For the better part of my life, I have been learning and training how to help people of all genders and sexual expressions tackle some of the confusing and difficult parts of life. I know what it's like to feel stuck, whether in your personal identity, sex life, relationships, career, or just life in general. I also know a lot of these topics can be tough to talk about, and that's why I'm here.

Counselling sessions can provide an environment of trust, compassion, and safety for us to explore some of these areas together without the burden of being judged. Obtaining a Master of Counselling Psychology degree from Adler University allowed me to hone my skills as a listener and a helper of people in the counselling space.

My work with you will be tailored to your needs, based on how you identify as a person and what has or hasn't worked for you. I believe we are all complex, well-rounded human beings and therefore a holistic and integrative approach to healing is most effective.

In my work, predominantly draw from Client-Centered, Emotion-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioural, Somatic, and Mindfulness practices. By attending sessions, you will be given the opportunity to learn new skills and tools that you can take with you into your day-to-day, helping you feel better equipped to manage life's challenges.

Together we can start to look at what brought you here, what’s keeping you stuck, and what possible ways there are to move forward. Fortunately, you've already made a step toward change by being here, and I’d love to continue with you on that journey.
