Indigenous Peoples Therapists in Winnipeg, MB
My practice focuses on working with Indigenous Peoples who are experiencing intergenerational trauma and impacts from colonization. These include Residential/Day Schools, 60's Scoop, MMIWG2S, being involved with the criminal justice system, CFS, gang involvement, racism, self-harm, suicide, behavioural issues, & loss & grief. Perhaps you are tired or feeling some kind of way about how life is happening for you & you want to make changes. Perhaps you want to learn about or reconnect to your Indigenous identity & learn to balance your four parts: physical, mental, spiritual, & emotional.

Do you want a therapist that understands the importance of how culture is integral to the healing process? As an Indigenous expressive arts therapist, I believe that traditional Indigenous knowledge is as vital as Western therapeutic approaches when combined respectfully, allowing people to be at the center of their healing. Among the services provided are one-on-one therapy as well as access to wholistic wellness workers (action therapy), which provides wrap-around approaches to therapy that address the unique needs of youth through integrative healing models that emphasize the importance of positive and supportive relationships.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Has parenting become more of a burden than a joy? Is there not enough time in the day? Are you feeling disconnected from the people you love most? Have behavioural problems become more than you can deal with? Have you run out of ideas on what to do next? You are not alone. In a perfect world we find peace and comfort in our lives and relationships. If this has stopped happening for you let me help you get it back. I have been in the helping field for over 15 years and as a wife and mother I know the challenges that life can bring.

Hi, I'm a registered social worker and my practice draws upon various approaches to find a fit that works for you. I work in a way that respects your individuality, where you come from, your inherent skills and value. I aim to help people live joyful, fulfilling lives despite the challenges they may have experienced. I am a certified Brainspotting practitioner, which is a powerful approach that can be used with very little talking if someone prefers not to talk much. Brainspotting is similar to EMDR, but more person-centered, and can quickly and effectively result in change for a variety of emotionally and bodily based conditions.

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.
