Hello! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) who is passionate about supporting clients to navigate challenging life events, explore their identity and address mental health concerns. I am a neurodivergent, queer woman with french ancestry. I live on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Dene and Inuit peoples, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis peoples. I understand that without action, acknowledgment is meaningless and am committed to continued growth and education on how I can better respect, learn from and advocate for all Indigenous peoples.
Having struggled with identity, sexuality, self esteem, depression and anxiety from a young age, I became fascinated with learning about psychology and the nervous system to begin my healing process. I specialize in working with neurodivergent and queer communities and many other client populations. I draw from various modalities to meet your unique needs.
I support clients virtually (online via video or telephone) across Canada. I would love to get to know each other over a free 15 minute initial consultation to see if we might be a good fit to work together. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to book an initial consultation. I'm looking forward to connecting with you!

I specialize in working with neurodivergent folks and anyone in the queer community. During our initial sessions, we will get to know each other and you can share important parts of your story. As we narrow down main concerns and therapeutic goals, we will create a treatment plan together that is tailored to your needs. We will check in on these goals periodically to reflect on progress.
