Our experiences are shaped by the weight of the systems that constrain us, which is daunting to bear alone. My approach is relational, non-pathologizing, neurodiversity and LGBTQ affirming, trauma- and structurally informed. I am a queer non-binary, disabled, and neurodivergent therapist with experience in diverse practice settings. I have supported folks from varied social, cultural and economic backgrounds navigate an array of topics like self-exploration, gender and sexuality, grief and loss, complex trauma, life transitions, neurodivergence, social inequity, disability, OCD, depression, anxiety, and substance use.
Healing is a relational process. Together, we can co-construct an intentional, safe and compassionate space that explores the complexities of life with curiosity; including the ups, downs and in-betweens. I combine techniques from different therapy styles to suit your unique needs while sprinkling creativity, humour and playfulness into the process.
It is an honour to bear witness to your (un)becoming and to work alongside you on your healing journey. I offer a free 20-minute consultation to get to know each other and to determine if we are a good match.
