Relationships can be a source of your greatest joys and your biggest challenges.

I bring my lived experience as a married lesbian and mother to a young adult to my practice.

In my couples therapy, I work with heterosexual, gay/lesbian, queer, gender diverse, monogamous or polyamorous folks in relationships who are wanting to shift how they connect with each other and make room for their preferred ways to show up.
I work with clients who want to find relief from their struggles with the following: depression, anxiety, anger, grief and loss, worthlessness, despair, disordered eating, life/work transitions, addiction (substances, pornography and gambling), and the negative impact of sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and poverty. Often in the beginning, people come in feeling overwhelmed and frustrated and may be clearer initially of what isn't working for them or what they no longer want in their life. I believe these feelings are a resource to reveal what you do want in your life, what's important to you, your values, hopes, dreams and commitments.

I use a relational approach to support you when facing life transitions, relationship concerns, general stress, sexual/identity exploration, trauma, grief, loss, anxiety, and depression. I am passionate about supporting self-identified women, youth, and couples who are looking to deepen their connection to themselves. I believe that we are born whole and our lived experiences play a role in shaping our perception of self, others, and the world around us. I am inspired by those who have the courage to look within and express their fears, desires, and goals – and find breakthroughs along the way.

If you’re here, you may have found yourself feeling consistently unhappy, stressed, anxious or depressed in your day to day life. Experiences in our childhood, our friendships, or romantic relationships can leave us stuck in a place that we soon come to realize just does not feel good. For many of us, it can be difficult to understand these emotions, let alone talk about them.

Hi and welcome! I appreciate that it takes courage and strength to start this process. Sometimes, we need help to work through issues. You don't have to deal with your struggles, questions, grief, anxiety, depression, and all of life’s other servings alone. In a non-judgmental, confidential and safe space, shifts can begin to take place. I utilize various modalities, but always come from a person-centered, trauma-informed, and compassion focused lens. I believe in the strength and resilience in every person, and that includes you! Your story matters. You matter…and you deserve healing and happiness.

Are you feeling disconnected from those around you? You might find yourself stuck in the same arguments or patterns with your loved one(s). Or you may be struggling to find a sense of belonging in your family, workplace, or a new community. This sense of isolation can magnify already stressful situations and have negative impacts on both your emotional and physical health. With support, you can experience the growth and healing that can come from reconnecting with yourself, and strengthening your relationship with others. My identities and experiences have shaped me to become the counsellor I am today, a wounded healer.
