Hi, I’m Meg. I support women, parents, children, and neurodiverse clients—including women with ADHD—who are seeking more balance, regulation, and clarity in daily life. My nature-based sessions often include mindful walks on the land and even tea with the horses. I also offer equine-facilitated wellness to help clients feel grounded and connected. With experience in public and private schools, I help families navigate stress and advocate for their child’s needs. I’d be honoured to support you.

Clients often come to me feeling stuck. This can show up in their relationships, work, daily life, or even in their own thoughts. My goal is to help you get “un-stuck”. I work with individuals to sort through what’s holding them back in life and build new habits. I work with couples who have found themselves feeling more like roommates than romantic partners and we work to rebuild their sense of intimacy and connection. I work with parents and children to navigate big emotions and challenging behaviors, building skills that foster stronger, more connected relationships at home. Finally, I support women through the perinatal period.

Humans are social animals; our brains are built for connection. We crave safe relationships to support us to feel, heal, deal, and grow. We all want to be the best version of ourselves, we just may not know what our best self looks like, or, may lack the support and experience required to discover such. When we are supported to identify and address the unmet needs that may block us from feeling like 'our best', we gain a greater sense of self. By understanding the impact of our relationships, attachments, and environments, we are able to truly make sense of the choices we make, and actions we may - or may not - take.

Hi! Let’s take a deep breath: you’ve made it past the first step of identifying you need some help. In a world that is often too loud and busy, it is easy to fall into thought patterns that you are lacking; as a therapist it is my role to help you shift that narrative from deficit to plenty. I believe mental health is fluid experience and that understanding your emotions and building meaningful coping strategies is key to sustainable resilience. My role is to create a safe and empathetic space for you to be vulnerable and show up as your authentic self. My practice style is grounded in attachment-based and family systems theory

As you consider making changes in your life, know there is no right or wrong way to start therapy. If you aren’t sure how therapy can support you or worry your pain is too great to be helped, you don’t have to navigate this alone. Past traumas, the uncertain world we live in, and stressful situations eat away at our ability to cope and function. When people get stuck in unhelpful patterns it can interfere with them living a meaningful life. Whether you feel lost and overwhelmed or can clearly describe your problems but don’t know how to change them, I will meet you where you are and help you figure out how you wish to move forward.

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.
