Life can be hard sometimes. Maybe youâre feeling sad, stuck or overwhelmed right now. Often when weâre struggling it can be hard to reach out for help or talk about it with family or friends, especially if weâre met with comments like âjust get over itâ or âwhy canât you move on?â In therapy, I will not make those statements, and will listen without judgment, so that we can explore whatâs going on in your life and how youâre feeling about it. With compassion, I will support you to consider what might be holding you back or keeping you feeling stuck, and with this awareness comes the opportunity to experiment with new possibilities.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out for support, especially when facing challenges that feel deeply personal and unique to your experiences. As a Queer Indigenous therapist, I understand the complexities of navigating identity and the impact it can have on mental well-being. Whether you're wrestling with ancestral trauma, struggling to find your place in an unwelcoming world, or simply seeking understanding, I'm here for you. Imagine stepping into a space where every aspect of your identity isn't just acknowledged but celebrated. Where your journey of self-discovery is met with understanding, compassion, and validation.

Whether you are looking to acknowledge areas of yourself that you have avoided in the past, or to better understand your moods, relationships, and current challenges, together we will create a space to explore these parts of you. I believe that we were not meant to carry things alone, and that healing and growth look different for everyone. Together, we can make space to process what it is that needs your attention, so you can feel more aligned with the version of you that you've been disconnected from.

Welcome! I might be a good match for you as a therapist if you want support around existential, sexual, or relationship issues. Existential issues might include exploring meaning and purpose in life. Sexual issues might include things like processing shame and moving toward a picture of sexual health and wellness - whatever that looks like for you. Relationship issues might include deepening your understanding of your relationship with yourself, your family of origin, your chosen family, your partner/s, and/or your community.

As a social work trained psychotherapist (Ontario) with over a decade of private practice experience, I hope to bring an open and accepting mind to a wide variety of clientele. Finding a good fit in a therapist is so hard, especially if it is your first time reaching out for help. It can be daunting. To me a good therapeutic space is one in which trust and compassion can be established, where a person can feel both supported and sometimes gently challenged, and where a relationship is created in which one can feel not only heard, but also understood.

Being human is hard. Between stress, responsibilities, and relationships, it can feel overwhelming and exhausting. Maybe you have also experienced trauma, which confounds the complexities of life even more. If you feel stuck, unmotivated, anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, wanting to give up, you are not alone. I have felt this way, and I have experienced trauma and loss, and that is why I am here to help you. If you are ready to strive with resiliency, as opposed to suffering with feelings of fear, guilt, shame, etc., you have found the right place!

While becoming a parent can bring joy and fulfillment, the changes and stressors that accompany the perinatal period (prenatal and postpartum) can also have substantial impacts on a parentâs mental health. Nothing can easily prepare a parent for this significant new role. New parents are often overwhelmed with how how all consuming caring for a baby can be, may experience challenging shifts in their important relationships, and my not yet know how to cope or access the support they need. As a queer parent, I have a keen desire to support queer families, who deserve a space that feels affirming of their family - all are welcome!

If you feel overwhelmed by the state of the world, or find yourself struggling to make sense of your experiences as we navigate difficult times as a collective, I can help. Perhaps you feel exhausted from physical experiences like chronic pain, ongoing fatigue or poor sleep. Maybe you're struggling to cope with a sense of dread, feelings of anxiety, or the pain of grief and loss. I know it can be difficult to stay connected to our values, to find meaning amidst the constant demands on our attention and time.

Are intense reactions making it harder to develop and maintain relationships? Are you feeling stuck and unable to find your place in life? I have been there; you do not have to do it alone. I draw insights from my lived experiences as an immigrant and survivor/thriver of life and integrate inner knowing, compassion, and neuroscience to create spaces for relief, healing, and transformation. My passion is journeying with women/gender-diverse adults and immigrants who have experienced relational trauma, leading to addictions, perfectionism, compulsions & feelings of sadness, depression, anxiety or anger.

Strained relationships; overwhelming anxiety; existential loneliness; feeling inherently broken and unlovable: if you are neurodiverse, these experiences may be familiar to you. The good news? You donât have to feel that way forever.

You're feeling anxious, hurt or overwhelmed. You want to build a life where you are not just surviving and going through the motions, but it feels like that is out of reach. You want the anxiety to stop, or at least to find ways for it to have less power over your life. You are facing new changes or losses in your life and you're wondering where to go from here and how to work through the pain. You need someone to listen and to help you in finding ways to help yourself, to heal, to learn strategies to cope with the emotions that are flooding you. You are ready to make changes to help you live the life YOU want to live. I get it.

Establishing a relationship with the hidden or unconscious aspects of your mind (psyche) and body (soma) can help you learn how to live with your deepest emotional wounds, while also offering you the opportunity to discover vitality, freedom, and joy. I can support you in learning how to lean into your pain and grow your edges so that you can express yourself more authentically. I use safe psychological practices to connect people to their own innate wisdom; coherence between your mind, heart, and body is possible.
