Arete Therapists in Winnipeg, MB

People are wired to desire closeness within relationships. However, early trauma and deep seated disappointment train our brains to use strategies to decrease painful emotional experiencing. When nobody was there to bring comfort or teach coping strategies, people either grow up to isolate or become over involved in the lives of others. Therapy explores not just the storyline but more importantly, the emotions and meanings beneath. In therapy people want to strike that balance of feeling cared for and understood by the therapist, while also being gently challenged to risk change and the discomfort that comes with growth.

I'm a trauma-informed therapist with over 30 years of experience helping people overcome depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and PTSD. I use scientifically proven therapy approaches to help individuals and couples heal pain and resolve their struggles. These leading counselling approaches provide lasting improvements for even the most difficult and long-standing problems. In individual or couples therapy, you'll be treated with understanding and compassion. I will be accepting and supportive of you regardless of your problems. We'll work to help you heal your pain and have a more fulfilling life.
