I'm Shay, and I'm so glad you're here! If you're healing from sexual assault or abuse - I can help you understand your brain and body's response to trauma, find your voice, and reclaim pleasure. If you're questioning your gender or sexuality - I am a trans, queer therapist offering an affirming space to explore and embrace your truest self, and access gender-affirming care. You're in the right place - together we can find ways to calm your mind and body, deepen your self-understanding, and discover what brings you joy. I'd be honoured to help you navigate this journey with compassion, connection, and a healthy dose of laughter.
You can expect me to show up with curiosity, compassion, mindfulness, humour, and a deep love for this work. In our sessions, I strive to be trauma-informed, client-centred, relationship-focused, flexible, and collaborative. I blend aspects of narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, neuroscience, and somatics in my practice.
Struggling is a natural, and challenging part of being human. You don't have to go through it alone - we can navigate the messiness of healing and being human, together. If my approach resonates with you, please reach out to schedule a free consultation! I'd love to connect and explore how I can support you.
