I'm so glad you are here, and I hope to share a little about how I work and a little about myself along the way as well. I truly believe that fit is one of the most important parts about therapy & getting started can be often be one of the toughest parts. I am Registered Social Worker (RSW in both BC & ON) & Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and have been working in various counselling roles over the past 10 years. I work from an intersectional feminist lens and notice the impact of gender, ableism, class, sexual orientation, race & socioeconomic status can have on mental health. I truly believe that 'feminism is for everybody'.
Clients describe me as compassionate, inviting and with a good sense of humour. Our work together may include strengthening coping strategies for mood challenges (such as depression/anxiety), navigating boundaries, identity, building self compassion, healing from painful experiences from the past or just creating a safe space to be heard, seen & validated.
I work with individuals (adults, and youth 15 years+) and relationship clients. I am an LGBTQ2SIA and poly-friendly counsellor who is openly childfree. I am an intersectional feminist therapist who integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Queer Theory, Self Compassion, ACT & Narrative Therapy into sessions. Would love to connect to share more!

These are the different treatment types I use in my practice. During the first few sessions, i'll get to know you better and see which model may feel like a good fit in light of your therapy goals and wishes - as part of my practice, I continue to check in with clients to see if we are on the best path for them, and we can always change the type of therapy model and explore something new anytime.
