Navigating loss, feeling anxious or frustrated with life, or difficulties in relationships can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do. For most of us, we’re not familiar with how to deal with hard feelings. So we adapt as best we can, and develop strategies to cope. Sometimes these strategies begin to interfere with our lives, and may even make us feel worse. The good news is, therapy can help you with this. By being curious about your experiences, and listening intently, we can begin to learn what your needs are and find supportive ways to deal with the hard stuff, and move you towards feeling better & less alone.

I believe in an integrated, person-centered approach as I recognize that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all and must be tailored to the specific needs of the individual. I encourage the development of trust, collaboration, and respect through a non-judgmental and down to earth approach, meeting you where you are at, to create a safe and inclusive environment. Trauma can create a profound impact on an individuals mind, body and relationships, but with the right support, I firmly believe that it is possible to grow and heal from trauma, no matter how long ago the trauma may have occurred.

Hello and welcome. I have been working in this field for over 18 years. My focus is on helping clients build healthy, secure relationship attachments, so they can feel happier and more closely connected to the important people in their lives. As we grow and change, we sometimes move in different life directions, or our interests may change, we may increasingly disagree, or have different opinions, when before, we mostly agreed. The next thing we know, it feels like we are growing apart and becoming more disconnected. It can be emotionally upsetting and worrisome to find ourself feeling alone, and distant.

New Clients Welcomed! As Dr. Sue Johnson stated, “We are wired for connection” and meant to be dependent upon others. When our relationships experience stress, we feel disconnected, misunderstood, alone, fearful and in pain. Emotional pain, stress, shame, anxiety, anger, trauma and sadness impact all of us. I have come to deeply understand this throughout my 30+ year career listening to and empowering individuals, couples, parents and families in their healing, as well as, via my own personal journey in a life full of loves and losses.

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.
