Through her work at Wellness Through Connection, she aims to empower individuals to prioritize their mental health and cultivate inner peace and resilience. She is dedicated to supporting individuals who are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, stress, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

She believes in tailoring her approach to meet her client’s unique needs and goals, drawing from modalities such as Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy and culturally sensitive approaches while incorporating techniques from Adlerian and Psychodynamic approaches.

When she is not offering care to individuals, Gabby enjoys spending time with her partner, family, and their two dogs, exploring different cities, and being active with friends such as engaging in activities such as boxing, spin, and boot camp classes.

Gabby is excited to start her practicum at Wellness Through Connection this September.

Being human can be really hard and your desire for connection and balance is worthwhile.

In therapy, we can co-create an atmosphere that is receptive, safe for you to share, facilitates growth and helps you make sense of what currently doesn’t.

Areas of exploration can include (but are not limited to): tools for emotional regulation, stabilization and recovery. How unmet expectations you have of yourself, of others, or from others may be impacting you. How to effectively work with guilt, grief and shame. How to acknowledge the voice of your inner critic. How to manage work related stress and how to maintain healthy relationships through connection to self and community care.

Investing your time, energy and money into your health and wellness is a big decision. My hope is that you will experience good rapport with your therapist, tailored interventions that fit and a clear plan to achieve your goals.

I have been practicing as a Registered Social Worker since 2015 and have over a decade of professional experience assisting individuals navigate challenge. I am committed to infusing evidenced- based practice with the strengths I bring to the table.

I invite you to reach out and I would be happy to connect. Take care and thank you for stopping by!

Counselling Psychology Masters Student from Yorkville University.

Hey there, I’m Sidney!

I’m currently completing my master’s degree in counselling psychology from Yorkville University. I have the privilege of working with and learning from the talented folks at Wellness Through Connection as a practicum student.

I was born on Treaty 5 territory in The Pas Manitoba on an air ambulance! Since, I have spent time in Saskatchewan (Treaty 4), and southern Manitoba (Treaty 1). My mom comes from a fairly Mennonite background while my dad is a mix of Métis and Black, making me a combination of all of the above! Growing up, I lived in predominantly white communities for most of my life, so I was definitely always ‘different’. Now, the communities I grew up in have diversified immensely and are now home for many different cultural groups.

I approach therapy through a trauma- informed lens, prioritizing connection and community. I integrate various therapeutic modalities including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), person-centred therapy, and solution-focused approaches.

I have a particular interest in anxiety, depression, life transitions, and stress management.

Outside of work, you can find me reading, finding a new breakfast/coffee spot, or hanging with my pup, Scottie.

I’m so excited to connect with individuals who are ready to begin their journey of growth, healing, and self-discovery.
