Modern
women
face a lot of pressure in daily life. We feel the pressure of societal expectations in everything we do and everything we are: physical appearance, career, motherhood, relationships, work/life balance, etc. When we try to make everything perfect, we set ourselves up for failure and our inner critic kicks in. As a result of the internal and external pressures, many
women
feel stressed, overwhelmed, and not good enough. Worst of all, we can feel alone in our struggles: "what is wrong with me because everyone else seems to be managing better". Trust me, you are not alone in these concerns and they are all very treatable.

Even professional
women
get stuck sometimes.
Welcome! Right about now, things don't feel right. You strive to do your best, but lately, you've been feeling stuck. No one would know it b/c you present really well & seem entirely put together on the outside- but privately, you're hurting on the inside. The truth is, things don't feel right in one or more areas of your life. You're tired of dealing with self-doubt & negative thoughts, feeling stressed & overwhelmed, and not being confident and happy like you want. You might even be tired of carrying around that internal pain you've been trying to keep tucked deep inside but secretly wonder if you can feel better.

As a queer
woman
with ADHD, I'm passionate about anti-oppressive practice and providing a safe(r) space to welcome everyone.
Your journey is unique, and your therapy should be tailored to your needs and experiences. You can bring your whole self to our time together - laughter, tears, anger, joy, or grief, and the many layers of yourself. You want to be seen and heard, for someone to understand how much you've been through, and how desperately you want things to change. I support both individuals and couples, and specialize in supporting people in the queer community, neurodivergent folks, as well as those navigating stress, anxiety, and those nurturing their self-esteem and overcoming people pleasing patterns. All are welcome!

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.
