Our Therapists

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

--Brene Brown

I believe that we are the experts of our own stories, bodies and experiences and that all healing is relational. My approach is integrative and holistic, weaving together a tapestry of evidence- based approaches that honor the intricate interplay between healing individually, relationally and sexually. Together, we'll embark on an exploration of your inner landscape, illuminating your path towards self-discovery and emotional liberation.

Healing Individually
Embark on a journey of transformation with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), where we unravel the intricate connections between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Together, we'll challenge limiting beliefs and reshape negative patterns, unlocking your inner strengths and paving the path to your dream future. Experience the essence of Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), a beacon of hope in navigating life's challenges. Here, we pivot our focus from problems to solutions, harnessing your innate abilities and strengths to overcome obstacles with clarity and confidence. Explore the profound mind-body connection with somatic therapy, where emotional healing begins. Through body awareness, breathwork, and mindful movement, you'll release tension, trauma, and stress stored in your body, fostering greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and healing from past wounds. Dive deep into mindfulness practice, immersing yourself in the present moment with open arms. Through meditation, breathwork, and body scans, you'll cultivate inner calm and clarity while shedding the weight of stress and anxiety.

Healing Relationally
Picture a space where you and your partner dive deep into the heart of your relationship, exploring its twists and turns with a seasoned guide by your side. Together, you'll unravel the intricacies of your dynamic, unearth hidden patterns, and ignite new ways of communicating and connecting. Through honest conversations, skill-building exercises, and heartfelt exploration, you'll navigate challenges with grace and resilience. This isn't just about fixing what's broken—it's about forging a stronger, more vibrant bond that will leave you feeling more connected and fulfilled. My approach to relationship counseling embraces all identities and celebrates the diverse expressions of love and intimacy within the LGBTQIA2S+ community. With specialized training in the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Sex Therapy, I delve into the complexities of love and sexuality, honoring your unique relational and sexual journeys with compassion and understanding.

Healing Sexually
Sex therapy is a transformative journey toward a more fulfilling and satisfying sex life. Think of it as having a trusted ally guiding you through the complexities of intimacy and pleasure. With open dialogue, expert guidance, and actionable strategies, sex therapy empowers you to conquer challenges, improve communication, and embrace your true sexual self. Whether you're navigating performance issues, communication barriers, or seeking to add excitement, sex therapy offers a safe haven for exploration, healing, and growth. It's your pathway to unlocking a happier, healthier, and more gratifying sexual experience.

I hail from the vibrant city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, but my soul's journey transcends borders and spans cultures. Rooted in a lineage of shamanic wisdom, I've found solace and transformation through the healing embrace of medicinal plants, ancient practices, and world travel. Nature, meditation, music, and poetry are my sanctuaries, where I find solace and inspiration. But my true passion lies in the pursuit of knowledge and personal growth, as I strive to evolve into the most authentic, liberated version of self. In my journey, I am a seeker, a dreamer, and a relentless advocate for the power of genuine expression and heartfelt connection. As I continue to navigate the tapestry of existence, I am reminded that the greatest adventure of all is the journey inward, towards the depths of our own truth and the boundless potential of the human spirit.
