Therapists in Vaughn, ON

Hello! I am a compassionate, supportive and collaborative therapist that offers both short term or long term therapy depending on what you need! I am here to provide you with a safe and nonjudgmental space to work through old pains and new life challenges with yourself or family members.

In my practice, I work closely with clients aged 10-25 as they navigate the complexities of adolescence. I specialize in supporting them through challenges such as identity formation, interpersonal conflicts, suicidal ideation, self-harm, anxiety, depression, authenticity, and personal expression. My approach fosters a queer-inclusive safe space, offering validation and empathy. Together, we focus on building resilience, self-esteem, and coping skills, while also cultivating an embodied understanding of healthy emotional regulation.

Hello and welcome! I'm a queer, transmasculine therapist with a background in health and community-based work, as well as in music, writing, and theatre. I draw upon a range of strengths-based and trauma-informed therapy approaches with the intention of increasing my clients' capacity to safely connect to themselves and to move toward ways of living and relating that affirm them in their wholeness. I aim to be an active and supportive presence in the therapy process, and to work in a way that is guided by the political frameworks I value in my everyday life: anti-oppression, harm reduction, and abolition.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and rooted in values of diversity, anti-oppression, social justice, and personal growth, and is inclusive of all identities and expressions. I work with individuals and couples with the goal of helping them meet their goals for wellbeing and self-understanding. I work with a variety of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, situational stress or distress, emotional exploration, and difficulties in relationships.

It is seeming all too normal these days to experience feelings of disconnection. A separation from ourselves, our passions, our bodies, our communities, etc. We spend so much time in our heads trying to figure out how to survive when we so desperately want to be thriving. Where has our aliveness gone? How do we get our bodies and our senses back online and truly show up for our unique experience?

Every single person, no matter their challenges or situation, has intrinsic value and worth. This is why I believe it is vital to work from a strengths-based stance, and why I spend the time to assess everyone's individual talents, skills, and unique strengths. I believe diversity is beautiful, and that part of my role is to collaborate with your personal knowledges. I utilize an anti-oppressive lens to better understand how systems and power structures impact your life, and work to help you navigate this world. Everyone is deserving of supportive, safe health care.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I work with adults and teens who come to me with a variety of challenges. They may be struggling to cope with grief and loss, or are feeling confused about a relationship, or are finding anxiety increasingly hard to manage. I work with folks to bring patterns to light while building new ways of being in relationship to others and feelings together. I love working with feelings - and the people who have them. Whether your feelings are big, bold, and out loud, or you're struggling to articulate or find them, I am glad to sit with you and explore them together.
