“The human soul doesn't want to be advised, fixed or saved. It simply wants to be witnessed...exactly as it is.“
- Parker Palmer
ABOUT ME
I am a queer Registered Social Worker (MSW) with extensive experience in clinical mental heath settings, crisis intervention, concurrent disorders and suicide prevention work. I have had the privilege of supporting clients with depression, grief, gender identity exploration, anxiety, trauma, suicidal ideation, coming out support, and substance misuse using a harm reduction approach. I understand the impact of systemic inequality, capitalism, intersectionality, minority stress, resilience and how this could show up in our work together.
​
My lens is trauma informed, queer affirmative, feminist, while incorporating modalities of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), somatic practices, mindfulness techniques and harm reduction. I attempt to facilitate an egalitarian approach between client and therapist and take a non-pathologizing approach to mental health.
​
Taking the first step towards therapy can be daunting, I offer a free 15 - minute session to see if we are a good fit for one another. I welcome people from all backgrounds, and I am honoured to meet all the parts that make up who you are.

I adhere to all confidentiality guidelines set out by the Ontario College of Social Workers, and your information will be kept safe and secure. There are a few exceptions to confidentiality if safety concerns arise. These exceptions will be explained during our first session, and I will make sure to address any questions you may have.
