Accepting New Clients. Do you feel like you’ve tried to make change in your life but you keep hitting the same walls? You have so much you want to do, but it can be hard to know where to start. Stress, anxiety and depression-whether they show up as a trio, or one takes centre stage-can rob you of sleep, damage your relationships and make it hard to function at home, work, or school. If you struggle with family or other relationships or are overwhelmed by school or your career, you can begin to feel powerless to create a better life. I can help you consider different solutions and find new ways of looking at the challenges you face.

I am ideally suited to those who walk along one or more of these paths, including queerness, transness, neurodivergence, ethical non-monogamy, kink- and power exchange-based relationships, and parenting in structures outside of the hetero nuclear family.

You are not alone in facing these challenges. Whether it be feelings of unworthiness, struggling with setting healthy boundaries or reconnecting with yourself with a new sense of joy. It can be scary to reach out and ask for help, and seeking support is a courageous step towards healing and growth.

I believe that each of us (from children, preteens, teenagers, young adults, adults, parents, and up) has within us the ability to learn to deal with life’s stressors and manage the way we deal with the trials and tribulations that life brings our way. As a mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and co-worker, I bring to my practice a blend of lived mental health/life experience, education and a holistic approach while maintaining the philosophy that we’re all capable humans and don’t have to go through difficult times alone.
