Strained relationships; overwhelming anxiety; existential loneliness; chronic shame; feeling inherently broken and unlovable; burnout: if you are neurodiverse, these experiences may be familiar to you. The good news? You don’t have to feel that way forever. You can have a life where you feel connected to the world around you, nurture happy and healthy relationships, and communicate through overwhelm and activation. I provide counselling for individuals and couples struggling with trauma and related conflict/communication issues, attachment/relational wounds, burnout, and grief. I also work with queer and non-monogamous couples.
As a queer, autistic, ADHDer therapist, I’m committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for you to process trauma and improve your relationships. My approach attends to power and structural inequity, and is intersectional, strengths-based, and person-centred, as well as grounded in queer and feminist principles, and anti-oppressive practice.
Even though life might be messy and difficult right now, your future is full of beautiful possibilities for connection, healing, and growth. If you would like to learn more about me or my approach, you can check out my website and book a free 20-minute consultation to talk about your goals. I look forward to connecting with you!

My approach begins with creating a trusting, therapeutic rapport so we can create a container for you to explore your experiences in a safer way. By taking a queer and relational approach, we'll look at how interpersonal and structural power dynamics have shaped your experiences. I take a person-centred approach that puts you in control of our work together.
