I'm a white, queer and trans settler, and I've been practicing social work and psychotherapy since 2016. ​

​

For the past two decades I've worked alongside other 2SLGBTQIA people as an artist, activist, group facilitator, mentor, service coordinator, and counsellor.

 

My current focus is on providing long-term psychotherapy in the areas of trauma and attachment. I work with individuals age 18 and older. My practice is completely virtual, and is open to clients living anywhere in Ontario. ​

​

I seek to support each client's movement toward their own sense of greater wholeness and integrity. I'm trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment, which are trauma-focused, mindfulness-based approaches to psychotherapy. These approaches centre the client's present-moment experience and see the body as a key source of wisdom and of transformation.​

 

As a socialist, I also aim to accompany clients in the spirit of solidarity: offering space to hold how forms of oppression and exploitation impact upon one's sense of self and agency - and moving together toward increased connection to our personal and collective power. Principles and political frameworks that I aim to centre in my practice include abolition, harm reduction, decolonization and land back, disability justice, and sexual and gender liberation. I welcome clients of all identities who value anti-oppression and liberation. ​
