What is my approach to helping? Just as the body requires nurturing and attention to keep it healthy, the mind also requires maintenance and consideration around how it can be used to create the life circumstances that you desire. I work with individuals and couples that have interest in gaining increased awareness about their ways of being in their lives in order to bring about alternative outcomes. I am a platform for clients to discuss concerns, clarify what would be helpful and strengthen resolve and understanding of personal resources to make a desired change in their lives.

Life transitions and new beginnings can be both exciting and overwhelming. Perhaps you are starting at a new school or job, beginning a new relationship, surviving a loss, or experiencing a major life event such as transitioning to university, becoming a parent, or working with a new diagnosis. Life transitions can cause a range of emotions – we can feel intensely vulnerable, anxious, low and depressed, and fearful. Sometimes we feel stuck, alone, and unsure how to cope with difficult thoughts and feelings. I am here to provide support, insight, and strategies to help adolescents (12+) and young adults navigate life’s challenges.

I value the role of humour and compassion to support personal growth and optimal well-being. I believe that life's difficulties are workable and can teach us a lot if we can lean into the discomfort, interrupting our habitual patterns of avoidance, and to relate to our pain (physical or emotional) consciously and compassionately. It is my intention to support you to maximize your inner and outer resources.

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.
