My counselling approach is integrative, weaving various therapeutic techniques to support each person’s unique journey. I hold the belief that the unique range of human expressions and experiences should be normalized and celebrated, rather than pathologized.

I specialize in the areas of gender identity, sexual orientation, coming out, alternative relationships, neurodiversity, mental health concerns, and navigating the complex terrain of grief. I feel confident supporting you in gently exploring and integrating experiences of trauma or abuse related to self-expression, sexuality, childhood neglect/abandonment.

My deepest intention is to provide a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space where you, as an individual, can explore emotions of distress, insecurity, confusion, and everything in between. With warmth, nurturing guidance, and fierce compassion, I'll walk alongside you as you embark on your journey toward self-acceptance and understanding.
