My approach is relational, trauma- and attachment-informed, and client-centred.
I believe therapy can be a safe and creative space for self-exploration and discovery! Whether you are experiencing relational or mental/physical health challenges, processing a recent diagnosis, or discovering your unique and preferred Self, I am here to support you in a compassionate and affirming way. As a queer, neuro-divergent woman (she/her), I believe in the value of shared humanity, inclusivity, empathy, and empowerment in the therapy space. I aim to create a welcoming, collaborative atmosphere where you can develop coping tools & move toward your goals with intention.

Grief is unique for every individual. There are many different losses that individuals experience, but the commonality is that grief can be debilitating, lonely and isolating. I accompany clients on their journey of processing multiple forms of grief that can include death loss, pet loss, traumatic loss and/or chronic sorrow. I offer in-person, virtual and telephone sessions. I also am available to provide support to clients in a counselling capacity specific to mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, self esteem, family conflict).

Many of my clients would describe themselves as living in a world that was not built for them. You might be struggling with big emotions or feel things deeply. You may be looking for a therapist who appreciates that your anxiety might show up in therapy. I spend the time building a connection with each client on their own terms and I'm willing to step into your world. If you relate to any of this, we might be a good fit. Many of my clients have trialed other therapists and are looking for someone with lived experience of neurodivergence. I have a casual, conversational style and show up as my authentic self.

I am an AuDHD non-binary lesbian therapist that operates an intersectional, anti-racist 2SLGBTQ+ and neurodiversity-affirming practice. I know from experience that growing up neurodivergent can often be traumatic, and made even harder when you are undiagnosed, unsupported, or experiencing gender or race-based discrimination. Identifying as neurodivergent and unmasking as an adult can be freeing, confusing, scary, and can bring up past traumas. I can help you explore your values and intersecting identities, build self-compassion, set boundaries, identify needs and accommodations, and heal from complex traumas.

Relational Counsellors

How does relational therapy work?

Relational therapy was developed by psychologist Jean Miller, whose ideas stressed that having strong connections with others encourages better health and well-being when compared with a lonely existence. Conversely, poor interpersonal relationships do not foster growth and learning. Relational therapy also encourages trust in others and patience with others, along with better communication and less conflict.

Is relational therapy evidence-based?

Relational therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioural or acceptance and commitment therapy. However, relational therapy uses techniques found in cognitive behavioural therapy as well as psychodynamic therapy, which are both well-studied with empirical research.

How long are people typically in relational therapy?

Clients may see improvement after a few weeks or months of therapy. Like cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy can reduce symptoms within 10 to 20 weeks, at 45 to 50 minutes once a week. But like any type of therapy, improvement depends on the person and the severity of the problem.

Does relational therapy work?

While no therapy type will work for everyone, some evidence suggests that this therapy can be effective. Relational therapy can help a person manage problematic relationships as well as the mental health conditions that accompany difficult relationships like depression or anxiety. This therapy type may offer benefits that are hard to measure but can be just as valuable—including feelings of higher self-worth or healthier connections with others.
