Relationships of any kind can be challenging. I never underestimate how complicated things can get once we tease out the relational pieces in our lives and try to understand how they are affecting us.

I understand that we can all fall into cycles of negative self-thoughts and limiting beliefs. Inspired by Maya Angelou’s words—“you may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them”—I approach therapy with the belief that while we may not choose our hardships, we do have the power to grow through them.

Do you feel like you're stuck in old patterns? Are you always zoning out or in crisis mode? Do you struggle to connect with your body and aren't quite sure what it means to feel your feelings? Would you prefer to work with a queer therapist with experience supporting 2SLGBTQ+ folks and who is committed to integrating social justice into therapeutic work?

Something’s not feeling right and it’s time for a change. Perhaps you want less stress and anxiety. Or maybe you’re tired of being held back by feeling “not good enough.” Or you want to improve relationships with friends, loved ones, and co-workers. You might not even be sure what’s wrong, but you’re at the point where you feel it’s time to reach out for help. You are not alone.

Encountering issues, no matter the severity, is a normal and natural part of our lives. However, I believe that our unique life experiences necessitate a personalized approach to help us achieve our goals in the face of adversity. One size does not fit all. Sessions with me are experiential, focusing on developing present-moment awareness of one’s inner and outer world.

I have been in the field of mental health for about 6 years now, and worked across many settings, including crisis lines, counselling centres, private practice, and hospital settings.
