Emotionally Focused Therapists in Winnipeg, MB

Therapy invites us to approach and understand the challenges we are facing in a supportive and safe relationship, enabling us to respond differently than we have or could before. We all have experiences or relationships that are complex and add stress to our lives. We each have a choice: resign to living with a level of stress that is simply physically and emotionally unsustainable, or explore the origin to make a change.

Making your way to this website is an important step to improving your life. Choosing the right therapist is really about how well you are understood and guided to resolve what you came for. Since 1990 I've made my counselling different by not dividing people into issues or problems. You are you. What is happening in your life is unique. If you are still unsure about choosing the most effective therapist for you, go to our website and read for yourself the words of those who discovered how to make it happen in their own lives. Don't hesitate; this is the next step.

Welcome! I provide counselling for children, teens and adults. For children and teenagers, I can help in areas such as anxiety, body image, bullying, depression, family matters including divorce/separation, friendship issues, phobias and trauma. For adults, I help those who struggle with addiction, anxiety, conflict resolution, emotion regulation, mood disorders, relationships and trauma. I have almost 20 years of experience in working with children and teens, ranging from swim coaching, entertaining, classroom teaching, school counselling and clinical counselling. I started counselling adults in 2017 when I volunteered with Klinic.

Human beings are always searching for connections. Anything that hinders this need (or goal) will result to instability. Clients need someone to be with them as they ground themselves to accept defeat, find balance or peace.

I am a registered Psychologist Candidate (C. Psych Cand.) with the Psychological Association of MB. I work collaboratively with clients to regain balance in their lives using evidence-based treatments. Therapy can be used in many different ways: to process emotions and trauma, to increase mindfulness and understanding, to learn new skills to cope with challenges, as well as to gain perspective or advice. Some common presenting concerns I work with in therapy are neurodiversity (ADHD, ASD), anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, perfectionism, emotion regulation, sleep, parent coaching, trauma, mood + suicidality, among others.

I am honoured to walk with you on a path of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. Building a sense of connection, safety, and collaboration forms the basis for our therapeutic relationship. We might be a good fit if you're ready for self-exploration and to start living your life in alignment with your own values, or if you have a recent or single-event trauma that you'd like to process. My goal is to provide you with the opportunity to take time for yourself, to invest in your own wellbeing, and to give you room to breathe!

Struggling with difficult emotions can make it hard to engage in everyday life, often leading to feelings of hopelessness. Working with an experienced therapist to develop effective coping skills can help you to feel more in control by learning to manage these feelings and the thoughts that accompany them. With over 15 years of experience, I have a passion for working with teens and adults who are struggling with mood disorders, personality disorders and anxiety disorders. Focusing on emotional regulation and distress tolerance, we can work to develop skills that enable you participate in and enjoy life.

What I love to see in my clients are individuals willing to put in the work and allow their walls to be lowered so that we can explore their struggles, both in the present, as well as diving into the root cause of those struggles, from the past. It is always ideal when a client is at a point in their journey when they are ready for change, but unfortunately, clients often wait to seek help until they are desperate for change and in serious pain. Wherever you are at in journey, let's talk through it and see if we can help you to rise and move beyond your struggles, and regain your power.

As a client-centered Family Therapist/Counsellor, I have the privilege of working with families, relationships and individuals. I help find the strength to create life changes, by identifying current patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, while working toward increasing an overall sense of well-being. I believe that a strong, trusting, and comfortable therapeutic relationship coupled with a compassionate and respectful approach fosters a safe environment. It is here that difficult topics and the sense of being "stuck" can be discussed and explored, until new/different ways for sustainable change can be found and implemented.

There are times when we may develop thoughts and feelings about ourselves that are no longer useful, that disconnect us from who we really are and from the important people around us.
