Are you unhappy in your relationship? Clients often share fears of changing the status quo, finances, and kids without knowing the relationship can improve. We fall in love and create a vision of our ideal relationship, but how do we grow together to create it? I’m here to help you get to the next level of your relationship. When complaints turn to criticism, and you’re stuck in a detrimental pattern, it's hard to see how your relationship can improve.

My notion is based on the idea that when humans awaken to self-realization that we cannot control what happens to us in life, but we can control what we feel and how we will respond; then suffering is only a choice. My counselling style will help clients work towards developing control of their mental afflictions through a series of steps. I believe in building a solid foundational knowledge of the mind-body connection, strengthening self-awareness first, and then building upwards. What matters is my clients' current state of being.

Let me pour you a cup of warm tea or coffee, while we sit & talk. Therapy doesn’t have to be a daunting, scary or uncomfortable process. Together, we'll sit & look at your past experiences, how they're affecting you today & what you can do to move towards a life where you feel more fulfilment & happiness, while bringing calm & peace in the process. We aren't meant to surrender to conflict ridden relationships, or to live a life where our grief or past traumas keep us from from truly living or feeling alone. Relationships with our parents, partners, family, friends or coworkers don't have to leave us frustrated & doubting ourselves.

You’re trying hard to keep it all together, but you’re exhausted. Life seems out of your control and every small decision feels too big to handle. You are unsure of who you are or where you belong.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
