Why they became a therapist.

"The impact of mental health in my community became very apparent to me at a young age, the study of psychology opened my eyes to the extent of that impact. In my pursuit of higher education, I searched the various fields within psychology and found myself most comfortable when allowed to build a safe conversational space for people over a period of time, shaping my approach to be tailored to each person as an individual."

What they'd like a client's first session to be like.

"The first session can bring up a mix of emotions for both the client and therapist. My hope for the session is to provide my clients with a sense of ease in the space we share as well as do my best to provide a roadmap for the coming sessions."

How they make their practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx.

"From my early experiences in the field of psychology I had the opportunity to work with queer affirmative mentors and organizations. My learnings from these experiences informs my work today. Language holds power; it plays a significant role in how we see ourselves. I ensure using queer affirmative language and introduce myself with my pronouns. I am mindful of not assuming any client’s identity instead rely on my client’s informing me."

Areas of concern they address in counselling.

"I work with a broad range of concerns, which include but are not limited to trauma, abuse, relationships, life changes (work, family, relationships, loss), identity exploration, grief, anxiety, depression and work stress."
