Do you often feel that you do not belong? As a counsellor, I am proud of my extensive experience supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community. Being authentic can be difficult for anyone. When you open yourself up to others, rejection and misunderstandings are possible—and so is experiencing genuine connections. As someone who openly varies gender expression (I use He/They pronouns), I know what it is like to be vulnerable and experience judgement. I love helping my clients discern what is important to them, embrace courage, and do what matters.
The core of my counselling approach is Existential Therapy. It is an open-minded way of counselling that considers what you yearn for and puts that in the context of the human condition. Typically, I also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with it to provide practical skills for struggles like emotion regulation. I adapt my approach to your needs.
My priority as a counsellor is to help you feel genuinely heard and seen. I want you to feel that the counselling space is a sanctuary where we can safely explore topics, even taboo ones. If you have tried therapy before and you felt a lack of depth, I encourage you to connect with me.

My typical approach to therapy is a blend of existential and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). These two therapies are focused on helping people live meaningfully. This list of therapies is what I tend to use, but I do have knowledge of other approaches.
