I specialize in the area of gender identity. My practice focuses on providing psychotherapy for trans, non-binary and gender questioning individuals. This includes working with adults, teens and children navigating a (potential) social and medical (de)transition. My goals are to help you develop a greater self-understanding and to provide the mental health tools necessary to support you in piloting your own journey toward living as your authentic self. I also provide psychoeducation and support for family members (parents, siblings, partners) who may be struggling with a loved one's gender exploration and (de)transition.

Are you struggling with low self-esteem, or with feeling confident about your direction in life? Is a difficult memory or experience making it hard for you to stay in the moment? Do you feel burnt out, disillusioned, or disinterested in things that used to excite you?

You have taken a great step forward in seeking support. I view therapy as a very collaborative process. My goal is to be empathetic, engaging, and to provide a comfortable framework for you to explore the emotions, choices and relationships that are most important to you. Together we will develop a treatment plan that best meets your needs. My therapeutic approach is warm and non-judgmental, which I balance with direct and open conversation. I am driven in my work to empower people to discover and enhance their personal strengths, and use these skills to reach their goals.

I work with individuals and couples who feel emotionally disconnected—from themselves, their partner, or their sense of purpose. Many feel stuck in repeating patterns, unsure how to move forward, or struggling to express what they truly feel. Some are also navigating questions around faith. Together, we explore the deeper emotional patterns shaping your experiences, helping you gain clarity, strengthen connection, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I'm Phe (fee) - a Psychotherapist, CRPO-Qualified & Yorkville MACP-Approved Clinical Supervisor by day, a cat snuggling, Pokémon nerd trying to catch them all with my wife and kids by night!

I work with teens (16+) and adults, with extensive experience supporting young adults, 2SLGBTQ+ identifying folks and men, who may appear to have everything together but internally feel overwhelmed, burnt out or alone with their struggles. Many of the people I support are successful in their careers, relationships or studies, yet quietly carry anxiety, emotional shutdown, harsh self-criticism, or the lasting impact of difficult experiences. You might find yourself constantly “holding it together,” masking how much pressure you’re under, or feeling like you can’t fully open up about what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Loneliness, Social Skills, Social Anxiety -Shannon

Maybe you can be in a room full of people and still feel completely alone. You want connection, but social situations feel exhausting or frightening, so you hold back, replay what you said for hours, and wonder why making friends seems so much easier for everyone else. Loneliness can creep in after a move, a loss, a season of putting everyone else first, or years of quietly keeping people at arm's length to stay safe. It doesn't mean something is wrong with you. Connection is both a need and a skill, and both can be rebuilt.

Am I losing my mind or is this real? If this thought keeps you up at night, if you doubt your own perception or feel like whatever you do is wrong—that's not a personal failure. What you're experiencing has a name, a pattern, and a logic.
Here, you can name what's happening out loud without questioning if you're exaggerating. We'll make sense of it together. I work with narcissistic abuse and complex trauma because generic advice "just set boundaries" won't solve your situation. This is where gaslighting confusion gets deactivated, you regain trust in what you see, and you get to choose from clarity, even when chaos is still there.

Would you consider yourself an over thinker, hyper-independent, or consider yourself a "people pleaser"? Are you currently trying to put together a complex puzzle and feeling like you don't even know what or where the pieces are? Often times, it is those who believe they are highly reflective and introspective who may benefit from therapy the most. As a psychotherapist, I bring a unique blend of authenticity and deep compassion to the therapeutic space so that you can come exactly as you are and see a glimpse of a different way of thinking.

Do you and your partner keep having the same arguments without ever feeling heard or understood? Maybe communication quickly turns into conflict, trust has been broken, or you're navigating separation, divorce, or preparing for marriage. Stress, anxiety, or depression may also be affecting your relationship, leaving you feeling distant or frustrated. Maybe you know that something needs to change but aren’t sure where to start. If you want calmer conversations, stronger communication, and a relationship that feels more secure and connected, therapy can help you build the skills to get there.

You’re looking for more than tools, you want to understand what’s really happening, and find lasting change.

Do you feel like you're always saying yes when you want to say no, replaying every conversation in your head, heart pounding over things that shouldn't feel this big? Maybe you grew up disappearing at the sound of footsteps, always scanning, bracing, reading the room before you could read words. Now you're the reliable one overachieving, over functioning, trying to prevent disaster before it hits. You’ve done the apps, the books, the deep breaths, the cold plunges, maybe a few glasses of wine to quiet the noise. But inside, you're frozen. Longing for something you’ve never fully had: a nervous system that feels safe and like home

Life doesn't always go according to plan, and sometimes it falls apart entirely.
