I understand that high school and university can be a particularly tough time in people's lives, and I want to be there for people as an ear to listen. Not only schooling itself can be difficult, but every aspect of our lives can be - such as family, friends, extra curricular activities, risk taking, substances, and much more. It is easy to get caught up in issues with those that we are close with, so to work with a fresh set of eyes may be useful. I love learning about people's stories and will work from a non-judgemental frame of mind, because there is nothing to be ashamed of in sharing our stories.

If you are struggling with the pain of loss from the death of a loved one or another major loss, then you are likely to be feeling overwhelmed, isolated and anxious. Grief is a natural process we all encounter, but it isn't necessary to do it all alone. Struggling with daily life, having to continue to manage family, and work while feeling stressed and unable to cope with everything that has been happening over the last few years as well, just adds to all the grieving. The good news is that you are not alone. There are options for you to find your own pathway to self-healing through pain to peace

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.
