New clients welcome! I enjoy working with people who have had long-term mental health struggles and a history of trauma. The people I see are often struggling with understanding the impact of childhood wounds, stressful relationships involving difficulties with intimacy or autonomy, coping with the after-effects of sexual violence and feeling stuck in emotions such as shame and loneliness. These people may be trying to reconcile their values and desired way of being in the world with intense reactions that seem to come out of the blue. I also support people around gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, and non-monogamy.
I understand that the relationship between client and therapist is the primary catalyst for change. I incorporate a strength-based, individually tailored, authentic and compassionate approach. I work from an attachment-based trauma treatment perspective that focuses on the mind-body connection.
I truly understand what it's like to be searching for a welcoming therapeutic space in which all aspects of your identity can feel seen and celebrated. With 10+ years in LGBTQ advocacy work and 7 years in the mental health field, I am honoured to cultivate this kind of space with clients who are seeking relief from their mental health struggles.
