What this looks like in my therapeutic work is exploring how your experience of your family functioning and its surrounding social context shapes how you relate to yourself, others and how you make sense of the world. As well as exploring how your network of relationships shape your sense of belonging and identity.

I’m passionate about working with families to build and strengthen secure attachments. I want to support parenting people (anyone involved in caregiving to a child/youth) as they navigate family relationships, peer friendships, boundaries, school anxiety and technology use. 

I have 14 years of experience in Winnipeg's North End supporting community members and their families. I created programming for children and youth, advocated for system-involved folks, facilitated Circle of Security Parenting groups, and co-facilitated equine-assisted parenting self-regulation groups.  

It’s important that we feel we belong and feel heard in our herd.

I have had the unique opportunity to work as a co-therapist with Canada's sole AHCB Hippotherapist and provide equine-assisted mental health services. My collaborative experiences with horses inspired the name, Herd Relational Therapy.

In my therapeutic work meaningful relationships and trust are developed through talk, play, body awareness and creative activities. My therapeutic approach is informed by a variety of family systems therapies (Experiential Family Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Emotionally Focused Therapy), Circle of Security of Parenting and trauma-informed practices. We will work collaboratively towards the changes you would like to make.

I offer in-person therapy sessions Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
