Hi, I'm Shay and I'm so glad you're here. It is incredibly brave and vulnerable to reach out for support. If you've experienced sexual violence, are questioning your gender or sexuality, enduring racism, or feeling overwhelmed by trauma symptoms - know that you aren't alone and that together we can find a way forward! You can expect me to show up with curiosity, compassion, kindness, presence, flexibility, and a deep love for this work. I believe healing happens through authentic relationship, so I bring my full self into counselling. My hope is for you to show up exactly as you are, and know that you are seen, heard, and accepted.
As an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed therapist, I believe it is important to consider the context of identity, family, community, and society as a whole. I want to know what has happened to you, and how you've adapted. My practice is influenced by narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, neuroscience, and body-based approaches.
I would be honoured to walk with you on a piece of your healing journey. If my approach resonates, please reach out - I'd love to connect!
