You may be someone who appears to cope well on the outside while feeling anxious, low, burnt out, or disconnected inside. You might be ADHD or autistic, queer, a person of colour, or living in ways that sit outside the norm. Perhaps you have spent years masking, people-pleasing, or adapting to feel safe, and are now questioning who you are, what you want, or how you relate to others. You want a space where you do not have to explain yourself or be shaped to fit someone else’s framework.
I offer trauma-informed, relational therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, neurodivergence, and complex relationships. My work is person-centred, collaborative, and paced carefully. I offer kink-affirming and non-monogamy-aware therapy, alongside work that is queer-affirming, neurodivergence-affirming, and culturally attuned.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you have felt misunderstood or unseen before. You do not need to have the right words or a clear plan. If you are looking for a thoughtful, steady space to explore what you are carrying, you are welcome to reach out and see whether working together feels like a good fit.

I work with anxiety, depression, burnout, neurodivergence, identity questions, and relationship difficulties. Therapy often involves exploring patterns, nervous system safety, and lived context. Many clients notice a meaningful shift after a few sessions, such as greater clarity, steadiness, and self-trust.
