Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who hold themselves to very high standards, yet privately feel anxious, burnt out, or self-critical. Deciding to speak to a psychologist can take real courage, especially when you’re used to being the one others rely on. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, and the deeper issues caused by traumatic experiences. I am trained in EMDR, which can help people process and move forward from experiences that continue to feel unresolved or intrusive.

I’m a registered psychologist with experience supporting children and adolescents through both counselling and assessment. I've worked extensively in the education system since 2012 and take a strengths-based and collaborative approach, working alongside young people and their families to build understanding and capacity. I believe in creating a space that is genuine, safe, and relaxed — somewhere it’s okay to be vulnerable, ask questions, laugh, and develop new ways of responding to life’s challenges.

Therapy can be beneficial when something has challenged our usual ways of coping or when something in our lives just doesn't feel right. Triggers might include anxiety, anger or low mood, illness such as cancer or a heart condition, increased stress, relationship problems, bereavement, or a life transition. You might be looking for emotional support as well as deeper insight, a "road map" and some "navigational skills" to help find the best path for you. All are welcome, including neurodiverse people and those from minority cultures and faiths.

Life is full of transitions. Whether it’s adolescence, growing independence, changes in relationships, separation, migration, or unexpected challenges, these moments can leave us feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and disconnected from the people we care about most. While change can be uncomfortable, it is also where growth begins. At Connect to Heal, I support teenagers, young adults, parents, and families navigating life’s challenges and the disconnection that can sometimes come with them.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, 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 because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

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 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.
