Many queer and trans people grow up in a world that wasn’t built to hold them. Over time, we set aside parts of ourselves to feel safe and belong. For gender explorative children and youth, 2SLGBTQ+ individuals, couples, parents, and queer families, that reality is intensified by the current Alberta political climate. You deserve a space that names these truths and meets you with compassion and unwavering affirmation. Whether you’re exploring identity, navigating parenting, or building a family, therapy can offer room to bring forward the parts of yourself that have been quieted and imagine more expansive ways of being.

I’m an integrative person-centred counselling therapist who works in a warm, collaborative way. Many people who reach out to me do so after feeling like other approaches haven’t quite fit — like they weren’t fully heard, or like they were running out of options.

Through a variety of counselling modalities, we'll work together to ensure every part of you is supported through your journey.

I specialize in helping clients who feel unheard in traditional mental health spaces due to experiences of minority stress, anxiety, body image, trauma, or navigating their identity in a world that doesn’t always make space for them. They want more than coping skills; they want to understand themselves, feel safe in their own skin, and build meaningful connections. Their goal isn’t just managing symptoms—it’s reclaiming agency, healing in a way that feels authentic, and finding a sense of belonging. I help them explore their story with compassion, evidence-based practice and science, and a deep respect for their lived experience.

I know that not feeling like you can be yourself can be difficult and painful. So many of us encounter expectations and judgements that make authenticity feel out of reach. I am offering a space where you can be honest about what you’re going through and know that I care and want to work with you to feel better. I will always meet you with compassion and care, because you deserve it. I want to learn about all the things that make you who you are. Together, we can find new, creative ways for you to disrupt old stories and expectations and find a path forward that centers your values, your wisdom, and your humanity.

I am a non-binary Registered Psychologist with a general private practice in Edmonton, Alberta. Although I am eclectic practitioner who uses a variety of therapeutic approaches, my foundation lies in liberation psychology. "If you as a human being transform yourself, you affect the consciousness of the rest of the world." -J. Krishnamurti.
I provide a space where your lived experiences are honoured and your expertise on "you" is heard and valued, whether as part of therapy, assessment or workshops/consultations. Self-reflection and self-connection lightened with a giant dollop of humour is where (IMHO) we all do our best work.

Maybe you never feel enough, and what "enough" even looks like may feel uncertain. You might be exhausted from feeling the guilt and shame you don't know how to talk about. Perhaps you think your overwhelming past experiences will never leave you. I work with folks who long to accept and connect with themselves & others but feel stuck and in a loop of self-criticism. As a Korean-Canadian Psychologist with many intersecting identities, I also understand and work with many personal and systemic challenges faced by BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities. I offer care, skills, and insights to support your growth and discovery of new possibilities.

You may feel your brain and body are betraying you. You may have racing thoughts, anxiety, panic attacks, non-stop worries or can’t get out of bed. You may feel depressed, that relationships are not working, you can’t trust people care for you or will stick around, you are triggered, activated constantly and can’t overcome fears. I offer in person and virtual therapy to help face all these challenges.

You’re someone who’s always been capable and reliable, but lately you feel exhausted, disconnected, or close to burnout. I work with Queer, Black, and Racialized adults who carry a lot and are ready to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and let their strengths serve them rather than trauma controlling them, all without burning out.

Do you feel like you're constantly masking, switching, or shrinking parts of yourself just to get through the day? Maybe you're exhausted from trying to meet expectations that were never made for someone like you. You might be navigating a world that doesn’t understand your brain, your identity, or both—and you’re craving a space where you can be your full self. You want to feel grounded, self-accepting, and free. Therapy can be that place—a space to explore, unmask, and build a life that actually fits you.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
The gender of your therapist can matter, depending on your individual comfort preferences and therapeutic goals. While therapy outcomes are often driven by the therapist’s methodology and the strength of the therapeutic relationship, many people feel more at ease working with a therapist who shares or understands their gender identity, which can enhance trust and improve therapy outcomes. For clients who are non-binary or gender-diverse, working with a therapist of a similar identity may reduce the need to explain or justify their experiences and can increase the sense of being seen and understood. This dynamic may be especially important when addressing topics related to gender, sexuality, trauma, or relationships. Ultimately, what matters most is finding a therapist who is respectful and knowledgeable of your identity—regardless of their own gender.
What are the advantages of seeing a non-binary therapist?
Working with a non-binary therapist can offer unique benefits for individuals seeking support around gender identity. Therapists who personally identify as non-binary may bring both professional training and personal insight to their work, creating a therapeutic space that some clients may find more affirming and welcoming. These therapists often have specialised knowledge in areas such as gender-affirming care, gender dysphoria, and navigating family or social acceptance. They may also be particularly skilled in helping clients find additional resources, such as affirming healthcare providers or community-based supports that align with and affirm their identity.
How can I find a non-binary therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for identifying therapists who identify as non-binary. You can use filters to search by identity markers as well as by clinical specialty, therapeutic approach, insurance accepted, session costs, and languages spoken to help ensure a good fit. During an initial consultation or early sessions, consider asking about the therapist’s training in gender-affirming care, their experience with LGBTQ+ clients, and their therapeutic approach to identity-related topics. An effective therapist will be open and affirming in their responses. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
