Hello! I'm so glad you made it here. It can feel really overwhelming to choose a therapist. Here's a bit about me and the work that I like to do. I enjoy working with youth and adults who are struggling with trauma, impacts of domestic violence, anxiety, body image/disordered eating, depression, life transitions, suicidal ideation, ADHD, family and peer conflict, and substance use disorders. I also work with family members and caregivers, helping provide tools in order for them to better support their loved ones. I strive to create a warm and safe space for people to process the big (and small) things in their lives!

Do you feel lost, burnt out, or that you're barely surviving and can't catch a break? I support clients through the messy and complicated periods of life. As humans we face all sorts of challenges - from your relationships dynamics or mood (like anxiety or depression), trauma from the past that keeps getting in your way, or just general "life" (like parenting, finances, health conditions). Therapy is the space to get some support, learn some tools and find some insight on the patterns which will help meaningful shifts in your life from surviving to thriving.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, moving through loss or change, or just disconnected from yourself, counselling can help. Many of the people I work with are capable and high-functioning, yet quietly struggle with anxiety, emptiness, or patterns in relationships that don’t make sense. Through a somatic and attachment-based approach, I help you understand how trauma, attachment wounds, or younger parts of yourself may be shaping your present. Together, we’ll create space for healing so you can feel more grounded, connected, and authentic in daily life.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in your head. Stress may feel constant, self-doubt shows up at the worst times, or performance pressure and perfectionism are getting in the way: at work, at home, or in sport. You want relief, but you also want understanding: a space where you don’t have to justify your feelings, can slow down, and make sense of what’s happening. Ultimately, you want to feel calmer, more confident, and more like yourself again.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, sensitive, and deeply intuitive. They often feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or out of sync with the pace and expectations of the world around them. Some identify as neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or simply as someone who has always felt “different” or out of place. Others are just beginning to realize that their nervous system works differently — and that this might not be something to fix. I don’t believe there is anything fundamentally wrong with you. I see anxiety, depression, and other symptoms as signals — often pointing to unmet needs, misalignment, or a season of life.

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
