Therapists in V5L
Hello There! I am a relationship and trauma therapist. I use AEDP and Hakomi. I work with attachment (relationships), trauma (religious, family & relationship). I love working with both intense feelers and people who are just starting to feel their feelings and take up space. I work to hold a space where you can be your real self and feel accepted by my true self. I enjoy helping individuals, friends and family dyads work through conflict, grief, and attachment healing. I love this work and have a caring, playful, and present energy. I love spending time fusion dancing, watching comedians, and spending time with my family people.

When life's stressors outpace our ability to cope, it can be difficult to get "unstuck". I support clients in trusting their own wisdom, to find the balance between healthy relationships and self-fulfillment. Together, we'll explore answers to the questions: How does my past pain contribute to current patterns of suffering? What can I do about it now?

It’s a tough time right now, how are you holding up? If it seems like the tide you’ve been swimming against your whole life just turned into a tsunami, you’re not alone. Being queer, trans, non-monogamous, neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill or otherwise outside the box isn't easy, even at the best of times, but you don’t have to face it on your own. Whether you're suffering with stress, anxiety or burnout, struggling in relationships, or just grappling with an increasingly hostile world, counselling can support you to show up as the kind of partner, parent, caregiver, creative, healer or changemaker you most long to be.

Are you chronically stressed or overwhelmed? Do you often struggle with feelings of anxiety, sadness, shame or self-doubt? Do you feel frustrated and self-critical while trying to make needed changes? Stress, disappointment, loss - as well as our inner struggles with anger, worry, self-criticism, and feelings of inadequacy - diminish our innate capacity for well-being and resilience. As a counsellor with a background in coaching for neurodivergent clients, I invite you to bring every part of you to our sessions so you can be heard and understood.

My ideal client is someone ready for a journey of self-discovery, dealing with issues like identity, anxiety, or depression. They seek a therapist who celebrates their uniqueness, providing a safe space for exploration. They want to reshape thought patterns, embrace emotions and values, and nurture self-compassion. Their goal is a strong, authentic self, free from self-doubt, and armed with tools to thrive in life's complexities. I specialize in working with the neurodivergent crowd—ADHD, Autism—and gender-diverse people.

What if starting therapy was normalised, and people talked about it openly? What if you saw ads with people struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression or stress, and you saw them accessing support from a counsellor? Just because some people don’t open up and talk about their struggles, it doesn’t mean those struggles don’t exist or that they're okay. If you weren’t taught to regulate your emotions as a child or young person, it makes sense that you struggle with this as an adult when you feel triggered. If you don’t know what your negative core beliefs are, it makes sense that you sometimes feel stuck, alone, and sad.

There are many times in one person's life where one seeks support and information with resolving personal and psychological difficulties. Seeking counselling at this time will help break isolation and improve coping more effectively and quickly. Finding a good fit with someone is important to the success of the journey. I am trained in Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) where a client directs the counselling relationship by the feedback they provide. I believe in the right FIT and relationship between client and counsellor to be of great importance in helping a client in counselling.

I work extensively with couples on communication and relationship issues including infidelity, the rebuilding of trust and issues concerning sex. I work to help facilitate emotional responsibility so that everyone can define their goals, be heard and work towards feeling safe when communicating from a place of vulnerability. I have also worked with men individually and in a group setting around issues of identity, anger management, sexuality, anxiety, and depression.

I'm a genderqueer trans counsellor who works with adults, youth, and families to gently explore difficulties while affirming the ways people are already working towards their own healing. Right now we are dealing with a lot: rising authorianism, the ongoing and escalating police violence against Black and Indigenous peoples, as well as the ongoing racism against Asian and South Asian communities and Hispanic and Latin communities. In these times we need to find ways to support each other through the isolation, uncertainty and hardships. I offer several sliding scale options to make counselling as accessible as possible.

We can find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, on edge or disconnected. It can look like anxiety, perfectionism, overthinking, difficulty with emotions or people pleasing. Or be the result of adverse childhoods, relational/past trauma, inequity, burnout or feeling different. I wholeheartedly believe we all have the ability to have fulfilling relationships, to experience joy and to lead meaningful lives. Sometimes we just need guidance on reconnecting with our true selves and a sense of purpose, or support in rebuilding resilience. This is where my role as your therapist is immensely invaluable and rewarding.
