Counselling for women in Niagara Falls, Ontario
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming—especially when you're already juggling so much. That’s why I offer trauma-informed, personalized counselling for women in Niagara Falls and surrounding areas. Whether you’re navigating motherhood, burnout, anxiety, or past wounds that still feel heavy, my approach blends compassion and strategy to help you reconnect with yourself and finally feel like you again.
How it works
01
Book an intro call
We’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface—what’s been weighing you down, and what kind of support you truly need. You don’t have to do this alone, and this first conversation can be a powerful step toward a calmer, more connected you.
02
Personalized, one-on-one sessions
Each session is tailored to your life. Whether you’re unraveling the guilt of not doing “enough,” struggling to set boundaries, or simply trying to breathe through the chaos, our time together is focused on real-life strategies and emotional healing that fit your actual day-to-day.
03
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques
I draw from methods like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed somatic work—not to give you a checklist, but to offer tools that meet you where you are. These approaches help you understand your patterns, soften the self-judgment, and build new ways of showing up for yourself and your people.

Frequently asked questions
What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel your session. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may incur a fee.
What can I expect during my first session?
For the free consultation, I will invite you to share your concerns, what your goals are and any questions you have for me.
For the initial first session, we will spend time reviewing the intake forms you completed to better understand your needs and goals.
Confidentiality
The counselling relationship is built on trust between counsellor and client, therefore anything that is shared in session will remain confidential. There are some limits to this, which are:
1. If I believe you or another is at risk of imminent harm: where possible I would let you know and discuss it with you, and my supervisor, before taking appropriate action.
2. If a Court Order is received demanding records.
3. For the purposes of professional supervision and education. I can ensure confidentiality in face-to-face communication, but cannot ensure that electronic communication by telephone or internet will be confidential. Please be aware of this if you chose to communicate through e-mail, text, social media, Skype, Zoom or any similar format
