Welcome to the All Out Collective. The Collective offers virtual therapy to 2SLGBTQ+ children, teens & young adults and their families in individual, family & group settings to support identity, provide education & help build community. Individual therapy can focus on 2SLGBTQ+ identities, coming out, relationships & discrimination in addition to other struggles including trauma, neuro-divergence, anxiety, depression, relationships and self-harm. We also offer in person groups (in the Hamilton area) for 2SLGBTQ+ children and youth and a virtual support and education group for caregivers of trans/non-binary children and youth.

While we work with folks from all identities, as a neuro-diverse 2SLGBTQ+ therapist I specialize in working with children, youth & young adults who also identify as 2SLGBTQ+ and provide a safer space to explore identity and expression, provide support through experiences of homophobia and transphobia and teach coping skills for other areas of struggle.

l approach my practice from a youth-centred perspective working collaboratively to build coping skills and set realistic goals. I utilize a variety of modalities and experience in my counselling style, including CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioural therapy), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) & IFS (Internal family systems)
