My vision was to create a therapeutic clinic that feels like a home - a place you can kick up your feet, relax, and feel safe. We have created an amazing therapy team that is dedicated to supporting our community members.
I am currently not taking clients for individual therapy but will be offering group therapy services in the future.
At Peace of Mind Therapy and Consultation my time is split between providing supervision to therapists, consultation services for trained EMDR therapists, psycho-educational assessments, and group and individual therapy. I provide supervision to Ph.D Students, Psychology Interns, as well as Clinical Psychology Candidates and Psychological Associate Candidates who are working toward registration with the Psychological Association of Manitoba. I am an avid learner and continue to expand my knowledge base to provide quality services in both therapy and supervision.
EMDR consultation services are provided to therapists who are trained in EMDR Therapy. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDR Consultant, and EMDR Trainer.
My training in a variety of evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, somatic therapies, and play therapies allow me to be flexible in meeting your needs whether you are a child, teen, or adult. I am able to adapt to the needs of individuals and families to support them in their journey to discovering peace of mind. Abby, a golden retriever service dog, assists with therapy. Abby loves to greet people in the waiting room and puts a smile on the faces of those she meets.
Equine-Assisted Therapy
Equine Assisted Group and Individual Therapy is offered in collaboration with EAGALA certified staff at Symatree Farm. We have a fabulous team dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults reach their goals.
Individual equine therapy is not currently offered.
Groups are offered in spring and summer
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is a powerful, holistic and effective approach to healing, where horses are an integral part of the therapy team. As herd animals, horses are experts in the art of life skills, and working with them leads us to a deeper understanding of ourselves. As prey animals, horses are very sensitive to non-verbal cues so they provide us with immediate feedback, mirroring our experience, feelings, and behaviours.
Through activities and interactions with the horses, clients become more aware of what’s going on inside themselves – they begin to see the self-limiting or unhealthy patterns that can block success. With this enhanced self-awareness, the door is open for clearer processing of feelings, behaviour, and relationship issues. Through working with the horses we learn what is going on within ourselves. It is amazing what can happen when you connect with a horse!
Equine work is often used as an adjunct therapy for people who have experienced trauma (including PTSD), substance abuse, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, relationship and communication problems, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Symatree Farm also offers Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) programs, which focus on educational and life skills goals.
