Child Therapists in Winnipeg, MB
Children have insight into who they are and who they want to become.
Children are introspective, they have valuable insight and ideas around their strengths, challenges and goals. Children can be collaborative partners in the counselling journey. Encouraging children to use their voice and insight empowers and inspires them for growth and change. I have worked with children aged 3-19 on various issues including abuse, neglect, trauma, family reunification, grief and loss, separation and divorce, self-harm, anxiety, depression, challenging behaviours, screen time, self esteem, self confidence and identity. Each child is unique and deserves a collaboratively established personalized counselling plan.

With over 15 years of dedicated experience in supporting children and families, I have honed my expertise in utilizing play therapy to enhance emotional regulation and bolster self-esteem among young individuals. My approach empowers parents by deepening their understanding of their children's needs and uncovering their potential. Moreover, as a certified Trauma Recovery Model Practitioner with specialized training in EMDR Therapy and Somatic Experiencing, I am adept at facilitating the healing process for both children and adults grappling with traumatic experiences.

I am committed to standing beside individuals, couples, children and families to help them to live the lives they want to live, and to be the people they want to be.
Sometimes problems feel so big it seems almost like that's all there is in your life. My job is to help you reclaim your life from those problems, to be able to make the choices YOU want to make about your life, rather than feeling like you have to accept the choices it feels like your problems are making for you.
I want to help you live the life YOU want to see for yourself - to live according to what matters to YOU. YOUR values and beliefs, YOUR chosen purposes in life, YOUR dreams.

Accepting new clients - Are you or your child struggling and not knowing the path forward? Experiencing challenges is normal, but can be overwhelming. You do not have to do it alone! Often, having someone truly listen and assist us in unpacking our difficulties is what is needed to heal and move forward in the way we want to live. I believe healing happens best in a space where you feel valued, understood, and empowered with zero judgement. My approach is based on a few key aspects: relationships matter, a non-judgemental environment, a holistic and client-centred approach, cultural safety, and narrative/trauma-informed care.
