Therapists in Winnipeg, MB
My ideal clients are folks who seek (holistic) spiritual, thoughtful, emotional and embodied approaches to healing and well-being. I offer a deeply humanistic perspective cultivated from my own experiences in ancestral, family, community and global systems that both made me the person I am and caused me the pain that spurs me to heal myself while offering help to others. Clients can expect to move with me through a careful process of discovery and an invitation towards self-determination and empowerment.

The stories we tell ourselves influence how we perform in relationships, view our selves & 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.

With over 20 years of experience, I work with adults navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, stress, burnout, and the struggles that show up in relationships and life transitions. I have advanced training and experience working with human complexity, including people living with BPD and complex trauma. These experiences don't stay in the past. They shape how you see yourself, relate to others, and move through the world. I offer a space where we slow down, look beneath the surface, and work toward something more than symptom relief. You are not confined to a diagnosis. Change is possible.

Therapy is an opportunity to look at self and understand more about your life. At times, we encounter things that feel overwhelming or unbearable and therapy allows you to have the opportunity to have someone to support you in this struggle. My belief is that the therapeutic relationship allows a person to move through these times with more ease by having someone at your side to face these difficulties.

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.

Life can feel overwhelming during times of change, stress, or uncertainty. Perhaps you or someone you know may be navigating a life transition, managing ongoing pressure, or feeling disconnected from yourself, even when things appear to be going well on the outside. Often, the goal of seeking support is not to “fix” something, but to gain clarity, feel less stuck, and build the capacity to move forward with greater resilience, balance, and intention. Many people seek support to reconnect with hope, experience more joy, and live in a way that feels aligned with their values, even when those values are still being discovered.
