Counselling Practice Website

Practice Information

My relational and feminist approach to counselling emphasizes the mutual formation of people through their relationships. With it, I support you in finding your own self in the tangle of relations with friends, family, lovers, neighbours, co-workers, and others. Although we cannot immediately change the social structures around us, the therapeutic process helps you to navigate them with greater confidence, compassion, and care.

My sessions are conversational but intentional; I mentally chart where our dialogue takes us. This map provides me with reflections and queries that both validate your experience and gently challenge it. As trust builds between us, these conversations will help you rewrite narratives that describe only obstacles so that you can carve new paths with new possibilities.

I have worked in mental health services for 10 years as a counsellor, a front-line mental health worker, and a crisis line operator. My experience with diverse communities across gender, race, and class lines has exposed me to the complexities of human suffering and human desire. My clinical foci are therefore on non-normative relationships and erotic desires, as well as on Christian religious trauma. I offer therapy that is queer-, trans-, poly-, and kink-affirming. More generally, I work with individuals and relationships around issues of communication, conflict, sexuality, eroticism, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Master of Arts in counselling psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in international studies and philosophy. My interdisciplinary education informs my therapeutic approach — I recognize that each of my clients are situated in unique histories, cultures, narratives, and relationships.
