If you're struggling with shame, anxiety, or existential concerns related to your religious background (whether you have left your religious community or are still happily a part of it), I'm here to help you move forward. Religion plays a huge role shaping our understanding of ourselves, our values, and the world around us. It can be a daunting but incredibly rewarding journey to open these ideas up for examination. My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive space to explore, deconstruct, and create new understandings that feel true to who you are.
I offer counselling services via online video call, telephone, and in-person. I understand how hard it can be to attend counselling when you work 9 to 5. While I offer sessions during regular business hours, I also offer evening appointments.
I draw upon a range of therapeutic modalities tailored to each individual's circumstances, including narrative therapy, interpersonal therapy, and ACT. My work is trauma-informed and proudly LGBT-friendly. Not sure if I'm the right counsellor to help you? Happy to have a introductory phone chat with you to see if it feels like a good fit.
