I know what it's like to need support and not be sure how to access it. It can be overwhelming to reach out for help, to meet someone new and find the words to express what you are feeling. The majority of my clients are autistic and neurodivergent, and many are part of the LGBTQIA community. Many are navigating difficult situations in school, work or with family/friends. . I am currently working at Act Learning Centre and am on the external provider list for National Defense.
Approved Supervisor for Yorkville Masters of Counselling Program.

I work with couples and individuals, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, facing intimacy challenges, communication breakdowns, and complex relationship dynamics. My clients often seek to rebuild trust, enhance sexual satisfaction, or resolve conflicts.

Sometimes we find ourselves entangled in threads of emotions. Whether its grief, anger, unspoken guilt, or unexplained fear. We find ourselves stuck in relationships that are no longer serving our wellbeing. We get lost with no visible exit. And at times, the shadows of our past traumas loom large, casting over our present, shaping the way we feel, act, and relate to the world.

Immediate availability for January 2025. Booking for virtual and in-person services- evenings and weekends are available. Option to schedule sessions directly through my website! Life can get overwhelming, particularly when we believe that we must always keep it together. The pressure, the stress, the expectations- it's just too heavy, too much. The truth is, we're not meant to carry it all with us everywhere we go. Often, we don't know how to put it down, take a break, or let ourselves breathe. It can feel challenging, even scary, to unlearn these patterns and develop a new relationship with ourselves.

Are you feeling disconnected and disoriented about how to move forward in your life? Perhaps change has swept through your world and left you in disarray, picking up the pieces and trying to return to a time or place when you felt you had it all together and you knew who you were. Whether it’s an identity crisis, a struggle to adapt to a new role or a profound sense of loss, change often happens in ways that can leave us feeling disempowered and alienated from our own lives. While distressing, change can often be a powerful time to reinvent ourselves in a more authentic way. Psychotherapy and inner work are a pathway through.

I understand that life can be filled with unforeseen obstacles and difficulties and believe that by providing an environment centered around genuineness, empathy, and acceptance, you may feel safe to deepen your experiences and create opportunities for change.
