LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Winnipeg, MB
You never imagined your path to parenthood would feel like this. Whether you're facing infertility, grieving a pregnancy loss, navigating complex medical treatment or even parenting with postpartum anxiety or depression, you may feel deeply alone, left behind or just different than others. You want a space where you don't need to explain the medical jargon, where you don't feel judged or dismissed. As an experienced therapist I help people move through all stages of family building by offering a soft place to land; we build tools to cope, heal trauma stories, hold space for grief. You can move forward- wherever your journey leads.

Life is full of obstacles and challenges. Sometimes we feel stuck in how to move forward. In counselling, you and I can explore how to feel unstuck in order to move forward. I work with issues that stem from anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, self esteem, depression, imposter syndrome. We can work on goals that range from how to expand on your coping skills, to explore what is working, what isn't and reasons behind that. We can work on ways on how you can grow in your self awareness in order to live a richer and healthier life.

Often in life we're forced to adapt to situations that are hard on us. We try strategies like people-pleasing or emotional distancing to make it through, but eventually it leaves us with painful feelings and patterns that keep us from making the connections we deeply want.
I see youth and adults who are wanting to see change, feel seen, and enjoy meaningful relationships. Together we may work through issues such as anxiety, internal conflict, boundary setting, identity development, trauma, spirituality, and family dynamics.

Accepting new clients, both virtual and in-person. I work with both adults and adolescents in my therapy practice. Working with people has always been one of my passions as well as one of my gifts and responsibilities as an Indigenous man who seeks to walk and live Mino-Pimatisiwin (the good life). I work with people with the humility and realization that we are all responsible for our own healing and growth.

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".

Are you a driven young adult in Winnipeg who looks successful on the outside, but feels anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck underneath it all? Do you struggle to find your place in the world or wonder what life is about? I work with motivated teens and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, perfectionism, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are students, athletes, and young professionals who feel burnt out from trying to keep up while quietly struggling with focus, emotional regulation, or self-doubt.
