As a Clinical Psychologist in Supervised Practice, I provide psychological services to children and adolescents. I work from an attachment-based, trauma-informed perspective with children, youth, and parents, providing assessment and intervention support. In my clinical work, I gravitate towards an integrative framework to address varying presenting needs such as mood and anxiety, challenges in behaviour, emotion regulation, difficulty in interpersonal relationships, as well as trauma exposure.

I work to create a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Through a client-oriented approach, I aim to help clients uncover the underlying roots of their problems and symptoms. I believe that a symptom important enough to instigate a trip to the therapist has typically resulted from many different interacting factors. In my practice, I assist clients in exploring these factors and the dynamic organization to the way they unconsciously register experience. By doing so, we can work to bring about desired changes.

Do you feel trapped in a cycle of strained relationship? You feel like people in your life are pushing your triggers and it is causing you more distress than bringing you peace. This type of anxiety, anger, stress, sadness can take a toll on you. No matter what you are doing, you end up feeling like the bad person every single time. You feel like you are not enough in the relationship and you feel like you are the only one wanting this relationship to work. When there is past trauma or the other person is not willing to work with you, healing and moving forward becomes harder. We start wondering if we are the problem.

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.
