My journey in this field started 10 years ago. Throughout this time, I have worked in various community-based settings with positions ranging from case manager, court support worker, community health worker, harm reduction worker, and mental health counsellor as well as engaged in community organizing outside of my work. These experiences provided me with invaluable knowledge and transformed my perception of self, community, and care; all of which has led me here.

Our experiences are intrinsically tied to living under the weight of colonialism, capitalism, and cis-heteropatriarchy, which is daunting to bear alone. My approach to therapy is relational, non-pathologizing, neurodiversity and 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma- and structurally informed. My practice is rooted in queer, abolitionist, and anti-colonial thought as well as the principles guiding body neutrality, collective liberation, harm reduction and disability justice. 

I believe that healing is a relational process and value the importance of both developing and maintaining a strong therapeutic alliance. Together, we can co-construct an intentional, safe and compassionate space that explores the complexities of life with curiosity; including the ups, downs, and in-betweens as well as the impact of the systems that constrain us. 

I specialize in supporting members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community navigate questions of identity, social and medical transition, structural disparities, relationships (including non-traditional configurations), belonging and beyond. However, I am adept at supporting folks from varied social, cultural and economic backgrounds navigate a broad range of topics like self-exploration, gender and sexuality, grief and loss, complex trauma, life transitions, neurodivergence, social inequities, disability, OCD, depression, anxiety, substance use, etc.

Beyond my clinical role, I can be found spending time in nature, camping, gardening, swimming, reading, playing video games, watching horror movies or hanging out with my sweet void kitty Minnow.

It is a great honour to bear witness to your (un)becoming and to work alongside you on your healing journey. I offer a 20-minute free consultation to get to know each other and determine if we are a good match as I understand how finding the right therapist can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.
