I have experience working with children, teens and young adults who are dealing with social and emotional issues, while striving to strengthen their internal locus of control. Outside of private practice I work as an addiction counsellor in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside. Through this work, I have developed an appreciation that mental health challenges can be exacerbated by both internal and external factors, such as past trauma and poverty.

Welcome to my practice. My therapeutic intention is to offer a safe and compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and known - to explore trust, healing and transformation through the basis of relationship. For over 15 years, I have helped people heal from complex and intergenerational trauma, childhood wounds, attachment and relational disruptions, anxiety, depression and other distressing experiences. I work from a holistic lens, collaboratively exploring your history, family-of-origin, cultural and societal influences, and other aspects of your story to pinpoint the factors and areas that need attention, healing and care.

Being you when the world demands you be someone else takes a toll. This makes it hard to be with the parts of ourselves that we’ve had to hide, or become, in order to survive that. As an autistic transgender system, we feel this deeply. So, I offer what's helped us: a radically accepting, empowering and understanding space where you can freely explore who you are, or want to be, with no judgements or coercion towards changes you don't want. Trauma recovery can be transformative, but choosing your own adventure makes it much more powerful. It's your life, you should get to decide where you want to go with it.

If you’re functioning on the outside but struggling on the inside, you don’t have to hold it alone. Many people come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or emotionally stuck—often carrying Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Grief, or disconnection. Therapy can be a steady, compassionate space to slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with what matters. I support children, teens, and adults with Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Trauma and PTSD, Grief, Emotional Disturbance, Self Esteem, and Life Transitions, including Autism and neurodivergent experiences.

For 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and couples through times of change and uncertainty. Many of my clients come to therapy during major life transitions — the loss of a loved one or a relationship, becoming a parent, feeling stuck in their life circumstances (career or relationship), or a growing and painful awareness that something within themselves needs to shift. During our time together we will create space for you to connect with yourself, and possibly your partner, deeply and wholly and in this connecting discover what you need to move forward with hope.

Sometimes it’s hard to notice when things aren't going well. It might be subtle signs that pop up at the end of the day. You feel like the day is going well and you’re keeping busy. But as soon as you have a moment of silence, your mind starts to cycle through things that you just don't want to think about. Do you find it hard to sit still and be at peace in these moments? Do you distract yourself as much as possible just so you don’t listen to your own thoughts? Maybe you have a hard time completing any of your important tasks? These are all normal reactions. Signals that your body is giving you to pay attention to.

As you go along in life, do you find yourself switching between different moods and hijacked by so many contradictory feelings and impulses that feel out of your control or conscious awareness? You may wish to live life more fully and meaningfully while you find yourself inhibited or limited with struggles between your wish for involvement in ordinary life and fear of leaving the house, mistrust of relationships, or hopelessness about future. In dealing with these personal challenges, you may feel flooded and severely anxious or in trying to disconnect or deny these responses, may feel chronically depressed and alienated from self.

I have worked with individuals struggling with relationships, intimate relationships, communication, grief, loss, addictions, substance misuse, trauma, sexual identity, coping with diagnoses, academic struggles, career challenges, body dissatisfaction, low-confidence, low-self esteem, depression, anxiety, OCD, personality disorders and bipolar.
I enjoy counselling people of all backgrounds and challenges. Counselling works best when the client and counsellor are a good fit for each other. Individuals must want and believe in therapy in order for progress to be made. It takes inner work but we are all capable of positive change. I'm merely a passenger, you are responsible for what happens next.
