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: COVID-19, 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.

It is my firm belief that everyone deserves someone to talk to, and to pour out what has been long kept in their heart, body, mind, spirit, and soul. It is with that belief, that I offer my skills, and trained ear as a counselor, in order to help you navigate through this situation that you are finding yourself going through. You are never alone. Although it may feel like this at this very moment, you are stronger than you think that you are. Real strength, in my opinion, is being able to be vulnerable, being able to disclose a hidden problem or area of great pain, and to deal with this 'head on', and with someone who can help you.

I support people in finding the sparkle, hope, and joy in life again. The weight of the world, trauma, and our personal experiences can sometimes be very heavy, which can lead to depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, feeling numb or feeling burnt out. Counselling with me will strengthen the ways you cope, help you re-story what is going on for you (you are already the main character in your life!), and support you in changing negative or self-deprecating thought patterns.

Welcome! I work with people experiencing a variety of life transitions and life struggles. A stressful life event, life change, or a recent loss can make it feel like your bottom has fallen out from under you. Cumulative stress, chronic worry or low mood may be interfering with your ability to live a fulfilling, meaningful life. I work with people to build safety, increase self-understanding, process painful feelings, expand coping and facilitate adjustment. I bring a diverse background of clinical experience working in Cancer Care, mental health, and trauma recovery.

As humans, we have all needed other people to share life’s journey with me in all its hope and hurt, awe and agony, wonder and wisdom. If you are in a space of curiosity, feeling like you would benefit from support to explore and deepen your personal and/or professional challenges, change deeply held patterns that aren't working for you, or work through frustrations, anxieties, fears, or grief, I am here to walk alongside you in that journey. I value a practical approach to addressing concerns, and will co-create strategies with you, drawing from your personal wisdom and experience combined with researched best practices.

Therapy can be an opportunity to bring awareness to your unconscious patterns, to discover where you have choice and to connect to your authentic self. Therapy is one way you turn towards yourself, this can be challenging when we’ve spent a life time turning away. We need time, space, and guidance to transform ourselves and forge a new path.

Do you wonder if you’re the only one around who experiences the world with the intensity you do? Depending on how stressed you are, it may feel like you’re on alert or like you’re living in a soundproof glass box, cut off from others. You may have a hard time focusing on conversations with co-workers and family. You might have been told you’re "oversensitive" or have "no filter.". You may be feeling frustrated with yourself for not being able to get things together and just move forward, but the pandemic has made everything harder, and it feels like there are always too many moving parts. You want for a space to talk this through.

Imagine sitting in a cozy room, the faint scent of freshly brewed tea lingering in the air as you and your partner find yourselves facing challenges that seem insurmountable. The weight of grief or the strain of unspoken emotions hangs heavy between you. It's a scenario familiar to many, where the complexities of relationships, the trials of parenthood, or the echoes of past traumas cast shadows over the present. In this moment, what you yearn for is a path forward. You dream of rediscovering the joy and understanding that once defined your relationship, of building a future where communication flows freely and wounds begin to mend.
