Get to Know Me

I identify as a queer-bisexual, neuordivergent therapist, and musician. I use these experiences to inform my practice. I am LGBTQ2SAI+ affirming with specific focus on supporting non-binary, and queer/bisexual/pansexual/questioning clients. I also work with neurodivergent (Autism, ADHD, Learning Disability, and more) teenagers and young adults. As a musician, I have a strong value for supporting musicians, artists, actors, comedians and others in the arts community. 

​

All are welcome to my practice even if you don't identify with the above categories. Let's have a conversation to see what you would like from therapy.

​

I provide counselling and psychotherapy to individuals and families. My training and my experience has covered a range of clinical issues and life problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, suicidal thoughts/ intent, self-harm, and relationship challenges.

 

My perspective is strengths-based and anti-oppressive with a particular focus on respecting neurodiversity. This means I am not interested in pathologizing your experience. I don't judge or analyze, instead I strive to connect with you, understand you and support you in developing the skills you want. 

 

I have an eclectic approach to psychotherapy, which means I strive to tailor my approach to your needs by combining elements of psychotherapeutic modalities such as Music-Integrated Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). 

 

The most important thing to know about my approach is that I believe in meeting you where you are at and collaborating with you on your goals, even if you don't really know what your goals are yet! 

​

I have completed a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at The University of Toronto where I did my training to become a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I am also a member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists.
