In a world that often demands conformity, many of us grow up learning to play small, mask, or stay silent to survive. You may have learned to adapt, excel, and perform—yet still feel disconnected from your most authentic self. Maybe you carry the weight of expectations to be productive, palatable, or useful, even when your heart longs for peace, honesty, and connection.
 

When that inner voice is ignored—whether by necessity or survival—life can become noisy with distraction, disconnection, or distress. Over time, this can show up as anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, or identity loss, especially when faced with overwhelming life events. In these moments, you might realize it’s time to ask for support.
 

Together, we co-create a space where all of you is welcome. My approach is collaborative, identity-affirming, and rooted in deep listening. I believe each person is inherently whole, shaped by layered life experiences—including race, gender, sexuality, culture, and community. Through our work, we’ll explore patterns and build self-awareness, so you can move with greater clarity, choice, and intention. Healing doesn’t always come in grand gestures—sometimes it starts with one small, powerful step.
 
I also support individuals and couples moving through relationship transitions—including when one partner in a cis heterosexual monogamous relationship realizes they are queer. These moments can hold both deep love and deep uncertainty. You may be asking: How do we honour what we’ve built while allowing one partner to explore a newly emerging part of themselves? There’s no one-size-fits-all outcome. Whether you’re exploring non-monogamy, redefining the relationship, or moving through a conscious uncoupling, I support both partners in staying grounded in care, consent, and curiosity. Our work centers on honesty, compassion, and clarity—helping you navigate these questions in a way that respects each person’s needs, values, and evolving truths.
 
My practice is trauma-informed, intersectional, and attuned to the dynamics of power, oppression, and resilience. I understand the impact of racism, colonization, homophobia and cultural displacement. I recognize how navigating life as LGBTQ+, BIPOC, or from a non-monogamous or collective-rooted background can create unique challenges—and strengths. I don’t pathologize these differences. I honour them.
 
You don’t have to carry it all alone. You deserve support that sees you, hears you, and affirms the fullness of who you are.
