Do you struggle with long-term depression, a sense of feeling trapped in low mood or dysthymia which previous therapies have not been able to shift? Maybe you diligently practice cognitive-behaviour or other therapy techniques but find you're not able to shift your mood in a more lasting way? Maybe you do all the right things, like exercise, friendships, enjoyable work, good diet, yet still suffer from pesky low mood swings and bouts of accompanied anxiety? Or maybe you function well on a day-to-day basis but find you are "distant" from experience, like as if there is a glass wall between you and the pleasant moments of life?

Welcome! I am a trauma-informed Psychotherapist, Social Worker who works collaboratively to offer a client-centred approach promoting self-determination and autonomy. I draw from modalities I have trained extensively in including Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, while combining internal family systems and mindfulness. I offer a non-judgemental space that is centred around your whole self, allowing you to explore your goals, identity, and strengths in order to heal, manage, process traumatic experiences and most importantly thrive. My approach is rooted in abolition, anti-oppression, pro-sex work, decolonization and harm reduction.

Life can be hard. Whether it is life transitions, stressors, illness, or any perceived limitation, we will all struggle, experience pain, sorrow, and discomfort. The question is, how do we support ourselves during difficult times? What type of relationship would we like to have with ourselves, others, and the world on the winding path of life? I believe psychotherapy connects us with our strengths, values, and compassion we need to live a more fulfilling, meaningful, and authentic life, despite obstacles we all encounter. It helps guide us toward approaching life with an open heart.

Life can feel difficult and quite overwhelming at times. You may be feeling “stuck” in a particular situation, experienced a traumatic event, lacking motivation or confidence, struggling with a relationship, suffering from depression and/or anxiety, or feeling disconnected from others. If any of these situations sound familiar to you, know that you are not alone. Times of adversity are also times of growth, and with appropriate support, even the most difficult of situations can be used as an opportunity to become a better version of yourself!

Navigating mental health struggles in young adulthood can often feel overwhelming and isolating. As a queer individual, my lived experiences have shaped my approach, allowing me to offer a warm, compassionate, and understanding perspective. As a counsellor, this enables me to create a non-judgmental, thoughtful space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and not alone.

Hey there! Finding a therapist you connect with can be a daunting task, but it’s worth it once you find that person you feel comfortable with and can trust. My own approach is warm, relaxed, and collaborative. I make sure that you have space in sessions to share whatever is on your mind while also ensuring that we have continuity between sessions and are working toward your goals. I always strive to create a space that feels open and non-judgemental, and I work from a client-centred and trauma-informed perspective.

Throughout our sessions, I strive to create an environment of compassion, acceptance, and present moment awareness. I don't see myself as fundamentally different from the client, but rather as someone who can bring a fresh perspective to their situation. I believe that the client and I are both climbing our own mountains, and I can use my vantage point to identify obstacles on their mountain that they may not be aware of. In therapy, every struggle is important, and no one's pain is greater or less than another's. Together, we can then find new ways to navigate these obstacles and chart a new course towards a more fulfilling life.
