Do you have the sense that your issues run deep, but you’re not really sure how the past is connected to the way you think and feel today? Are you hoping to find guidance and flexibility in therapy and need help figuring out how to ‘do’ self-compassion? I work with folks to untangle conflicting thoughts/behaviors, understand the origins of their feelings, and help facilitate that inner dialogue with the parts of you that are in distress. I am passionate about caring for marginalized people, and have a unique understanding of how oppressive systems play out in individual lives. Healing is creative, and therapy should be too.NB/NS 19+

My approach to counselling is first and foremost directed at providing a comfortable, welcoming, non-judgemental space. I use an integrative approach to counselling, meaning I pull from various theories and modalities – all of which are evidence based. Most commonly I use Person-Centered, humanistic approaches, Queer theory and affirmative therapy. I am also trained in using EMDR therapy. During sessions we will work together to create goals, foster resilience, gain skills and coping strategies to empower you to work towards change and combat your negative thinking to ultimately improve your well-being.

I believe in a holistic approach to wellness and am committed to creating a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. I want to ensure clients feel they can show up as their authentic selves and feel safe, seen, heard, and valued. I work collaboratively with clients to capitalize on their inherent strengths and skills, and to cultivate greater feelings of connection, authenticity, and healing in their lives.

Transgender Counsellors
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognise a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognise a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
