LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Winnipeg, MB
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.

My area of focus is EMDR with folks with complex trauma, relational challenges, life transitions, chronic illness and LGBTQIA identity and joy
My priority is creating a safe space for individuals to explore life's heaviness.

I'm passionate about working with LGBTQIA2S+ adults, people navigating the lasting impact of trauma, chronic health conditions, difficult relationships, identity exploration, or major life transitions. I work with people with diverse identities and relational structures.

I work with individuals, couples, and families seeking support through life's challenges.

Drawing on over 20 years of experience, including work in acute psychiatric settings, I provide a compassionate, collaborative approach tailored to each person's unique needs. Together, we work to understand the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen relationships, process difficult experiences, and move toward healing.

Say it aloud: I am calm, confident, and I have choices.
And yet, if the loud, all-consuming voice in your head keeps repeating “not enough,” even as you manage career, family, and social expectations, you may find yourself coping in ways that don’t feel like you.
You’re not being dramatic. That’s your inner critic. While it once tried to help, it’s now fueling impulsivity, self-doubt, and overwhelm.

My great-grandmother once said to me, "The only person you're guaranteed to fall asleep with and wake up to every day is yourself, so you might as well make that a good relationship". The trust and respect we build within and between ourselves become the foundation for designing the rest of our lives. I'd like to genuinely connect with you and help you do the same with yourself and others - especially if you’re ready to make gentle, meaningful shifts toward the life you want. Warning: The genuineness may include a sense of humour and playfulness when appropriate, because I don't believe therapy necessarily has to be "hard".
