Is anxiety getting in the way of living? Do you often wonder if your personal life should be better? Are you living in your past - unable to move forward?

Woodbridge, ON L4L
Have you been stuck in a cycle with your partner for years and have tried everything you know how to fix it? You’ve considered therapy, but you think you need support right away and fast. I offer couples therapy intensives, during which I work with a couple for 4 to 6 hours. Many couples find this process effective, as it covers a lot of ground in a short period of time. To start the process, we will meet for a 90-minute initial assessment session, during which I will gather your relationship history, explore the events that have led to your current cycle, and develop a plan of action for the intensive.

Therapy can be challenging, it asks us to look honestly at patterns, pain, and parts of ourselves we may have learned to avoid. But with the right support, it never has to feel like a journey you take alone. I offer a warm, and welcoming space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re carrying. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, therapy can be a place to build clarity, resilience, and self-trust at your own pace. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin, just a willingness to show up. Together, we can take that step forward in your journey.

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.
