Background

I'm a queer, gender-expansive, disabled, & neurodivergent practitioner. I'm guided by relational, critical, feminist, intersectional, trauma-attuned & anti-oppressive frameworks. From me you can expect curiosity, honesty, warmth, & humour. I show up authentically human, not a blank slate, honouring your story, pace, & wisdom. If you want a space to be fully seen in your complexity, without shame or judgment, we might be a good fit!

Your therapeutic experience with me

Working with me means stepping into an orientation that is deeply human, affirming, and rooted in radical care and relationality. I show up as my full self: compassionate, casual, and non-authoritarian. I am trauma-informed, which means I prioritize agency and the wisdom of your lived/living experience. I meet you where you are and keep sight of where you want to be, holding space for nuance, change, complexity, and the messy realities of life.
