I support people who feel like they don’t belong. If you have learned to hate parts of yourself, have had to cut off access to joy and rest in order to survive, or have no idea how to explain what's happening inside yourself, we might be an excellent fit. I welcome bookings for both individual and relationship work.

My approach to counselling is personalized and adaptive. I have a lot of therapy tools for us to explore; if something doesn’t work for you, I assume the approach needs to change, not you! I have a long history of supporting people who are treated like the problem, including QTIBIPoC+ folx, survivors of violence and neglect, disabled and/or neurodivergent folks, people with complex trauma, and people who have experienced institutional harm.

My goal in counselling is to help you find a peaceful sense of home inside yourself. If that seems out of reach, we could start by making life a little bit easier. And if that seems out of reach, I really welcome you to book a consult to learn more about how we might work together.
