Therapists in K2P
Are you a member of the LGBTQ2IA+ community and looking to develop a more loving and compassionate relationship with yourself? Are you being held back by your past, anxiety, or self-esteem issues while fighting an uphill battle to achieve the life that you want? Do you ever wonder if life should really be this hard? As members of the LGBTQ2IA+ community, we are experiencing increasing rates of problematic anxiety, self-esteem issues, and trauma. Although I see many clients who struggle with these issues, each of their stories are different, and each person requires and deserves special attention in order to be met where they’re at.

I believe therapy can be an insightful and empowering experience. You might be feeling unfulfilled in your relationships and wish for deeper connection and happiness. As a sensitive person, you feel things deeply and the weight of the world around you might feel heavy right now. You might be feeling burned out or not like yourself lately. I’m here to show you that support is within reach. You do not have to walk this path alone. As your therapist, I believe in your resilience. Working with me, you can expect a collaborative and compassionate approach to defining your therapeutic goals and building a plan towards a better future.

I am a current Board Member of CAPT (Canadian Association of Psychodynamic Therapists). I've come to this professional life as a therapist after years as an English instructor (ESL), server, and professional musician. Many of us these days are feeling depressed and/or anxious about life and how to move forward. I know that it requires courage to trust another with your story, but there is so much to be gained from speaking about it. Together, we can work to discover a deeper sense and better understanding of who you are as a person. When you're ready, I'll be ready as well and we can work to change your life for the better.

I believe our bodies tell us important information and we need to listen to its unspoken voice. Through a somatic and humanistic approach of mind-body connection and embodiment practices, I work with clients to gently unlock trauma and shame to help them gain clarity, increase creativity, and move toward a more fulfilling and peaceful life. Attachment theory, family systems, narrative therapy, and emotionally focused therapy can also be integrated and will be fostered depending on the unique needs of the client.

Sometimes, life’s experiences can derail our foundation, and we can find ourselves lost, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed. We may think we are alone and find it hard to reach out for support. It takes courage to take that step, to reach out and realize we are not alone and that there are others along the path here to support us. I am one of those people on the path of life who would be honoured to join and walk with you on your unique healing journey. You are not alone.

Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, that sense of accomplishment never comes? It's as if the bar for success keeps getting pushed higher and higher, leaving you never feeling good enough. You’re always anxious that those around you will realize that you have no idea what you are doing and that you’re unfit for the job. You constantly doubt yourself, replay mistakes over and over in your head, and search for validation from others. You are ready to start feeling good about yourself, to say no to others, and stop shying away from risks. You shouldn’t have to go through life feeling bad about yourself. It is time to flourish.

Relationships can be challenging, whether with family, friends, or co-workers. The same conflicts seem to keep repeating themselves with no sense of relief or resolution. I specialize in working with relationships - with family, friends, coworkers, spouses/ partners, dating. I treat individuals looking to understand/ heal themselves in relation to self and others, and couples seeking solutions and communication skills. Imagine a life where you look forward to uplifting conversations and time spent with loved ones, rather than rehashing the same old arguments and misunderstandings day after day.
