I work with individuals and couples 18 years of age and older. I specialize in supporting individuals who are struggling with substance use, addiction, self-harm and self-esteem. My work with addiction and substance use is informed not only by my training, but also my own lived experience.

I draw on the commonalities that exist between counselling approaches, and am aligned with anti-oppression perspectives. Through a combination of deeply introspective, pragmatic, and somatic practices, I help clients find greater self-compassion, security in their relationships, and grow towards deeper purpose and fulfillment in their lives. I'm a good fit for working through issues related to queerness, addiction, loss, shame, or physical health. If you have little or no coverage, I am confident that we can make something work.

With over 25 years of experience as a therapist in the mental health field, I believe the most crucial aspect of therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. I prioritize understanding your perspective and supporting your personal growth from there. Mental health challenges often lead to avoidance, which can complicate and diminish life satisfaction over time. It can be tough to get out of bed or complete daily tasks, but my training and experience equip me to help you reclaim a fulfilling life.

Let’s be honest: the world is a dumpster fire right now. Climate catastrophe causes water shortages and wildfires. The implosion of capitalism, which never worked for most of us in the first place, leads to high living costs and an increase in poverty. There’s ramped up rhetoric hating on immigrants, BIPOC, and trans folks. There are ongoing genocides, rollbacks on basic human rights, and politicians who seem hopelessly out of touch with All. The. Things. Meanwhile, we’re supposed to keep on keepin’ on, pretending everything’s fine while somehow also navigating our own individual life challenges, problems, and concerns. It's a lot.

In the words of a wise 90's pop singer, "Everybody hurts, sometimes," and so often, we cannot control the difficulties that come our way. When suffering shows up (for example, depressed mood, anxiety, self-esteem or relationship problems), we can develop unhelpful coping strategies, behaviours, or symptoms that further complicate our lives and drain us of joy, energy, and serenity. However, I believe we are all born with an innate ability to heal, grow, and thrive in the face of adversity, and my goal is to help my clients activate this ability.

I work with athletes to help them reach their full potential. If your child struggles with anxiety, confidence, or managing emotions, I could help. I work with a lot of athletes that struggle with the high demands of playing competitive sport while juggling both school, family and social life.

The painful events we experience can have a lasting impact on our mental health, our relationships, and how we feel about ourselves and the world around us. This is the understanding from which I center my practice. I aim to help clients better understand their inner experiences, attend to their own needs, and to heal from the past.

My work as a therapist is grounded by my belief in the inherent dignity of all people, the wisdom of our bodies, and our innate capacity to heal. I often work with people who might want to believe these things, too, but struggle to find hope after experiences of trauma or distress. I believe that therapy can help us learn to move through the world with more ease, presence, and compassion (for self and others). As a queer and non-binary therapist, I have a special place in my heart for queer and trans clients. I aim to offer a counselling experience that is safe and that does not require you to justify or explain your identity.

You may face sadness, worry, repetitive thoughts, following experiences that are tough to talk about, violence and trauma resulting in numbness, isolation. Maybe you want to dig deeper, to better understand these events and how they are impacting your life now.

I am trained to work creatively with folks who are in the midst of life’s challenges, to help them process and cope with their emotions. I know how to work with trauma, survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, depression and anxiety.

My therapeutic process is guided by the belief that we all have the capacity to heal and transform through curiosity and creative practices that bring us back into connection with ourselves, the land and each other.
