If you’re reading this, I bet you’re hoping that something might change in your life. Maybe you already know what you hope to change, or maybe you just know that something needs to be different. The fact that you’re here reading this, now, shows that something has already started to change. I’m excited to work with you to help you as you keep shifting things in your life. Together, our work will help you reconnect with yourself, and build healthier relationships with friends, family, community, work, creativity, and the natural world. This may be hard work, but I’m committed to engaging in it together with humour, hope, and joy.
I work with individuals age 12 and up, as well as couples and intimate relationships of all kinds. I have training and experience supporting queer, trans, and gender-diverse clients, as well as in navigating kink, poly, and ENM relationships. I’m particularly drawn to exploring creativity, procrastination, and self-criticism.
Our work will explore the stories you tell yourself about yourself – and rewrite them in a new way. We’ll hone in on the values that you hope to guide you through difficult times. And, we’ll help you to build the skills to be kind and compassionate to yourself as you undertake this life-changing work. I’m excited to meet you and to hear your story!

My approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Narrative Therapy. Together, we'll explore how the stories you have about yourself are affecting your life, and how to take more deliberate action based on your values. Woven through my work is an emphasis on self-compassion and caring for yourself.
