Hoarding Therapists in Winnipeg, MB
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.

The stories we tell ourselves influence how we perform in relationships, view ourselves, & make sense of our worldly experiences. I use a narrative approach, which is effective in helping process topics such as: trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, depression, & family of origin challenges, amongst others. My experiences have provided me with an in-depth understanding of how social justice issues like: racism, gender discrimination, sexual orientation, ability & such impact us.

We all want to live with meaning and purpose—to be authentic, compassionate, accepting, patient, and forgiving with ourselves and the people in our lives.

In other words, we feel stuck… As a therapist, I offer helpful options to getting unstuck. Together we will begin to explore and understand what has contributed to these blocks, as well as uncovering and applying strengths, resources, and skills towards a solution.

I consider it a privilege to work with people who want to make positive changes in their lives and relationships. It's natural to seek help when struggling with low mood, unhealthy habits or difficulties getting along with the people around us. Individuals might want to focus on coming to terms with unexpected change or dealing with past trauma. Couples sometimes need help communicating or understanding their relationship dynamics. These are all issues that can be dealt with in a therapeutic setting.

My job is not to “walk along side you”, my job is to help you dissect, uncover, explore emotions, feel your feelings & discover narratives you’ve attached to them. I do this with you by using modalities such as Emotion Focused therapy with Attachment theory & Narrative therapy. In addition to talk therapy the Somatic experience (somatic nervous system) is just as important. I hold space for your somatic experience and in turn, you learn that it’s safe to hold space for your own somatic experience, too.

Seeking therapy is a sign of a personal strength, not a weakness. It takes awareness in our lives and courage to be able to reach out for help. Often people who engage in therapy are actually doing well in life but would like to do better in one area or another. I believe that the client is the expert on them and it is my role to support them to reach the goals that they set. Now excepting virtual clients in British Columbia.

Perhaps thoughts, memories, or feelings about a painful event make it difficult for you to experience satisfaction in your marriage or family or to excel in roles such as parenting or socializing, or cause you to do things you do not like. Perhaps a personal, relationship or vocational situation is causing you distress, or mental health condition such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or addiction makes it difficult for you to pursue your aspirations. Or, perhaps, concerns about managing a situation, the outcome of significant events, or achieving meaningful goals make it difficult for you to fulfill important roles.

What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.
How long does therapy for hoarding take?
Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.
Are there medications for hoarding?
The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.
Can hoarding come back after treatment?
Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
