My work as a therapist is informed by human resilience and our intrinsic drive to heal. I believe that we are oriented towards growth, and the integration of trauma, life experience and pain is the doorway to actualization. I see therapy as a tool for becoming, it is process of unfolding, discovering and meeting yourself. This work can be challenging: struggle is part of the human experience, however, so is transformation, connection, and change. I work closely with those who have experienced trauma, disordered eating and body image issues, and anxiety and depression.

Whether you are struggling with ADHD, anxiety or trauma, I am here to help you understand what is happening in your inner world and make deep and lasting changes. When we understand the symptoms as ways we learned to cope with our challenges, the symptoms become helpful communicators of underlying emotional wounds and fears that drive these patterns.

When I first meet new clients and we talk about what’s bringing them into counselling, they share issues of negative self-talk or worry, people pleasing, difficulties with emotions or motivation, feeling stuck, or challenges in their relationships. It can be confusing or unclear about know how to deal with these things and people can even be skeptical about being able to make change. I whole heartedly believe we are able to move through challenging emotions, shift personal trauma and change unhelpful relationship patterns to find joy, resilience, and authentic living.

Welcome! Are you looking for guidance in your journey? Sometimes speaking with someone can help us all achieve some direction, purpose, deeper understanding or simply some grounding. If you're searching for someone that can guide you to a deeper self-discovery, growth or confidence in going against the stereotypical story - you've found me. I am a polyamory/ethical non-monogamy affirming, sex-positive, anti-oppressive counsellor. I am available for individual counselling and safe for queer and trans communities, and my passion is relationship counselling.

As a therapist, and human in general, I am passionate about creating space for the stories and emotions that are so often pushed away, hidden from view, and disavowed. I believe that to be seen, heard, and accepted in these tender places can be a profoundly healing experience, even (and especially) when there is "nothing to do about it," other than bear witness and grieve. An important piece of this process is moving towards a way of being that centers less around achieving, perfecting and “doing” and much more around “being.” Being present, being messy, being perfectly imperfect and ok with slow processes and uncertainties.

Does this sound like you and your relationship? You fight in circles about the same (petty) things and don’t know how to make it better. Minor disagreements can erupt into full-blown arguments. You walk on eggshells to avoid conflicts. You don’t feel the same connection and closeness to your partner. You wonder if this is it…or if there is hope for your relationship. If you are feeling tired, hopeless, and exasperated, you’re in the right place. I help couples stop vicious cycles of fights and start communicating in a healthy and effective way, so both partners feel heard and understood; restoring trust and connection in your bond.
