LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Winnipeg, MB
I work with individuals and couples facing anxiety, panic, ADHD, depression, grief, stress, identity, life transitions and LGBTQ+ challenges, drawing from both clinical training and my own lived experience.
Do you want to feel more like you: calmer, clearer, more grounded, but you’re not sure where to start? Therapy with me is a space to pause, be fully seen without judgment, and gently reconnect with who you are underneath the overwhelm. You’re not alone, and change is possible.

As a queer and neurodivergent person and anti-oppressive therapist, I feel especially lucky when I get to work with clients who exist outside the norm.
Have you been feeling stuck in the same painful patterns in your relationships with yourself and others? When you hear the term “self-love” does part of you cringe? Does another part of you wonder what liking yourself more might feel like?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, I just might be the therapist for you.

Whatever has brought you to this point has taken a toll. Life feels overwhelming, especially while others are leaning on you. Family issues, personal burdens, and troubles in the outside world pile up. It feels like too much. You’re feeling alone, and you’re not sure how you’re going to make it through. You're looking for rest and support, for resolution, and for a different way of managing everything.

A lot of the folx I see are also a part of the neurodivergent and queer communities.
Hi, I'm Catherine, welcome, bienvenue! Therapy can be a bit scary at first when we're first starting out, or even if we're coming back to explore more of ourselves. If you're looking for someone willing to listen without judgement and is willing to work with you based off your individual needs, we might be good fit! I am a part of the 2SLGBTQI+ community, fluent in French, and I have experience dealing with chronic pain and neurodivergence. It is important for my clients to feel safe, accepted, welcome, and understood. I provide therapy for individuals, couples and families.

I am a cisgender lesbian and I specialize in working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, particularly gender-questioning and transgender young people.

Childhood trauma, anxiety/depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, shame, vulnerability and self-compassion are my other areas of clinical work.

Reaching for help is a brave step. Whatever has brought you to this point, has likely taken a toll. Life stresses build up. Unresolved conflicts and traumas keep showing up and cause recurring issues. You notice patterns: the same argument, or same worry, the same relationship dynamics. Previous efforts to fix the problem have only brought temporary relief. You are tired of feeling this way, of fighting, of feeling alone... You want someone to help you get to the root of the issue and bring some lasting change and resolution. It's my honor to walk alongside you.

My intention in therapy is to keep it meaningful and simple; that each person walks away with something practical that can be used right away to ameliorate suffering for yourself and in your relationships. Being a creative person, there is rarely a session without some incorporation of art, play, or experiential technique. I aim to be a facilitator of healing, facilitator meaning “to make easy”. What better way to make something easy then through fun and creativity? Prior to licensing as a therapist I worked in leadership. I have a passion for burnout prevention, compassion fatigue, and the working wounded.
