Hello, welcome. Maybe you have been experiencing feelings of grief, confusion, isolation, exhaustion, loss, or feeling “stuck”. Maybe you’re looking for another perspective, or someone to help you understand your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can acknowledge the path that brought you to this point, and open your heart to new and creative ways forward in your journey. We will meet in a safe, quiet space, or online in the comfort of your own surroundings. This is your time: an opportunity to think, feel, and say things that might not be easy to share.
As your therapist, I will walk beside you on your path for a time, acting as fellow-explorer, listener, witness, and facilitator. You can tell me what you are ready to talk about, and go at a pace that feels right for you. I am EMDR-trained, queer-affirming, and integrate a feminist-constructivist and attachment based approach.
I believe that our early experiences shape the way we are in the present, impacting our sense of self, our relationships, and our beliefs about the world. By examining the ways the past influences the present, we can change habitual patterns and behaviours, live a more satisfying life, and express what matters most.

I am comfortable working with different approaches, to ensure that my practice is always client-centered. What feels right for one client may not work for another. You are the expert on what you need, and what is most helpful. Together, we will explore different approaches to find what feels best for you. I am EMDR-trained, queer-affirming, and take a feminist-constructivist approach.

I believe that our earliest relationships with our families create a template for our adult lives. Attachment-based work allows us to examine the impact that the past has on the present. I take a feminist-constructivist approach by centering collaborative co-creation, and re-storying personal narratives. I am queer-affirming and value inclusivity.
