About…

Whatever is bringing you here, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, going through a difficult transition, or carrying something that’s hard to name. As a queer person diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I understand what it’s like to navigate systems not built for you and to feel disconnected in a world that asks you to mask or conform. Together we can create a space where all of who you are is welcome.

I support individuals navigating:

  • Anxiety and depression
  • Trauma and C-PTSD
  • Self-esteem struggles
  • Emotional overwhelm
  • Identity exploration
  • Grief and loss
  • Life transitions
  • Relationship challenges
  • Chronic health conditions 
  • The impact of systemic oppression and marginalization

How I Work

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and guided by deep respect for your pace and needs. Depending on what you need, we might work with younger parts of you and the beliefs and protective strategies they carry, bring in somatic awareness to help you embody your emotions, or use creative expression when words aren’t enough, trusting in your inner wisdom.

I work from an anti-oppressive lens, which means I acknowledge how intergenerational trauma, systemic oppression, and marginalization shape our mental health and lived experiences. I work to create a space where your identities, histories, and complexities are honoured.

I believe we don’t come to therapy to be fixed. We come to remember who we truly are beneath the layers of survival and adaptation, to find our way back home to ourselves.

Next Steps

As a Pre-Licensed Professional and art psychotherapy student under clinical supervision, I offer affordable therapy with low-cost and sliding scale rates available.  If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you! 

I know reaching out can feel vulnerable.  I welcome all the feelings you may have about taking this step. We can first meet for a free 30-minute virtual consultation where we can get to know each other, explore what you’re looking for, and see whether working together feels like the right fit. There’s no pressure – just a chance to connect and ask any questions you might have.
