Practice Information
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with specialized training in sex therapy, narrative therapy, and couples therapy. I am queer, kink and gender affirming and approach therapy from a sex-positive lens. I use evidence-based, attachment-focused approaches to rebuild trust, increase understanding and insight and deepen intimacy. My style is warm, direct and relational.
I offer therapy to individuals and couples seeking to deepen intimacy, navigate low desire, work through differences in sexual preferences and explore sexual guilt and shame. Together, we examine narratives and patterns that may impact your sexuality, and work towards a more nuanced and authentic understanding of your unique sexual needs and identity. My scope of practice supports clients with sex-therapy related issues, as well as non-sex therapy related issues, including:
- relationship/couples counselling
- men's issues
- infidelity
- desire discrepancy
- sexual pain
- erectile dysfunction
- improving connection, communication and understanding in relationships
- kink-related issues
- 2SLGBTQIA+-specific issues
- non-monogamy and non-traditional relationship structures
Exploring sex, intimacy and your inner world can be vulnerable territory. I offer a warm, flexible space where all facets of your identity are welcome. If you would like to learn more about what therapy with me might look like, I offer free 15-min consultations for new clients. I look forward to welcoming you!
