Hi there. People come to counselling for so many reasons; maybe they're navigating traumatic memories, experiences, difficult feelings, the complexities of belonging and identity, or their relationship with drugs and/or alcohol. Maybe they feel the strain of trying to fit into boxes that were built with wrong measurements. Whatever you're holding, I'm here to hold them with you in a compassionate space that carries all parts of you and your story. I walk with people who may be navigating trauma, complex trauma, addiction and other substance use concerns, as well as neurodivergent, LGTBQIA+ and mixed-cultural & BIPOC experiences.
In our sessions, I offer a depathologising, anti-oppressive and culturally-responsive space. My approach is decolonial, intersectional and trauma-informed, drawing on evidence-based therapies. Here, you can bring your identity, body, and stories, and be met with connection and the freedom to unfold what has been hidden, forgotten, or not yet heard.
For a more comfortable space, we can weave in shared interests like music, gaming, or another passion. You might meet my curious cat, and you’re always welcome (and encouraged!) to bring your own animal companion along. For any questions you may have, or to book your first session, I warmly welcome you to reach out in whichever way fits you best.
