I’m a queer, neurodivergent therapist who primarily works with adolescents, adults and those in both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships.
As an anti-oppressive counsellor I have a deep appreciation of how people with marginalized identities struggle to navigate systems that make it difficult to simply exist. Together we can look at how to best survive, thrive and heal within and beyond these systems. I draw on somatic therapy, DBT, CBT, attachment theory, and Internal Family Systems.

I support those struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, addiction, and major life transitions, using a trauma-informed, queer-affirming, and client-centered approach.
Before becoming a counsellor, I ran a wellness business specializing in Reflexology and Reiki. This experience strengthened my ability to offer support, lead workshops, and collaborate with holistic providers. It also deepened my understanding of how trauma can manifest in the body and how energy healing supports emotional release and balance.

As an Indigenous therapist who is also a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally grounded space for healing.
Grounded in Two-Eyed Seeing, my approach recognizes that healing is not a "one size fits all" solution. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and lived experiences. I strive to create a safe, culturally responsive space where your voice is heard, your experiences are honored, and you feel supported and empowered in your healing journey.

It's hard to navigate through life with feelings of anxiety & depression, relationship issues, the inability to set proper boundaries with others, or struggling with low-self worth. Our life experiences can have an effect on us in unexpected ways. The feelings of sadness, anxiousness, overwhelm, distress or being stuck can seem to have a life of their own, causing us to feel helpless, frustrated or confused. I want you to know that you're not alone & there are ways through counselling to help support you in finding your way again. My goal is to help clients get to the root of their struggles and to develop a healthy sense of self.

LGBTQ+ Counsellors
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialised training, either during their degree programme or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalisation in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialised training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
