Relationships can bring us immense joy as well as incredible pain. Sometimes the way we have been doing things isn't working and it's hard to know where to go next. I work with clients who are experiencing tough transitions, parenthood and family planning, exploring gender, queerness, or dealing with the pain that comes with anxiety, grief, and loss. I seek to support clients to connect with their authentic voice, and to try new things- to discover what might possible for them in relationships with others, and with themselves. My practice is guided by anti-oppressive, trauma informed, and harm reduction principles.

In supporting individuals of all ages, I find that the most courageous people I’ve met are often those who don’t feel very courageous at all. The fact that you may be sitting here thinking, “How can I change things?” or “Where do I start?" takes courage... and so much more. It has likely taken sleepless nights, days of feeling out of control, lost hope, depleted motivation, never-ending worry and overthinking, self-criticism, and unbearable pain of living through the unimaginable. Maybe you've already put in countless hours towards creating change to make sense of what has happened to you or to answer questions of where to go next.

Personal relationships, anxiety/fear/depression and trauma are my main areas of interest. Each of these can negatively influence and impede us from making positive changes in our lives. It is my belief that our well being is founded, first and foremost, on empathetic, supportive, relationships. Therefore, our work together, whether one to one or with your partner or another family member, will in part, entail an exploration of patterns of behaviour, coping mechanisms and major life events that help answer the questions 'how did I get here?' and 'why do I feel so bad?'
