Attachment-based Therapists in Manitoba

Navigating transitions in our life can be challenging. Facing uncertainty may bring forward feelings of overwhelm, stress and vulnerability. You may be feeling disconnected from yourself or your relationships, searching for meaning and purpose. I specialize in guiding individuals through these changes to facilitate personal growth. Whether you're facing new circumstances, loss, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I provide a compassionate space to explore, process and heal.

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.

I am a certified psychotherapist with 15 years of experience working with trauma, any mental health struggles and addictions. I believe that humans are more resilient than they think and that it is important to stop suffering as we are here to thrive not to survive. If you have been encouraged to go to therapy and work on your issues, I will be encouraging you to go and live your life. It takes courage to live. Life is therapeutic. Meaningful life consists of all the emotions, and in my practice we find ways to work through them so they are no longer the barriers for you living your life to the fullest.

I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults (65+) who may be going through difficult life transitions, dealing with grief, loss, loneliness, depression, anxiety, burnout, overwhelm or feelings of isolation. I have extensive experience working with individuals living with physical, developmental, and cognitive disabilities including dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease. I provide a welcoming and empowering environment for my clients, where they can address life’s challenges, reduce stress, and discover inspiration in their lives.

Welcome. If you are feeling anxious, depressed, experiencing the aftereffects of childhood trauma and neglect or dealing with relationship issues, counseling is a positive step. If you are considering how to improve your life, I would love to help you navigate your journey. Together we can access treatments and techniques that will help you feel better and more able to deal with life’s ups and downs.

Life is short and then one day you wake up and realize years have gone past with very little change in your life. The struggle is real and can keep you stuck, disconnected, lost, or holding onto fears (disguised in many ways) for a very long time! Working together we will begin by healing your past and embracing your future. We will shift to find new perspectives, understanding past patterns, and being curious about your relationships (current and past). We also work together to shift from confusion to clarity, from self-loath to self-respect, from lack to abundance. We find tools to clearly focus on Re-building your new life.

You've been considering therapy, but aren't so sure it can really help you. Or maybe you've tried therapy before, and you've talked your way around your issues more times than you can count with little relief. The intensity of emotions has been all consuming. Feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, fear are derailing daily life, and being able to show up any other way feels hopeless. You are yearning for change, ready to try something different to help you really move through those past experiences and change those trauma patterns. Whether you are wanting support for yourself or your child, I can help.

I believe connections are the most important part of the human experience. Connections with the self, with others, with nature – all connections are crucial to wellness. It is from this perspective that I approach therapeutic practice. Influenced by attachment theory and postmodern approaches, I work primarily with collaborative and solution-focused methodologies.

I have found in my professional and personal life that having meaningful conversations with others helps us understand, inspire, and grow as individuals, and in relationships with others.
