You’re the client who reads self-help books, listens to psychology podcasts, and still wonders why old patterns won’t budge. Maybe anxiety, trauma, or substance use keeps hijacking your plans. You long for relationships that feel real and a life directed by your values, not your fears. You want a therapist who gets LGBTQ+ and non-traditional relationships, honours culture, and speaks plainly. If that sounds like you, I built my virtual practice with you in mind.
I draw from ACT, DBT, RO-DBT, and exposure-based therapies to turn insight into meaningful change. We’ll clarify your values, reduce the impact of unhelpful thoughts, and build new, sustainable behaviors. I offer secure telehealth, trauma-informed care, and a safe, affirming space for kink and ENM exploration.
Therapy is a collaborative process rooted in trust, respect, and shared goals. I strive to offer a space that is both supportive and structured, where insight is paired with actionable strategies. Wherever you are on your path, you don’t have to navigate it alone. When you're ready, I would be honored to support you in taking the next steps forward.

Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) is quite effective in helping my clients. It allows them to accept their thoughts and emotions for what they are without feeling judged. This approach fosters a more compassionate view towards themselves and promotes personal growth. ACT's focus on personal values and committed actions helps my clients make changes.

What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)? Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapeutic approach aimed at enhancing mental well-being by fostering acceptance, mindfulness, and value-based actions. Unlike symptom-focused therapies, ACT emphasizes living a meaningful life aligned with personal values. Core Principles: Acceptance: Embracing thoughts and emotions without letting them control behavior. Value-Based Living: Identifying core values to guide actions. Committed Action: Taking steps toward goals despite challenges. Benefits of ACT: Reduces anxiety, depression, and addiction struggles. Enhances emotional flexibility, stress management, and personal growth. Supports meaningful, value-driven living.
