Diving under the surface is one of the bravest things you can do. Sometimes you sit down to deal with a problem and have no idea where to start. You might feel stuck, disconnected, or maybe you are simply seeking guidance while you wade through something difficult. That's where I come in. I strive to create an environment where you aren't mean to yourself. I want to inspire conversations that are grounded in self-acceptance so that you can gain awareness and develop new perspectives.

I help my clients change how they perceive themselves and others, and to develop the capacity and resources to live better, more fulfilling lives. They may be experiencing a significant transition such as the end of a relationship or career, menopause, a death or gender transition. They may struggle with their self-esteem and knowing their needs and boundaries, or with their body image or gender. Perhaps, they have relational challenges that include attachment, codependency and communication issues. Or, they may have difficulties with emotional regulation, and may have trauma.

Are you a gay man who feels anxious, stressed and overwhelmed? Do you feel like life is passing you by while you silently suffer alone? Anxiety can feel so incredibly overwhelming.

The good news is that there are specific skills you can learn to not only manage the anxiety, but truly thrive. I know reaching out for support can be really difficult when you don’t know what to expect. I provide a warm, non-judgemental and shame-free counselling environment so that you feel safe and supported.

We’re all born into systems and socially constructed narratives that impact us, and unravelling your story within those systems and narratives makes space to rewrite it. I want to empower you to tell your story, now and in the future, despite whatever boxes the world tries to put you in. By creating the building blocks of radical self-acceptance through self-reflection and self-discovery, we can explore alternative perspectives to constructing new meanings and possibilities. This process can help you expand your thinking, challenge self-limiting beliefs, and develop more flexible and adaptive ways of thinking and being.

I recognize the vulnerability it takes to connect with someone new about the challenges you’ve been facing. As a queer and non-binary counsellor, I believe in the power of experiencing relationships which unconditionally affirm our authentic selves. In our work together, I strive to harness moments of safety in which your connection to self can emerge, so that a new experience of healing and wholeness can take root. My hope is that this collaborative process will open portals of possibility for you, and new ways of being in the world.

Welcome! I am a queer and gender expansive therapist, offering individual online therapy across most Canadian jurisdictions. I offer a contextualizing, self-compassionate, and strengths based approach. While life's hardships will never disappear, I can help you come to more peace and aliveness within yourself. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to be seen, heard, and grow within. Therapy is kind of like detangling a big ball of yarn; it can be both hard yet relieving (you're not broken, just tangled!), and ultimately allows room for more consciousness/choice to flow in: now that your threads are free, what would you like to weave?

I believe counselling can be a space where we can get to know our authentic selves, where many parts of ourselves can be explored and we can start to resist the boxes that may be confining us. I view counselling as a collaborative process and recognize each person’s natural ability to gravitate toward change at their own pace. The genuine connection of a counselling relationship in a safe enough and inclusive environment is often at the root of healing.
