If you are here looking for a therapist, chances are you feel there are aspects of your life that are not as they should be. Perhaps you are in a cycle where your efforts are not producing the change you want, or maybe you simply feel stuck and are at a loss for how to even begin moving forward. Whatever it is you are experiencing, finding a counsellor you feel comfortable and connected with is an important first step toward healing the parts of you that have limited you from being your best self.

As someone who has wrestled with authenticity, I firmly believe that meaningful change happens when we feel comfortable enough to allow our unfiltered self to emerge. Whether you are seeking support for sexual concerns or navigating other life challenges, my hope is to create an accepting, non-judgmental space to experience the aspects of yourself that have been kept hidden.

Together, we will work on becoming comfortable with discomfort so that we can better explore the thoughts, feelings, and experiences that have been too overwhelming to confront alone. Through these new experiences, old ways of being that are no longer helpful soften, and new adaptive ways are discovered, allowing us to think and behave in ways that better align with who we are.

To be honest and curious about oneself takes vulnerability, and I am here to support you on your unique journey, regardless of the challenges you are facing. Being vulnerable is a skill, and like all skills, it can be cultivated. Whatever level of vulnerability you bring to therapy is where we will start.

Grounded in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and informed by my training in Sex Therapy, I am committed to creating an environment where you feel comfortable enough to explore discomfort, transforming unhelpful cycles into an upward spiral toward healing.

If you are struggling with overwhelming emotions (or lack of emotions), difficulties connecting with yourself or others, concerns related to sex, sexuality, or gender identity, or simply feel something is holding you back from being your authentic self, please reach out. We can arrange a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we are a good fit.
