Lesbian Therapists in London, ON
I have over 30 years experience helping clients cope with a variety of issues, including disordered eating, anxiety, depression, & gender identity concerns. I specialized in eating disorders as a registered dietitian for 25 years & continue to help those with compulsive eating issues to gain insight into what purpose their food & weight-related behaviours are fulfilling & what healthier means are available to meet those needs. I also work with transgender folks at all points of the gender continuum, helping with exploration of gender identity & expression, coming out issues, dealing with transphobia, & referrals for medical care.

*Offering virtual trauma therapy throughout Ontario.* While I believe that everyone carries within themselves the capacity to heal, during difficult periods in life our personal strengths can be impossible to access. At these times, we may need a caring and non-judgmental therapist to assist us. My intention is to provide you with a safe space to share your concerns and to help you to fulfill the hopes you have for your life. As each individual is unique, so is therapy. I adapt my approach to meet your personal goals and together we will come to identify the process that best serves you.

I've worked therapeutically with diverse populations, in correctional and community settings, with families, adolescents and adults, for about 20 years. My approach is nuanced and responsive; my lens is anti-oppressive, attachment and trauma informed, queer and trans affirming, and psycho-dynamically and somatically attuned. To me, this means listening to, and noticing with you, communication from various verbal and non-verbal levels. It also means witnessing and acknowledging cultural, systemic, and familial legacies of power and oppression and their impact on our internal and external lives.

I believe that the goal of therapy is to help you get rid of the emotional clutter and debris that you don't want in your life any more; to free you from the entanglements that prevent you from achieving greater success, happiness, and fulfillment.

I provide my clients with a safe, welcoming and judge-free environment to discuss their most personal and intimate life struggles. Im honoured they trust me to help guide them. My focus is on helping people build healthy relationships, because when our connections are authentic we thrive. What’s more, our sense of love and belonging is fundamental to reaching our potential. In my 10 years of private practice, I’ve noticed people generally struggle with effective communication, lack of healthy boundaries, assertiveness and most of us question our intuition. I have experience in individual, couple, and family counselling.

Facing loss, sorrow and grief can be so isolating. It can be hard to know where to turn, and often times a mainstream approach won't help.

You want to feel free and hopeful. You want to make meaning of loss and allow it to move you forward in a healthy way. You want to let go of traumatic responses that keep you stuck. Perhaps you're looking for healing methods that incorporate more than just talk therapy. I see you, and know that I can help you heal.
