As a passionate and dedicated psychotherapist specialized in working with individuals, families, children and teen, my journey in the field of mental health has been driven by the commitment to nurturing young minds and supporting them through their unique developmental challenges. My fascination with psychology began during my own adolescence when I faced personal challenges that really impacted my well-being. Through my struggles, I recognized the importance of having a supportive and understanding environment during this crucial stage of life.

You may be feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, or stress, especially when these challenges are intertwined with cultural or religious expectations. Perhaps you're navigating the pressure to meet certain societal or familial standards, and it's leaving you feeling uncertain or disconnected from yourself. What you’re looking for is a space where you can be truly heard, where your experiences, values, and beliefs are respected without judgment. You want to explore the impact of cultural or religious factors on your life, but you also want practical tools to help manage the stress or emotional overwhelm you’re feeling.

Feeling trapped by anxious or obsessive thoughts, consumed by negative self-talk, and having these thoughts interfere with your relationships can lead to a vicious cycle of shame and emotional pain. This is a cycle that I know. Through the lens of attachment theory, exploring attachment wounds and patterns becomes a powerful tool for developing secure and supportive relationships, both within ourselves and with others.

You are not selfish for wanting a break or comfort. I think the hardest thing about feeling depleted, alone, burnt out, and resentful is then you also end up feeling ashamed about these feelings. If you’re exhausted by anxiety, guilt, shame and have almost an allergic reaction towards anger, I get it. If you have been told that you’re too emotional or too sensitive, and felt like you needed to stuff down your emotions - only to have them leak out or explode, I understand. If you no longer want to “should” yourself, or be silenced by others, then let's talk. Therapy is one path towards being more true to who you are.

Sometimes emotions can be more then we can handle. They can take over our lives, and our relationships and make it hard to make choices that line up with the person we are. If you are struggling to set boundaries or thinking about ending relationships, or maybe your emotions are so intense that you are struggling with self-harm or thinking about suicide, there is lots we can work on together to help make change.

Hope changes everything, but sometimes life circumstances can make it difficult to find hope in the midst of what feels like overwhelming darkness. I offer a non-judgmental space to explore past and current issues that may be contributing to the feeling of hopelessness. I work with clients to help uncover the underlying issues that are driving problematic behaviours. Along with talk therapy I use mindful movement and creative interventions to allow clients a full range of expression, and a more holistic approach to healing and recovery. My approach is gentle, and client centred.

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.
