My intention is to provide individuals and partner(s) a brave space that is validating, respectful and empowering while working to challenge undesirable thoughts and emotions. My aim is to facilitate difficult or uncomfortable conversations to restore self-worth, confidence and peace. I believe that by rejecting and unlearning oppressive ways of thinking about ourselves and our relationships, we can move toward connection and understanding. I honour and value all sexual expressions and identities, and am non-monogamy inclusive, kink-familiar and a sex work advocate.

Ready for something else? Life, and our relationships, can be messy, complicated, filled with emotions, and sometimes hard to navigate. If you seek help in making sense of your own past experiences or are ready to create new experiences (or identity) for yourself...you are in the right place.

Would you like to feel more comfortable with yourself? Are you, or you and your partner(s) finding yourselves stuck in a negative cycle of interaction? Are you hoping to revive the once had connection you experienced when you first met, but in turn are constantly fighting or experiencing mismatched sexual desires? From a sex positive framework, I work with individuals, couples and partnerships struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, communication challenges and sexual intimacy, to uncover obstacles that are blocking you from living more freely and authentically!

I am a sex and intimacy counsellor and educator. My approach is sex positive and practical. I provide guidance to improve the sex and intimate life for those single or coupled, of all genders and sexual orientations. My therapeutic approach involves mindfulness, relaxation (CBT), pleasure orientation and somatic awareness. I offer teachings that bring attention to choice and desire, that gives voice to clarity around needs and requests and that centres the requirement of true consent in the sex and intimacy realm. I am a certified Somatic Sex Educator with a masters degree in Educational Leadership, a former nurse and social worker.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist, MMFT, Sex Therapist and Certified Imago Relationship Therapist working with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents in private practice for over 25 years.

One of the hardest things to say/admit is 'I/we need help'. It takes courage, openness, trust and self-awareness, which can be difficult to foster on our own. Whether you need tools for symptom management (anxiety, depression, nervous system dysregulation, people pleasing behaviours, trauma responses, addictions, relational distress) or you want to deep dive into past experiences for better understanding and meaning, we can work towards developing a treatment plan that helps you create the life you want going forward. Develop the "life hacks" you need to bounce back from challenges with grace and grit!

I love working with individuals and couples on a variety of issues and topics. I am passionate about therapy and creating a safe space that is inclusive and affirming of LGBTQIA2S+, BDSM, kink, and non-monogamy—one that is sex positive and non-judgmental. Another passion of mine is therapy for youth and creating a space that children and adolescents can feel safe to be themselves and express their creativity while learning coping strategies & building self-esteem. Each person has their own unique intersectionality of characteristics, and I want you to feel safe to be yourself.

Life can be difficult, and we all stumble at times. I think that one of the bravest things a person can do when they are struggling is to seek help. At the heart of psychotherapy is change. Whether your struggle is centered around relational issues/conflict, trauma/loss, an important life transition, addiction, sexuality issues, depression, stress, anxiety, or feeling stuck, your commitment to change is your ticket to feeling better.

Is there a gap between where you feel you are now, and where you want to be? We all have times in our lives when we feel things just aren't working anymore. If you desire connection and a place to feel understood, gain insights, and make changes, take the first step, and call for an appointment. There are many times in our lives when therapy can make a big difference. Suffering is a fact of life, but there is a way out of suffering. If you are interested in taking that journey, I can point you in the right direction, and walk with you for a time.

Reaching out for help is difficult yet you have made it this far! That is a very good sign! You might be feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you or your loved ones.

You might be feeling ready to unveil those parts of you you have never shared with anybody else in your life. You might be looking for some tools to help you be in charge of your well-being. You might be feeling ambivalent about the whole business of therapy but still want to give it a shot!
