As a neurodivergent counsellor, I understand the unique obstacles neurodivergent folk encounter when navigating systems and the importance of discussing what it’s like when those systems do and do not meet our needs. These layers are complex. Our thoughts, emotions, sensory experiences, and strengths don’t exist in a vacuum; they’re deeply shaped by context, identity, relationships, and our access to support. Honouring these intersecting factors is an essential part of healing.

Whether I am holding space for an adult, child, or teen, I aim to understand you and your unique experience of the world – what’s working, and what feels stuck! Let’s make sense of your experiences, create safety around the thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations that get in the way, and find ways to move toward what really matters to you. Therapy with me is about identifying and connecting with your values in order to commit to meaningful change. This might look like reflective conversation, creative expression through art making, or mindfulness-based exploration with adults and teens, or expressive art and play therapy when working with children.

In a session with me you can expect a gentle rhythm. It’s okay to feel faster than you think – I have a sense of routine that will support us. We might start with a check-in, taking time to orient to the space and to each other. Together, we’ll decide on the focus of the session. From there, we will incorporate tools that fit – whether that’s talk therapy, arts-based approaches, or other forms of expression. Sometimes, our work will involve grounding in the present moment to build a stronger sense of internal safety. Other times, it will mean turning toward the tougher stuff: processing, making connections, and trying out new ways of thinking or responding to our environment. We’ll also make room to reflect on progress because the goal is to help you feel supported and understood while connecting with meaningful change. Let’s build a structure where you or your child can feel seen, supported, and ready to grow in ways that truly matter.

Diving under the surface is one of the bravest things you can do. Sometimes you sit down to deal with a problem and have no idea where to start. You might feel stuck, disconnected, or maybe you are simply seeking guidance while you wade through something difficult. That’s where I come in. I strive to create an environment where you aren’t mean to yourself. I want to inspire conversations that are grounded in self-acceptance so that you can gain awareness and develop new perspectives.

I tend to work well with what I call “fast brained” people. That’s probably because I’m neurodivergent, just like many of my clients. My queer identity has taught me that while some labels are given to us, others are discovered. I would love to sit down with you and not only help you feel seen, but help you see yourself for who you are.

Life is complex. When it’s confusing on top of that we can feel lost, isolated, or forgotten in this world. In these moments it’s difficult to reach out or find help, especially if we have been let down or disappointed in the past – an experience that I relate to. As a neurodivergent, queer, and racialized counsellor, I am grateful to find myself supporting individuals and communities with shared identities and intersections. I strive to foster therapeutic spaces that are client-focused, collaborative, and compassionate. From a foundation of safety and trust, let’s explore what is important to you.

My process works with you to uncover how you came to understand yourself within the spaces and places that you have both lived through and currently live in. Through queer, feminist, anti-oppressive, and social justice approaches we will aim to identify what living well and authentically means for you in order to then build skills that help you thrive.

In our sessions, expect a warm and affirming environment. One where we navigate life’s complexities together, honouring your unique experiences and fostering resilience. Let’s embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing!

I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed space for neurodivergent individuals to explore themselves because I understand the unique challenges we face – how institutional barriers in the societal, cultural, and systemic realms compound these challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy and validation: I want to ensure you feel truly seen and understood.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I invite art as a supportive communication tool for those who might find words limiting or conventional conversations difficult. Art is a way for us to explore your raw thoughts and emotions authentically.

My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, embrace your neurodivergence, and navigate the complexities of a world that is at times, frankly, unaccommodating. By normalizing your experiences and providing tailored coping strategies I aim to empower you to thrive. My work supports those in managing focus, processing information differently, and addressing the emotional impacts of trauma and systemic inequities.

As a trauma-informed counsellor I prioritize creating a safe environment for your personal growth. I understand the importance of moving slowly and respecting your sense of agency. When the world feels like it’s operating on urgency, let our sessions be a place where you set the pace.
