Hello! I am queer, transgender, autistic, and have ADHD. Because of these intersecting identities, I understand that every client has their own unique needs. I want to meet you where you are at. It is my job to meet you where you are and work with your needs. I am warm and empathetic, and I create a safe, judgment-free space for you to open up at your own pace. As someone who has accessed mental health services, I know how important it is to feel heard and supported by your therapist. That is exactly what I do in my practice! Book a free consultation today!

I began studying mental health and psychology 12 years ago at the University of Waterloo where my passion bloomed. I have gained invaluable experience at the reputable mental health agencies including Lutherwood and CMHA. I offer free, 15 minute consultations so you can be sure you feel good about our therapeutic relationship before we begin. :)
Others often describe me as being warm, open, understanding and comforting. With every client, I want to ensure that I make the therapeutic space uniquely comfortable for their individual needs and requests. I can help you process and talk through day to day stress, neurodiversity, gender identity, sexuality or support you in healing from traumatic events.
