It’s about untangling the knots of old patterns and stepping into new ways of being. Imagine a journey inward, where you compassionately attend to yourself and reshape how you interact with yourself, others and the world.
Here's the thing about change - it is normal to want to resist change - it can feel uncomfortable and brings uncertainty into our lives. Change requires you to try new things, to challenge your beliefs, and to be vulnerable. But within that discomfort lies the seeds for growth- waiting to be nurtured and cultivated.
«Think holistic, and human-centered. There is no one size fits all approach to healing. »
After two decades of being a therapist, I have discovered that many people don't fit a specific medicalized or standard approach to therapy. I embrace an eclectic approach that honours the uniqueness and complexity of human beings within a trauma informed framework. I often interweave other modalities into therapy sessions where it seems to make sense.
I have received intensive training and experience in multiple therapy modalities such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Attachment Based Therapy, Mindfulness and trauma informed modalities such as (such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy, somatic psychology and parts work), etc.
I hold a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work (clinical stream) degree from the University of Manitoba. I am a regulated professional with the Manitoba College of Registered Social Worker's (RSW).
My goal is to provide a non-judgemental and safe space fostering wellbeing, and healing. Not “fixing” or applying a universal approach, but rather bridging the gap between the mind and body in your journey,

Therapy can provide you with an opportunity of self-discovery that goes beyond the surface. You can develop insights into your conscious and unconscious patterns, and behaviours cultivating a deeper self-awareness
Coping skills are internal resources that can provide you with a sense of direction to navigate life's twists and turns. Coping skills can extend below the cognitive surface level, and incorporate ways to be with yourself, your emotions and others.
I take a non-judgemental approach in the aim of providing you with a space where you feel psychologically and emotionally safe to share your vulnerabilities.
«I try to understand the internal battles you face.»
