I support Queer, Neurodivergent, Chronically ill & Disabled folk, or anyone who may have felt misunderstood in traditional/allistic clinical settings. I integrate my lived experience with professional expertise to support clients navigating AuDHD, burnout, life transitions, relationship or workplace challenges, anxiety, substance use concerns etc.
I am honoured to walk alongside my clients helping people to heal hurt, find their spark, cope with suffering, and come home to themselves. My work is grounded in social justice principals, and guided by my values of authenticity, integrity, humour, agency, and joy.
My work is: Neurodivergent affirming; Trauma informed; Lived experience informed; LGBTIQA+ affirming; Gender affirming; Ethical Non-monogamy affirming; Sex Positive; SW Safe; Wholistic; Body-based; Anti-oppressive; Anti-ableist; De-pathologizing; De-Colonial; Strengths based; Flexible and adaptable to fluctuating capacity, sensory & communication needs
If you're wanting a therapist who "gets it" on a lived-experience level, who makes you feel safe, who you can unmask in front of, who will absolutely enjoy your memes/pet photos/craft projects you show in session....I might be your gal. I encourage you to message me with any questions or book a quick 15 min intro call to chat and see if we're a good fit.
