Lesbian Therapists in N6C

I support people in exploring what it means to live authentically to themselves. We can explore topics of anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, neurodiversity, family/relationship issues, sexuality, and gender. In the past, I have had the honour of working as a sex, kink and BDSM educator, teaching workshops with a focus on communication, harm-reduction, and pleasure. Other topics of interest have included radical body acceptance, navigating non-monogamy, and dating. My work is rooted in anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, intersectional feminist values. I am a queer person and second-generation settler with arab ancestry.

Do the words "highly sensitive" resonate with you? Do you feel misunderstood by others in your life? Feel that the world is too busy or too overwhelming for your system? As a highly sensitive soul myself- I get it! I support highly sensitive and neurodivergent young adults who struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, finding self-compassion and navigating the day to day as a highly sensitive person. Let’s work together to find your voice and walk towards authenticity. A life where you feel empowered in your sensitivity, worth and values. A life where there is intentional space for calm, confidence and compassion.

When we aren't feeling like the best version of ourselves, it's tough to engage in our lives and relationships in the way we would like to; our daily stress adds up and pulls us away from the things and people that are important to us. Whether little things in your life are piling up and becoming overwhelming or you are in the midst of a major life transition, accessing support is an important first step to living a values-driven life. Dedicating time and space to process our thoughts with an unbiased listener can build the insight we need to thrive.

I provide my clients with a safe, welcoming and judge-free environment to discuss their most personal and intimate life struggles. Im honoured they trust me to help guide them. My focus is on helping people build healthy relationships, because when our connections are authentic we thrive. What’s more, our sense of love and belonging is fundamental to reaching our potential. In my 10 years of private practice, I’ve noticed people generally struggle with effective communication, lack of healthy boundaries, assertiveness and most of us question our intuition. I have experience in individual, couple, and family counselling.

Has life been feeling confusing and overwhelming? In recognizing the courage needed to ask for support, it would be an honour to walk alongside you on your journey. My approach is grounded in creating an empathetic and nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences. In my practice, I believe in meeting individuals wherever they are in their lives. Whether you're navigating relationships and life’s transitions, coping with stress, or seeking reflection and healing, I am here to offer an affirming space to gain insight and uncover your internal strengths.

People often seek out therapy to work on their problems when really, it's their solutions that are no longer working. Does this sound familiar? As a skilled therapist, I will partner with you to clarify what is important and help you design creative, meaningful and lasting change in your life. In our work together, you will notice that I am very encouraging, and I will challenge you when you look like you could use it. Together we will create a space where you can bravely experience the sometimes-uncomfortable feelings that come with personal growth.

Trauma therapy. Although you can't heal past trauma on your own, I believe I can help you. I have more than ten years experience dealing with trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, and sexual assault. I'm a former hospital chaplain for the Emergency, Intensive Care, and Burn Units, and I've written about trauma (including an invited paper) for major psychology journals. Academic articles have cited me almost 4,000 times.

Processing your thoughts and emotions can be challenging and often leaves people feeling lost and alone. What if you could have a safe place, free of judgement to share your story. Often, emotional difficulties such as anxiety and depression are related to deeper issues that have not yet been resolved. Together, we will explore issues that have left you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed and begin your journey towards growth and well-being. Whether you have had a traumatic experience, are experiencing emotional difficulties, are stressed out and struggling with setting boundaries, I believe healing is within reach.

Accepting New Clients. Living with chronic pain/illness is a full-time job in and of itself and that can take a serious toll on your mental health. Perhaps you're struggling with motivation, identity or direction after a recent diagnosis or life transition, or you're feeling burnt out juggling all the responsibilities in your life with little time for self-care. Life can be so hard at times, and it can be easy to forget our resilience and capacity to overcome obstacles. Sometimes we just need a little extra support.
