*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Navigating mental health struggles in young adulthood can feel overwhelming and isolating. As a queer individual, my lived experiences have led me to develop a warm, compassionate, and understanding perspective. As a counsellor, this enables me to hold a non-judgmental and thoughtful space for the people I work with and can help them feel seen, heard, and not alone.

I believe in building confidence from a variety of sources including healthy relationships, meaningful daily practices, self reflection, and mindful living.
I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed or isolated; grief, loss, guilt, shame, anger and resentment; impacts of trauma; sense of self (identity, self esteem, belonging, confidence); relationship issues; family separation (adoption, foster care, loss); caregiving (illness, burnout, therapy for therapists) and other issues.
I offer relational psychotherapy, a gentle, client-centred approach that provides space to explore issues creating difficulties for you, work to understand their roots, and support you in making the changes you wish to make. Whether you're struggling with difficult feelings or relationships, a crisis in your life, ongoing stress, or issues from the past, this is a space where you can sift through your feelings and thoughts with connection and support. My style as a therapist is warm, open and accepting. I practice within a trauma-sensitive, anti-oppression, LGBTQ*-affirming framework.

I believe that we are ALL survivors of trauma. When we go through a traumatic experience, whether it's small or big, a part of us remains stuck in the experience. We hold onto unintegrated emotions and negative beliefs about ourselves. As a result, we tend to attract and get triggered by situations that remind us of these difficult experiences - until we are able to heal. Through various techniques, most notably EMDR, we can work with these unintegrated parts of the self to desensitize and reprocess these experiences and memories. The client can be freed of these patterns and stories and achieve their therapeutic goals.

Sometimes our life can feel overwhelming, and change can feel impossible. Our feelings can impact areas of our life that can make us experience stress, feeling low, problems in relationships, or self-esteem concerns. It can be difficult to understand what and why you feel the way you do, and more importantly, how you can move forward. Your feelings are not random, but you might not like how you react in situations, so understanding why and incorporating manageable skills to change can help you be the ideal you. You know who you want to be, but feel stuck in your ways - unable to see a way through or around.

I help adults heal from trauma, childhood abuse and neglect, and bullying, allowing them to feel more connected to themselves, to others, and to the life they want to live. Low self-esteem, extreme emotions, intrusive thoughts, social anxiety, and negative body image don't have to get in the way of your relationships and life goals. With therapy, you can improve how you feel toward yourself, find inner calm, and learn how to feel safe and secure in the present.
