Do you suffer with chronic pain or illness that leaves you feeling broken, hopeless, and disconnected? This disconnection can show up in our relationships with others, but also in the most important relationship – the one with ourselves. Trauma and toxic relationships can manifest as anxiety, stress, and low mood, but can also show up physically. Perhaps you are overwhelmed with feeling these things, but you are ready to make a change. I am here to help you get to the root of your suffering and live a life that is aligned with your values. Let’s work together to reconnect you with yourself and rediscover a more meaningful life!

Life can be difficult - we all go through struggles as we navigate the ups and downs of our experience. This can be further complicated when we're a member of a minority or marginalized group. As a queer woman myself, I am passionate about working with other queer individuals to help them explore and discover who they are, and how they want to express themselves in the world. Whether you're struggling with your sexuality, gender identity, depression, anxiety, or just having a hard time managing stress and life changes - I'm here to help!

I have worked with individuals, couples and families in private practice since 1983. Couples and families are a primary focus of mine including those struggling with issues of life transitions, mental health, sexuality, sexual compulsive disorders, substance and process addictions, as well as emotional and physical affairs. I am trained in systemic models of interventions that allow for a dual focus on the needs of the individual as well as those of the relationship. I am an Approved Supervisor with AAMFT which affords me the privilege of supervising psychotherapists and clinicians in the community interested in systemic models.

My education and experience has led me to a profound passion for the restoration of people. I value understanding how the human mind functions on a day to day basis. My education and experience in Marriage (Couple) and Family Therapy has led me to further expertise on topics including communication, conflict resolution, relationship issues, sex and stress within relationships. I believe therapy should never be seen as a failure, but rather as an avenue of growth and restoration.

I work to meet people where they are and help them to unravel psychological problems that are negatively impacting their lives. I utilize a collaborative approach to therapy where I’ll explain what we’re doing and why so that we can engage in the process together. My goal is to help people to get back on the path towards happiness and living as well as they can.

“How are you?” is a question many of us get asked several times a day, yet, the person asking is usually not interested in the honest answer to the question. I am. As a certified clinical trauma specialist, I am able to use a trauma-informed lens that highlights one’s strengths and resilience and allows for them to explore their experiences in a safe environment. Additionally, I use an informed approach when working with adults in areas regarding sex, sexual identity, sexual education, and general sexual therapy. I aim to create a safe space, one of compassion, empathy, and care, using a person-centered, integrative approach.

Is there something missing from your sex life? Is it all you thought it would be? Do you want more intimacy? More pleasure? Passion? Desire? We are not born knowing how to have great sex or develop healthy relationships. Nothing could be further from the truth! Sex and romantic relationships are both an art and a skillset developed through experience, and also through support and guidance. In my practice, I aim to help you to learn and understand how to create a sex life filled with pleasure and intimacy rather than shame, fear, or performance anxiety.

Is trauma affecting your sex life? Are you struggling with low desire? Do you want to improve your sex life and communication with your partner? Do you experience sexual pain? Exploring intimacy and sex can be scary! You deserve a helping hand to unpack the problem at hand and move towards a hopeful future. Whether with a partner or by yourself, I’m here to co-create your path forward. Understanding your trauma and sexuality can be daunting, but I'm here to help you discover the real you! You are not the problem – your problem is the problem.

Stardust is a queer-owned collective of mental health workers trying to make counselling more accessible and affirming to folks experiencing systemic oppression.

Living with a chronic illness or disability, or being a family caregiver for a loved one, is complicated and life-changing. Chronic pain, fatigue, medical trauma, burnout, and isolation are all very real challenges that can take a negative toll on your mental health and impact your relationships. I know you have had to do a ton of advocating for yourself or your loved one to ensure needs are being met, and there still remain far too many barriers to getting the support you deserve. You should not have to do this alone. It IS possible to regain control of your life and have a supportive team collaborating with you to meet your goals!

I have a significant amount of experience in working with those who present with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, sex and relationship concerns, trauma, and oppression. My clients may struggle with internalized self-blame for the issues they're facing. I hope to help them reject harmful societal messages that lead them to believe that the problems they're having are entirely due to their personal shortcomings. I hope to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for them to process their experiences of trauma and oppression. I hope to help them develop self-care routines, strategies and boundaries to avoid burnout.

Under the framework of modern attachment theories, I work with clients to gain a greater sense of self-autonomy, determination and understanding. Many of our thoughts and feelings go unchecked during the busyness of a common day. In our work together, we will first learn to identify maladaptive core beliefs that so often plague our mental wellness. From there, I will implement EFT, narrative, and mindfulness approaches to combat self-defeating behaviours. How we think and feel about ourselves has a profound effect on our overall well-being, and both consciously and subconsciously influences every action (or in-action) we take.

My goal as a therapist is to create a connection that allows for curiosity, risk-taking, fun and emotional safety so that you feel empowered to share in sessions. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, life-transitions, grief, relationship issues, or questions around identity I would love to explore this with you. I enjoy connecting people to their emotions and will often aim to increase connection between your emotions and your body so you feel empowered to express your feelings and increase self-trust. Emotions have important information for us and feeling them in the presence of another is sometimes all that's needed.

It takes a lot of courage to face parts of ourselves that have felt confused, inadequate, ashamed, or alone. As a holistic and relational therapist, my passion lies in supporting individuals and couples to safely delve deeper into themselves by becoming curious about the past experiences, traumas, and relationships that may have brought them here. Together, we will foster an environment where compassion and vulnerability flourish, allowing you to safely lower your walls and embrace your authentic self and strengths with renewed clarity, connection, and hope while embarking on a path forward toward healing.

We all experience times in life when we feel overwhelmed, anxious or in grief. Life's challenges can sometimes take a toll on our sense of well-being. When anxiety, fear, grief or relationship difficulties arise you may feel even more vulnerable. Therapy offers an opportunity to explore your feelings, uncover insights and develop greater self-awareness and compassion. Together we can create new coping skills that will support you and your loved ones during these exceptional times.

Reaching out for support can be difficult—I commend you for the courage to see what therapy can offer! As a person of colour and member of the LGBTQ+ communities, I have lived experience and special insight into what it’s like to navigate the unique challenges that come with intersectionality.

I’m grateful to have supported many folx who went through a difficult time in their life, dealt with a mental health concern, or wanted to explore more about themselves.

Do you feel like you are constantly giving to others, feel lost or confused about who you are, and what brings you joy or pleasure? Caregivers prioritize everyone else around them, putting themselves last until they are exhausted and have no energy left. I work with people to help them find what they need – it could be validation, acknowledgement, finding the things that bring them joy, discovering what pleasure feels like in their body
