Specializing in grief therapy in Winnipeg and beyond. If you are struggling with the pain of grief following the loss of a loved one (recent or past), the ending of a relationship, chronic illness, or a life changing transition then you have found the right place.
Grief often shows up in many of our life experiences, including the things we wish were better, different, or more. Grief isn't something we must get rid of, but rather something we learn to be with. Together we will find ways to soften the pain of grief so that no longer feels so heavy to carry.

Many people have already talked their stories through. The goal here isn’t to endlessly process - it’s to heal. We go beneath coping and analysis, carefully deconstruct what’s holding you in place and rebuild from the foundation up. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Q) supporting adults, couples, and adolescents through trauma, neurodivergence, self-esteem issues, trauma, life transitions, abuse, and attachment-based challenges. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices. Many of my clients have experienced therapy before but are ready for a deeper layer of healing. I provide a comforting space to heal while growing.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying more than you know how to hold on your own, you’re not alone. Many people come to therapy feeling worn down by anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, or a sense that something isn’t working. Reaching out can feel vulnerable, and it can also be the first step toward meaningful, lasting change. I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and explore what’s been weighing on you. My approach is collaborative and client-centred. We’ll work together to gain insight and move toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you.

In person and online sessions available. Our work has been informed by a number of different therapeutic models. In the last twenty years we have been dedicated to integrate Narrative Ideas and Social Justice models into our therapy practice. In those conversations that happen in our offices, people can reclaim their own preferred stories and re-define themselves by centering on stories that don't restrict their lives to the definition that the problem imposes on them. It's in the core of our work to believe that people that seeks for counselling come to it with a number of skills, beliefs, values, commitments and abilities.

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 to construct and design the rest of our lives. I want 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".

Human environments seem to be getting more challenging, complex and more conflicting for humanity. Everyone tends to be living in fear and doubts. Thus, realization of genuine goals look like a mirage culminating in frustrations, transference of frustrations, and breakdowns. At same time, society tends to be whipping us and make us think something is wrong with us. And we seem to be getting invisible in our world everyday. In the midst of these environmental dilemmas, there is a need to learn how not to be lost completely and with resilience realise our dreams in life.

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.

As a fellow human with ADHD, I know how overwhelming it can be to seek support (especially when you’ve spent years hoarding shame like abandoned hobbies). Just know, you don’t have to make sense of this alone, and you don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out.
You’ve probably heard every version of what ADHD is supposed to be: a disorder, a superpower, a lack of effort, a gift. When you’re deeply engaged in something you love, it’s hard to see it as a problem. But when everyday tasks like dishes or laundry feel overwhelming, it’s hard to see it as a strength.

Healthy relationships (including the one with ourselves) are necessary for humans to thrive. What characterizes a healthy relationship, and what influences our ability to participate in them is explored in therapy. Human beings crave attachment and connection but also engage in behaviors that can be hurtful and damaging. Therapy is about healing from the past, learning about boundaries and the process of repair, understanding patterns, self reflection, and working towards goals that are aligned with our values, desires, and needs. I am passionate about working with people of all walks of life who want to create meaningful change.

Sober from alcohol since 2011, I’m Amber, a compassionate addictions counselor and mental health professional dedicated to helping people create lasting change.

Many of my clients come to me for support with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or feeling overwhelmed and stuck in old patterns. As someone who has achieved and maintained sobriety, I understand firsthand how deeply personal the healing journey is. My own experience allows me to meet clients with empathy, understanding, and hope.

Facing major life changes and/or unresolved trauma can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed and disconnected. Whether you're adjusting to a new phase of life, dealing with loss, or healing from past challenging experiences, you're not alone.

You may be feeling disconnected from yourself or your relationships, searching for meaning and purpose. I’m here to offer support and help you understand what’s going on inside.
