About
I am a queer, poly-aware parent, and therapy is a second career for me.
After a decade writing software in the corporate world, I’ve turned my professional self towards healing and human connection. I’m a lifelong hobbyist musician, knowing musical communities as diverse as electronic and rave culture and classical music. I believe that change is rooted in the present moment of emotions in the body. Whether your needs are about parenting, professional vocation, or creative expression, I’ve come to understand that life’s biggest blessings can come with their greatest challenges.
Focus Areas
My focus includes individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, dissociation, and difficulty finding meaning or purpose in life. I take a non-judgemental, harm reduction approach to substance use in general, and offer pre- and post-session integration support for those who have chosen to use psychedelic substances in their own healing path. I draw on techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness-based psychotherapy to facilitate somatic processing. My approach is also informed by the belief that the spiritual dimension of life can provide a broader context to our experience, whatever that looks like for you.
I believe that supportive, compassionate human connection can make a huge difference in meeting the complex challenges that we all face. Whether you’re seeking support in navigating a specific situation, exploring therapy for the first time, or ready to dive into deeper healing work, it would be my honour to accompany you on your path.
