My Story

Hi! My name is Gail and I'm so happy that you found your way here.

 

For the entirety of my career, I have focused on supporting people. This is my life’s work and passion. I work with clients to help them build the skills to live each day from a place of courage, connection, and compassion.

​

I have more than 20+ years of extensive experience working therapeutically with clients in a variety of settings including mental health, employee assistance, and the public school system. I have also been an Instructor with the Faculty of Social Work and the Faculty of Education at the University of Manitoba. 

​

I have provided counselling services to a wide array of clients struggling with occupational stress, relationship conflicts, grief and loss, as well as emotional and behavioural concerns. My area of focus has been on helping clients understand anxiety and traumatic stress and assisting them with developing their strategies for coping using cognitive behavioural therapy.

​

I am a registered social worker with the Manitoba College of Social Work and obtained my Masters in Clinical Social Work and my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at the University of Manitoba.

AS A THERAPIST, I TRULY BELIEVE...

  • It takes courage to ask for and accept help.

  • We can do hard things and we can be stronger for it.

  • Small steps in the right direction adds up to big change.

  • We can stop feeling shame when we share our story with someone who can hear it with empathy and understanding.

  • There is no greater reward than seeing a client excited and hopeful about their future.

My Mission

You Got This! Support Services strives to provide a safe therapeutic space for individuals to go on their journey of becoming their best selves.
