It is a brave and vulnerable act to reach out for therapy and to explore your lived experiences. Our minds sort and use the most impactful of these experiences and manifest themselves in all aspects of our lives. These become habitual thought patterns and ways of being which establish roots and grow, many of which are nourishing and serve us well, where others have taken hold in ways that bind us in patterns that create suffering for ourselves and in our relationships. Your willingness and energies can create healthy, mindful and intentional ways of being so that you become the author of your lived experiences.

Tired of behaving or reacting from unconscious patterns? Looking to understand your behaviours and where they come from? Want to learn to have more compassion for yourself and others? Let's start with the inner-standing that everybody has fears, beliefs and rules for how they "should" be.

Holistic exploration of these dialogues, can result in feeling and reacting differently and providing folks with new tools to move forward to overcome specific problems.

What I love to see in my clients are individuals willing to put in the work and allow their walls to be lowered so that we can explore their struggles, both in the present, as well as diving into the root cause of those struggles, from the past. It is always ideal when a client is at a point in their journey when they are ready for change, but unfortunately, clients often wait to seek help until they are desperate for change and in serious pain. Wherever you are at in journey, let's talk through it and see if we can help you to rise and move beyond your struggles, and regain your power.

Clients that have benefited the most from my work over the past 30 years, are people who have difficulties with stress, depression, anxiety and symptoms of trauma. People often need a safe, supportive environment to explore their sources of pain and my approach to working with people inspires courage and connection to one's inner wisdom, confidence and creativity. I work with individuals, couples and adult families, and my observation is that people want to be heard, understood and validated in their relationships, families and workplaces. I love to engage clients in discussions that encourage self awareness and and assertiveness.

I offer a laid-back approach where I listen to your words explaining to me why you reached out, how you don't know what to say or how to begin, and take the time to ask small questions so I can get a better understanding of how I can best support you. I will ask a few questions based on location and who's in your intimate circle, as it is important for me to know what resources you already have around you. In our time together, I will offer a non-judgmental ear and together we will develop the best plan in moving forward on your journey.

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.
