I enjoy working with people of all ages who may be experiencing some mental health symptoms due to family, social, or interpersonal issues. I can be a support along side people to figure out what tools benefit them and where they are at in their journey, that can be adapted as they grow and move through life. Coming from a trauma-informed lens is critical to meeting people where they mentally and emotionally are. In applying a polyvagal understanding I aim to create a supportive and healing environment for all of the people I work with.

Some people are surprised to learn that trauma is all around us. Trauma can happen with physical, sexual or emotional abuse in addition to childhood neglect, racism, discrimination and oppression. People can also feel traumatized during childbirth, loss of life, career and major life changes, as well as divorce, bullying and rejection.

Life stages and transitions bring with them many joys, challenges and uncertainties. Mental, emotional and spiritual obstacles often leave us stuck or prevent us from fully realizing the joy and peace we desire in life. Are you familiar with feelings of despair, hopelessness, anxiety, confusion and self-doubt among others? Do your children or adolescents struggle in this way? Are you experiencing a difficult time moving forward? My objective in therapy is to validate your experience as an individual, couple or family. Through practical learnings and education, I will work alongside you to provide hope and help toward healing.

My approach to therapy is highly collaborative and interactive. It's about you, your life, your goals and how I can be a strong, skillful support to help you navigate whatever you are facing. Together, we will explore not just hopes, ideas, and dreams, but also the demons, fears, confusion and dark spaces we all wrestle with. In these spaces we peel back the layers to uncover and honour our deepest truths. There will be tears and lots of laughter too.

Are you afraid of breaking up? Do you find that the two of you can’t communicate, or hear each other anymore? Our goal at The Couples Clinic is to help couples find their way back to each other. Topics such as trust, intimacy, extended family, money and infidelity can cause huge struggles in relationships. Even when couples have been together for years, they can still have difficulty navigating these issues. Anger, mistrust, contempt and resentment can pull the two of you apart and make it that much harder to heal and build the future you both deserve. We also offer a free 30 min consultation for Couple Specific Intensive Retreat.

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.
