About

I help couples and individuals find growth, healing, and stronger connections. Using evidence-based and individualized approaches, I support those struggling with women's health concerns (e.g., pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause), relationship concerns (e.g., resentment, infidelity), and life transitions (e.g., separation/divorce, parenting). I offer a free 15-minute consultation!

Biography

Hi, I’m Mara, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). With a background in education and social services, I have spent over 20 years working with individuals in crisis and helping them to navigate life's challenges! I work with couples and individuals who are seeking growth, healing, and stronger connections. My clinical focus is supporting women through health challenges (e.g., infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, weight loss). I also support folks with relationship concerns such as resentment, betrayal, infidelity, anxious attachment, and communication issues along with challenging life transitions (e.g., separation/divorce, parenting, and career changes). I use evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs, including: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed and somatic approaches. Whether you’re facing anxiety, relationship strain, or stress related to life's transitions, I offer a warm, judgment-free space to make sense of what you’re going through. Clients often describe my style as compassionate, approachable, and gently honest, with room for both healing and a bit of humor. If you’re ready for change, we can work together to build the more joyful life and relationships you deserve. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and rescue dog “Oreo’, playing games, hiking and cooking together. As a parent of 3, my experience navigating children with neurodiversity, allergies and parenting teenagers gives me a grounded, real-life understanding of family challenges. The first step is always the hardest, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to heal, grow, and create the kind of life or relationships you truly want, schedule a consultation today to begin your journey toward deeper connection and lasting change. If you’re looking for virtual couples therapy or individual therapy, I invite you to reach out and book a free consultation!
