I work with adult individuals, couples, children and youth, and families at every stage of life. Times of transition, new challenges, work or school stress, financial concerns, loss, health issues, and just the everyday ups and downs of life can all contribute to temporary or long periods of difficulties in coping. Sitting with someone who is compassionate and present, can be helpful and supportive in knowing that you are not alone. My formal and additional training helps me bring many perspectives to the table as we travel together to find ways to work through issues which are located in the past or present.

We all deserve to feel heard and understood, but when life gets messy our relationships can get complicated leaving us feeling anxious, uncertain, or overwhelmed. I work with couples who are struggling to feel connected, or aren’t understanding one another. I help parents feel like they understand their child’s emotional needs and how to support them while also supporting themselves in the work of being a parent. I help individuals work through stress, anxiety, loss and trauma to feel aligned with their values and goals. I work to help you feel heard, understood and supported by me, and the people in your life.

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.
