Let's Connect (437) 371-2433
I offer brief and long-term individual counseling, to pre-teens, adolescents, adults, and families. I especially welcome queer, trans and gender-diverse clients and those who support them; neurodivergent folks; those wanting to improve their mental health and those wanting to address substance use and/or addiction.
My work combines professional experience working in the field of mental health, and my own personal insights from lived experience. I am a qualified provider of surgical assessments for those seeking OHIP funding approval for gender affirming transition-related surgeries.
If you're ready to move towards more self-awareness and confidence in your life and relationships, I’m ready to accompany you on this journey of growth and insight. It is so important you find a therapist that feels good to work with. I offer a complimentary 20-min consultation to see if my approach feels like a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you.
