My website

I am a neurodivergent, queer woman with a keen eye for the social determinants of mental health. My approach is rooted in empathy and warmth, and I come from a place of non-judgment, compassion, and celebration of your resiliency. Be prepared to laugh when you didn't expect to, and to have a meaningful time rewriting your story with me! Populations that I work with include Indigenous Canadians, LGBTQIA2+ persons, trans-identified and nonbinary people and their families (including chosen families), and clients with a history of trauma. I love working with youth, adults, and relationships (including non-monogamous folks).

In terms of treatment, my areas of specialty include ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, body image, self-esteem, neurodivergent coping strategies, grief, trauma, and navigating gender and sexual identities. My approach is always trauma-informed, intersectional, and cognizant of power structures and the social determinants of health.

My treatment modalities are diverse, and I will work with you to find your unique mix of approaches. These include Trauma Informed, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, Solutions Focused and Recovery focused models of treatment. We will find your strengths, and help you to build those strengths back up!
