Many of my clients come to therapy because life has felt heavy, overwhelming, or confusing for a long time. People often reach out to process past trauma, including difficult personal experiences or challenges related to military life, that feel too big to manage alone. They often want to find gentler, more effective ways to cope with stress, navigate daily life, and get relief from the emotional load they’ve been carrying. I work with adults who feel like they’ve had the weight of the world on their shoulders and are ready to feel like themselves again, while discovering ways to care for themselves without guilt or pressure.

Life can be challenging, but it is also full of moments where strength, clarity, and connection can grow. Whether you're a child, teen, or adult, you may face times when anxiety, low mood, stress, or past experiences make daily life feel heavier than it should. Yet even in those moments, the possibility for change remains, often closer than it seems.

Feeling overwhelmed these days? Many of us are walking around stuck in a state of fight, flight, or freeze and we may not even be aware. The latest research says that the three ways we can find calm are: connection, safety, and being in the present moment. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space that makes these conditions possible. By engaging with our emotions, our mind, and our body in a safe and integrated way, we can move past "the stuckness" and find hope in places that we didn't think were there.

Therapy can be a transformative process that provides one's life with a sense of fullness, meaning and personal freedom. There are many reasons to go into therapy. There may be a sense of emptiness, not fitting in, a lack of self-worth, a history of vague anxiety or depression, unsatisfying relationships, or a feeling that something’s wrong or missing but not knowing what that might be. Therapy provides an opportunity to slow down in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. By slowing down, it allows parts of ourselves that may have been shamed, ignored or hidden (parts that are often hurting the most) to be seen and cared for.

I am best able to help clients who are desirous of making changes in their lives and understand that "the slower you go, the faster you get there".

As the unconscious becomes conscious, patients are able to make more thoughtful and meaningful choices and thus begin to live more full and meaningful lives.

Female Counsellors
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.
