Using a client-centred, feminist and strength-based approach, I work to create a safe and collaborative space.
The heart of my practice is believing that the client is the expert of themselves. I believe that everyone has the answers within themselves and that my role, along with creative expression, is to help you find those answers. Combining counselling and creative expression is a way for clients to develop a better understanding of their inner self as well as address underlying conflicts.

I offer creative and somatic approaches (which include Art Therapy and EMDR) for individuals and groups from a you-centered, feminist lens.
Reaching out for therapy is courageous. Showing up is enough! I can additionally offer empathy, non-judgmental compassionate care, recommendations, resources and skills to enhance your therapeutic journey. I will assist you in exploring challenges creatively through processing unresolved trauma, learning how to trust yourself, discovering your inner resources, understanding and meeting your needs, and in setting boundaries that align with your needs, goals, and values. My hope above all, is to meet you where you are at, in the pace that works for you, so you feel safe, understood and heard.

I take a trauma-informed, relational, feminist approach to my work.
Starting therapy with someone new can be tough. Finding the right therapist for you can be even tougher. I've worked with clients who have bounced around a lot, who are looking for someone who makes them feel heard, seen, and understood. If you want a safer, inclusive, non-judgmental person to offer some support with your challenges and goals, I'd love to meet you.

I believe in personalizing and customizing treatments plans to meet the needs of the individual client, rather than trying to fit all clients into one or two psychotherapy modes. I work in partnership with clients to assist them in prioritizing and exploring their issues, in a safe, positive, environment. Treatment plans are flexible, evolving with the needs of the individual person. Appointment times and dates are also very flexible, with evening appointments available as needed.

I've been working in the mental health field for over 10 years now and know the importance of finding a counsellor you can connect with. I’m a couples counsellor who also works with individuals in a variety of topics. Many folks come to see me for my experience in the queer / 2slgbtqia+ community; which often has overlap with those who are neurodivergent, as well as exploration outside of a monogamous dynamic (ENM/poly). That said, I work with a variety of individuals in topics - just scroll down to ‘Specialities & Expertise’. My goal is to start by creating a foundation of trust and then customizing techniques to best support you.

Over the past ten years I have worked in various psychological environments including secure mental health facilities, hospitals, schools, and private practice settings. My personal experiences with debilitating anxiety, depression, and ADHD over the years ultimately led to my decision to become a clinical psychologist. Experiencing these conditions first hand and personally utilizing their various treatment methods, adds an additional layer of expertise and understanding that surpasses what can be learned from a textbook or classroom setting.

How does feminist therapy work?
Feminist therapy sessions are not only personal but often cultural or political in nature, as the approach is based on the belief that people are affected by, and often struggle with, cultural and societal norms and biases, and need to move beyond those external pressures or stressors to tap their own confidence and engage more fully in their own identity. Sessions may therefore include discussions of sexism, diversity, and gender issues and talk of steps toward greater empowerment for patients who believe they have been silenced and seek to raise their voices.
What are examples of feminist therapy techniques?
Along with traditional talk therapy and analysis, a feminist therapist may employ techniques such as role-playing and assertiveness training to help clients build their self-esteem so that they feel they can act freely, and not based on cultural expectations or gender roles dictated by others. A feminist therapist may also engage in bibliotherapy, offering suggested readings on gender identity or social power inequities as they work toward viewing mental-health concerns through a broad cultural lens before focusing on how they affect the individual. Somatic therapy techniques, with an emphasis on body awareness, self-compassion, and mindfulness practices are also often part of feminist therapist practice.
How long does feminist therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for feminist therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. It may take some time to become comfortable discussing personal issues, but once a client feels they can do so, they could expect therapy to last for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
Does feminist therapy work?
As a relatively recent therapeutic technique, there is not yet a body of evidence proving the efficacy of feminist therapy. However, the approach is based on proven core principles of talk therapy, with a particular emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship based on equality and authentic connection between therapist and client and discovering and building on clients’ personal strengths to help them gain a greater sense of personal power and agency.
