Dr. Winter is a clinical psychologist with a background in treatment, assessment, and research.  She has extensive experience in diagnostic formulation, risk assessment, and recommendations for evidence based treatment and supervision. 

Areas of practice and expertise in therapy include anxiety related disorders, self-regulation and managing overwhelm, assertive communication and insight oriented approaches to gain a deeper understanding of self and relationships.

She completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Experimental Psychology from California State University Northridge. She completed a PhD in Clinical Psychology with a Forensic Specialization from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia.

She is mixed race & cis-gendered. While there are many reasons a mental health professional is encouraged to limit the personal information they share with their patients, she is culturally competent in the areas of practice offered here. You are enthusiastically encouraged to ask about these practices and why boundaries around a clinician’s personal and especially diagnostic information is shared in limited circumstances for ethical reasons and the benefit of the patients served. 

This is a non-judgmental clinic. Everyone Dr. Winter is trained to serve will be welcomed here!

She is available for training and consultation related to diagnostic clarification, risk assessment and treatment planning on request.
