space that allows for exploration towards a better life. We value story. We love to laugh when life is funny. We aren't perfect, but we live real lives, and we work hard at our craft to give you the best experience possible. We each know the feeling of struggle, vulnerability, and that feeling of, "I don't know if I can do this. I don't know if I'm enough."

Truth, Healing & Reclaiming your identity, are goals I want you to achieve. The stories we tell ourselves influence how we: perform in relationships; view ourselves, & make sense of our experiences of the world around us. I use a narrative approach, which is effective in helping process topics such as: trauma, anxiety , mood disorders, addiction, depression, & family of origin challenges, amongst others. My experience has provided me an in-depth understanding of how social justice issues like: racism, gender discrimination sexual orientation, ability & such impact us. I want to carefully consider the impacts of each with you.

Do you often feel anxious without reason? Do you sometimes wish your mind could just stop thinking for awhile and let you enjoy inner peace? We often become victims of our own minds and emotions, struggling with the same inner and outer turmoil over and over and don’t know why. Anxiety , worry, self doubt, fear and incessant thinking aren’t caused by a single factor but a combination of things such as trauma, difficult life experiences, loss, troubled relationships and stress. Dealing with these issues, processing your feelings and learning strategies to quiet your mind will help you attain inner peace and emotional resilience
