Individual Therapy for Defiant Daughters in Ontario

Are you a woman with a justice-oriented heart?

Have you ever been called “too sensitive,” “difficult,” or “too much” — just for being yourself?

I believe the personal is political — and one of the earliest injustices many of us endured is the absence of a “good enough” childhood. Sometimes that looks like obvious trauma, such as physical or sexual abuse. Other times it shows up in quieter but equally painful ways: emotional neglect, lack of warmth, constant invalidation, or growing up caught in the crossfire of toxic dynamics between parents.

If conversations with your parents feel like you’re dealing with their inner child instead of your own needs… you’re not alone.

You may be still carrying the unprocessed trauma of being raised by emotionally immature parents.

When we don’t tend to these old, core wounds, they can spill into our lives as power struggles, people-pleasing, superficiality, aggression, resentment, purity politics, burnout, or harm to self and others — mirroring the very systems of oppression we’re trying to dismantle.

Here’s what I want you to know: having emotional wounds and feeling defiant isn’t a flaw. It’s your inner strength breaking through — even if it’s quiet, hidden, or beneath the surface.

In our work together, I'll help you:

Understand your emotions and patterns of behaving
Discover and express your needs and boundaries without guilt or rigidity
Heal past relational and emotional wounds
Reclaim your voice, autonomy, and sense of self
Build the kind of relationships you need and deserve

This isn’t about “fixing” you or changing who you are. It’s about nurturing the strength you already carry, so you can live authentically — even when others misunderstand you.

You deserve a life of your own making — one rooted in your values, needs, desires and preferences.

And you deserve the care and healing that makes this possible.
