Perimenopause, Menopause, Midlife:
Many of the women I work with are somewhere on the menopause continuum- from early perimenopause to post-menopause — feeling the emotional, physical, and relational shifts it brings. They may also be raising preteens/teens, caregiving for aging parents, carrying the weight of everyone else’s needs, often while working a full-time job. They’re overwhelmed, stretched thin, and unsure how to set boundaries without guilt.
I’m here to help them on that journey — untangling the emotional load, understanding hormone-related shifts, and rebuilding a sense of balance and capacity in their lives.

I work with athletes, neurodivergent folks and those seeking clarity, direction, and purpose. As a former NCAA D1 athlete, an AuDHD and queer therapist, and a Maltese-Canadian navigating systems not built for me, I understand what it means to move through the world differently. I believe our growth comes from exploring the meaning behind our experiences, how they shape who we are, the ways we connect and how we pursue what matters most to us. In therapy, I work alongside clients in the here-and-now to uncover the how and why beneath their patterns and make sense of their inner world within the systems they exist within.

Accepting New Clients! Being human is full of joys, heartbreaks, & lessons. To thrive, we need to navigate the tough stuff and understand and resolve the subconscious blocks that hold us back.

There are many reasons why someone may choose to seek therapy services, and these reasons are as individual as the person themselves. In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients to determine their therapeutic goals and how they would like to move toward them.

Hi! My areas of interest and expertise include working with people who have survived trauma and sexual abuse. My first goal is to build rapport and a trusting relationship with clients, and focus on establishing a sense of safety and stability.

I also enjoy working with adolescents; having once been a teen in need of additional support, I am able to empathize and quickly connect with young people. Other topics focused on at my practice are BPD and mood disorders, anger management, self-esteem, and relational issues.

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.
