I have 30 years experience offering compassionate and goal-oriented therapy for adults with trauma/abuse histories and/or depression that are causing current mood problems, frequent upsetting memories, relationship problems, poor choices, self esteem issues, shame, numbness, sleep problems and anxiety. I specialize in EMDR and Lifespan Integration, two rapid trauma resolution techniques. Both can often quickly and effectively resolve past issues that are causing current life problems without re-traumatizing. I also use Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, which helps in gaining emotion regulation skills that will last a lifetime.

Many women reach a point where life looks fine on the outside but doesn’t quite feel aligned within. I work with women 30 and older who are generally well-adjusted and functioning, yet seeking a bit more clarity, confidence, and direction. My clients are not in crisis—they’re thoughtful, capable, and ready for meaningful reflection. Together, we gently explore what’s beneath the surface, reconnect with your inner sense of direction, and support you in moving forward with greater ease and self-trust.

Trusting yourself feels harder than it used to — harder than you think it should.
You’re here because your sense of self-trust feels shaken — you want to strengthen it in your relationships, your decisions, and your inner life. You understand why certain patterns exist, while your ways of relating and your body haven’t caught up to that information. You might feel hyper-alert, doubt your instincts and struggle to feel grounded. Some women come to me in the midst of betrayal trauma or relational harm. Others are in growth-oriented partnerships and want support showing up more fully, clearly, and authentically.

Approaching therapy with a holistic lens, my focus is to uncover the unconscious sources of behaviors, thoughts, and feelings while bringing an awareness to what your body wants to communicate with you. I work to integrate the fullness of who you are—mind, body, and soul so you can feel more alive and connected to yourself and those around you.
We will create a space together where deep understanding, self-care, and emotions that may feel scary can be explored without shame.

My approach is trauma-informed, decolonized, and holistic. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma/generational trauma/oppression; who are experiencing anxiety, depression, body image dissatisfaction, suicidality, self-esteem issues, identity issues; who are living with neurodivergence; and those belonging to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. In my work I am warm, non-judgemental, non-pathologizing, and authentic. I also often use humor in the therapeutic space as this has been a traditional tool of healing within many Indigenous communities including my own.

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.
