I often work with LGBTQ+ folks navigating identity shifts and relationship issues; adults who realized they have ADHD later in life and are adjusting to the changes that follow; and people questioning if alcohol or other substances are holding them back from living the life they want. Many clients find that more than one of these areas fits, and that overlap is very common! I use a neurodivergent-affirming, non-judgmental, and anti-oppressive approach in my work as a counsellor, to help you figure out what doesn’t feel right anymore and create space in your life for what does.
Everyone’s story is different, and I don’t assume my experience is the same as yours; but being a queer and neurodivergent counsellor means I may already understand some of the challenges you're navigating. Many people share that this makes it easier to open up about more nuanced or complex experiences.
For individual clients and couples/partners, I offer free 15-minute consult calls so you can get to know me and see if I’m the right therapist for your needs. I believe that change is possible, but the path isn’t always straightforward. It’s never too late to rewrite your story, shift directions, or begin again - and I’m here to support you in that process!

I often support queer and trans couples navigating fluctuations in sexual desire and changes in intimacy, clients in both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, and people with ADHD and autism wanting to develop confidence and live more authentically. I use a harm reduction approach with problematic substance use, viewing it as a way that people cope, regulate their emotions, and survive.

I use different therapeutic approaches depending on my client(s) and the reasons they've come to therapy. I find myself most often drawn to those that help my clients explore their past and how it shapes them, empowers them to make meaningful changes in their lives, and consider the parts and emotional wounds that keep them feeling stuck.
