Feeling stuck in negative patterns of thoughts, feelings, and emotions can be daunting to process alone.

Working together, we will create a safe space where you feel seen and understood as the expert of your own experience. I use a holistic and person-centered approach to honour your unique values and worldview. I intend to walk alongside you at your pace of self-exploration and therapy goals.

My practice is rooted in respect, curiosity, and acceptance. As a queer therapist, I intend for my practice to be affirming and celebratory of all identities, sexualities, and relationships.

I draw from many different counselling frameworks including solution-focused, narrative, emotionally-focused, and cognitive-behavioural therapies, adapting my approach based on your individual needs and goals.

As you and I work together, we can develop strategies to manage anxiety, shift patterns of self- talk, and explore how you relate to yourself and others, building greater emotional regulation, self-compassion, and belonging.

Practice Focus:

Counselling for individuals: adolescents (10+), young adults, and adults. (Standard) anxiety, stress, panic, self-image, identity (Specialties) LGBTQ+ individuals navigating gender identity, sexuality, relationships (including polyamory/ ENM).

 

Types Of Therapy:

Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

 

Experience:

I am a Master’s of Counselling Psychology student under supervision during my practicum. I hold a BA degree of psychology and bring many years of knowledge and experience working with children of all ages in different contexts into my practice.

 

Outside of counselling I love connecting with others through sport, theatre, and community activities. I feel the most at ease when I am with my loved ones, and I spend most of my free time connecting with my people, with nature, with my pets, or creating art.
