I am well versed in working with women on concerns unique to them such as gender role stress, body image, and the pressure to be the 'perfect everything to everyone'.
Women have faced unique challenges throughout the ages due to social constructs, and internalized beliefs about the role and worth of women. Working through what your place in the world is and what your role both in your life and in the lives of those around you takes a lot of bravery, because doing so means standing up
Our team of therapists are well versed in women's issues including infertility, domestic violence, sexual abuse, infidelity and healthy relationships counselling.
Treating women's issues involves understanding and truly validating the unique challenges that women face in our patriarchal society. If you are navigating these complexities, please know that your experiences and feelings are so valid and real. As a therapist who practices from a feminist and trauma-informed lens, I strive to provide a safe and empowering space to explore issues like. gender inequality, societal pressures, and personal relationships. A feminist approach takes into account the reality of living as a woman in this world, and promotes safety, self-advocacy, and empowerment. Therapy can help you develop coping strategies, build self-esteem, and reclaim your voice. Remember, seeking support is a powerful act of self-care and resistance. You deserve to be heard, respected, and supported on your journey towards healing and empowerment. You are not alone, and there is hope and help available.
Women face unique challenges in today's world. I specialize in addressing these issues, offering a supportive space for empowerment and self-discovery. Whether you're navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, or seeking personal growth, I'm here to help you find your inner strength and embrace your authentic self. Reach out for a free consultation and start your journey towards empowerment and fulfillment.
I work primarily with women in my practice; women face unique challenges, stressors, and stereotypes in society that contribute to the way we show up, the way we view ourselves and others, and the mental health challenges that can arise. I am currently getting certified in perinatal mental health and have a special interest in working with women who are in the perinatal/ postpartum period.
ZHW is bridged in services with DH, a purely women's clinic that supports us medically, while we support them in all things mental health including testing for mood, menopause, ADHD, codependency, dysregulation etc.
The area of women's issues is so broad - encompassing everything from anxiety and depression to self-esteem, to challenges with hormone changes, infertility, empty nest issues, divorce, retirement and changing careers. Often times, it is a combination of several of these that leads to feeling like you no longer know who you are or what direction to go in life. Let's work through this, to identify the issues/challenges and build up the new you together.
I am currently accepting new clients. No waitlist! Evening sessions available for in-person or online sessions.
Having worked as a Registered Social Worker for over 12 years, I have established an approach to working with clients that leaves them feeling heard and supported. Together we create a space where you can safely and effectively work towards your wellness goals and make positive changes in your life. This may involve talking things through, processing and making sense of difficult experiences, addressing unhelpful thought or behaviour patterns, or establishing more effective coping mechanisms. Every client's journey is unique. My role is to support you in this process by being a neutral, non-judgemental resource.
