Working with me, you can expect a non-judgmental, compassionate space. I welcome folks exactly as they are. I practice with cultural humility and intersectionality to provide a safe and collaborative relationship that enables clients to get curious about themselves. I help clients deconstruct negative self-beliefs, explore identity conflicts, explore formative familial/cultural dynamics, and develop self-understanding. I combine talk therapy (exploring past and present experiences; and how our emotions, thoughts, and body interact with one another), with attachment theory, emotions-focused therapy, and parts work.

I believe therapy offers us a space to deepen our self-understanding, find language for our experiences that feel nurturing, and to move beyond our patterns of survival towards a greater sense of integrity, meaning, self-worth, and joy. Amidst the sometimes harrowing experiences of the world outside, I see my role as a therapist to be an anchor of safety and solidarity. I prioritize relational attunement, compassion, and the flexibility needed to address what is arising in the here and now.

I specialize in supporting survivors of trauma (gender-based, workplace, systems, healthcare, and/or sexual trauma) as well as queer, trans, and/or gender diverse folks. My previous work as an outreach professional and a crisis responder has made me passionate about supporting other helping professionals. I know the joy and heartbreak of this work. I invite you to share in this together because we cannot possibly hold all of it alone. I am currently available to complete Hormone Readiness Assessments alongside those who need it.

Hi there, nice to meet you! There are a lot of therapists on here and it can be hard to know where to start, so to help you work out if I might be the right fit, here are some headline facts about me: I am proudly LGBTQ2SI+ friendly, an intersectional feminist and strengths based counsellor. I work using a trauma informed approach and believe that clients are the experts of their own lives so I believe the best thing I can do is create a non-judgemental space for them. I love to laugh, run, drink tea and am open about choosing not to have children in a world that makes that difficult.

“Stress doesn’t cause burnout. Capitalism and white supremacy does” - Jenn Mullan. Are you a member of a marginalized community - BIPOC, LGBTQ+, women, people with mental health issues? Have you been struggling with people pleasing, imposter syndrome, caregiver fatigue, and/or coming to terms with a mental health diagnosis? It is exhausting to exist in a world that was not built for us. You matter, and you deserve to be heard in a safe space that does not blame you for not doing or being enough. With an anti-oppressive and decolonial approach, I support people of marginalized identities to process their grief and honour their rage.

I work with clients who want to find relief from their struggles with the following: depression, anxiety, anger, grief and loss, worthlessness, despair, disordered eating, life/work transitions, addiction (substances, pornography and gambling), and the negative impact of sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and poverty. Often in the beginning, people come in feeling overwhelmed and frustrated and may be clearer initially of what isn't working for them or what they no longer want in their life. I believe these feelings are a resource to reveal what you do want in your life, what's important to you, your values, hopes, dreams and commitments.
