Our lives can be filled with pleasure and wonder, as well as turmoil and pain. Hurdles can arise that lead to challenging ways of living. If your experiences with friends, relationships, sex, and intimacy have made life difficult, be comforted there's hope: we’ll work together toward a path of healing that's creative and unique. I don't subscribe to pathologizing a person’s experiences; my passion lies with helping others safely and curiously navigate what is happening in their lives.
I’ve been in the sexuality space for over 15 years, and am also happy to work with those looking for ways to address broader issues. With experience in Film & TV, I can help industry members with the stress of setlife. I'm sexwork-, kink-, & Poly/NM-informed & involved. In Toronto, I offer Walk & Talk therapy & forest bathing, taking therapy out into nature.
I enjoy engaging with a variety of clients and learning about experiences, cultures, & identities different to mine. Taking the journey toward change is something we can do together. As a member of the queer community, I aim to provide safer spaces for people to explore themselves and their needs when it can be difficult to find that space elsewhere.

I borrow heavily from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) because of its non-judgemental view on emotions: rather than work on blocking them ('I want to avoid feeing X'), ACT sees emotions as inevitable, as part of who we are, as information that guides us. Learning to successfully navigate with them is part of creating a rich, meaningful life.
