Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists in Manitoba

Appointments available on evenings and weekends, individual sessions (child and adolescent, adults) and groups. Do you feel overwhelmed and stressed with parenting? Is your child having difficulty with big feelings, meltdowns or behaviour difficulties? Coming to therapy can help you understand what is underneath behaviour and how to support your child. Each family is unique and we will work together to decide on the plan to meet your needs and concerns. Situations can range from navigating developmental stages and life changes, to a child receiving and living with a mental health diagnosis.

Do you struggle with overwhelming worries and concerns that affect your day-to-day life? Do you feel exhausted by the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel ? Do you hope that things could be better and easier? Are you trying to figure out what a recent diagnosis REALLY means? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious and uncertain about finding their place in life, making meaningful connections with others, and understanding themselves. Mental wellness is possible. I believe there is hope and answers.

Finding the right counsellor can be an intimidating process. Congrats on taking that first step! My practice is guided by trauma-informed, social justice-informed, culturally sensitive, and feminist perspectives. Regardless of the reason you are seeking therapy, I am willing to listen, support, and help you on your healing journey.

Depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and finding ways to claim ownership over our mental and psychological health can find a home in a therapeutic relationship. I am interested in helping people navigate the many issues life presents, so that they might find their way towards good mental health and an improved sense of well-being. Taking a strengths-based approach, together we can explore new perspectives to address life’s bigger questions and challenges. I believe we each have a unique way towards healing, and that we all deserve good mental health.

* I am accepting new clients. * If you’re struggling with relationships, mental illness like depression or anxiety, or you’ve experienced a traumatic event - I can help you uncover your strengths and learn new skills that will support you to deal with everyday challenges and help you to live a meaningful life with harmony.

It is a brave and vulnerable act to reach out for therapy and to explore your lived experiences. Our minds sort and use the most impactful of these experiences and manifest themselves in all aspects of our lives. These become habitual thought patterns and ways of being which establish roots and grow, many of which are nourishing and serve us well, where others have taken hold in ways that bind us in patterns that create suffering for ourselves and in our relationships. Your willingness and energies can create healthy, mindful and intentional ways of being so that you become the author of your lived experiences.

I aspire to create an environment in which you, the client, feels safe to explore your inner experience for insight, self-awareness, and self-acceptance. I believe that it is important to discover the root causes for the issues you are experiencing as well as developing tools for ongoing resilience and self-empowerment. Each person is unique and I desire to create a compassionate presence in which you, the client, feels heard and seen.

I am accepting new clients. Are you feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, struggling to cope with stressors in your life? Are you feeling stuck, unhappy with your relationships? Worried about being a good parent? We all experience difficulties and unexpected challenges in life's journey. You do not have to face it alone. Sometimes we need support to regain our strength. I can help. In therapy, I will walk alongside you, as we work together on your unique challenges to empower you to rediscover your resilience, strength and hope.

We are all worthy of living life as our best selves, in spite of difficulties. I work with individuals, couples and families respectfully and collaboratively. I facilitate a safe space to do the work in the most effective and thorough way, creating movement and change that clients are looking for.

Being stuck can be an uncomfortable feeling. Life transitions can be difficult to surpass and sometimes, our big emotions can become out of hands. Therapy is about change and dealing with the discomforts. With you, I want to learn your definition of wellbeing and achieving your goals. It takes courage to start a healing journey and I believe in creating a collaborative, supportive and safe theraputic alliance with you. My hope is to assisst you in being your authentic self and overcoming obstacles with your inner strenghts.

Clients that have benefited the most from my work over the past 30 years, are people who have difficulties with stress, depression, anxiety and symptoms of trauma. People often need a safe, supportive environment to explore their sources of pain and my approach to working with people inspires courage and connection to one's inner wisdom, confidence and creativity. I work with individuals, couples and adult families, and my observation is that people want to be heard, understood and validated in their relationships, families and workplaces. I love to engage clients in discussions that encourage self awareness and and assertiveness.

Welcome! If you're looking for couples therapy or individual counselling - my goal is to offer you a safe space where you feel seen, understood, and supported as you journey through the highs and lows of life. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, facing the impact of trauma, going through relationship challenges, or having emotional difficulties - you deserve to heal in a trusted environment. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and I have a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology from Trinity Western University.

Welcome here! I believe we all have the capacity for change and the ability to decide what kind of person we want to become.

I work with adults, children, teens and families. I believe that a therapeutic relationship is a partnership where both you and I bring strengths to the table to overcome challenges that are getting in the way of living the life you want to live. All people have the capacity to heal, and the problems that bring you to therapy do not have to define who you are. I will support you in becoming the person you want to be, whether that be by healing from past trauma or by dealing with current issues that may be getting in your way.

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.

Life can be difficult and overwhelming even at the best of times. Reaching out for support can help bring clarity and meaning to your situation and provide you with the support you need during these times. I want you to live the satisfying and meaningful life you deserve free from guilt, shame, anxiety and depression. I view treatment holistically and through a trauma-informed lens. I use a strength based approach so that you understand you are valuable and have unique gifts and abilities to share with the world.

Struggling with conceiving or postpartum, and managing with the stress of managing all that comes with that - you are not alone.
