Pronouns: they/them/she

Hi and welcome to my profile!

Life often leaves us feeling wounded or uncertain in our sense of identity, meaning, and belonging. Growing up and growing older can both be hard. I support adults of all ages navigating complex trauma and grief, chronic pain and illness, death and dying, and the painful ripples of faith transitions and spiritual harm. As a queer therapist, I offer a deeply affirming space for LGBTQIA+ individuals, those facing systemic barriers, and family members seeking to understand and support their loved ones’ gender or identity.

For me, therapy is a sacred and relational space, grounded in mindfulness, somatic presence, and deep listening. The work can move beyond cognition, through the body, through presence, and through care. I don’t aim to fix what may feel broken, but to witness what’s unfolding, with respect for the goodness, strength, creativity, and wisdom you already hold. My work is anti-oppressive and disability-informed, shaped by both professional knowledge and lived experience. Spirituality is welcome, never assumed.

I like therapy that is relational, creative, and alive, while drawing on evidence-based treatments. No single approach can hold the whole of who you are or your life. I may bring ideas, questions, practices, or different ways of listening. What stays constant is the relationship: respect, care, deep listening, and trust in your wisdom and creativity. Disagreement and uncertainty are welcome.

I am a master’s candidate at Emmanuel College, U of T (graduating April 2027), focusing on psychotherapy, multifaith spiritual care, and Buddhism. I also bring decades of experience as a mindfulness teacher and trauma-specialist bodyworker and am a biodynamic craniosacral therapist. I have advanced training in polyvagal theory and certifications in trauma and contemplative end-of-life care (death doula training).
