Counselling for Individuals

Therapy with me is rooted in conversation, connection, and collaboration.

I’m generally not the kind of therapist who sits back silently—unless that’s what feels most supportive for you. In any case, you can expect me to show up with an engaged, thoughtful presence. My style is grounded, curious, and shaped by both clinical experience and what I’ve learned in and alongside communities over the years. I aim to create a space where you feel heard and seen, while also offering reflection, questions, and dialogue that help us explore what feels stuck, what’s shifting, and what might be possible.

People often tell me they feel like they have to explain or define themselves, their acronyms, interests, or norms in therapy. My goal is to take that pressure off from the start. You don’t have to justify your identities, desires, or relationship structures here. This is your space to explore what’s coming up, unpack patterns, and figure out what feels true to you, without judgment.

I primarily work with adults (18+) and tend to connect with folks navigating non-monogamy, kink, fetish, or non-traditional relationships. That being said, the people I see are as diverse as the stories they bring. You don’t have to fit any particular box for us to work together.

If you’re looking for a space where we can be curious, honest, and maybe even bring a little humour into the mix—you’re in the right place.

My approach

My approach is rooted in talk therapy, grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and relational-cultural practices. I don’t pathologize your experiences—I’m more interested in what’s underneath, what’s been protective, and what might feel possible if we hold those experiences with care and curiosity.

Modalities I draw from include relational-cultural therapy, intersectional feminist perspectives, harm reduction, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, and somatic awareness practices. My work is sex-positive, kink-affirming, and neurodivergent-affirming. That said, no singular modality matters more than the way we show up together in the room—genuine, attuned, and grounded in respect for your autonomy and lived experience.

What we might focus on together

– Navigating consensual non-monogamy, open relationships, or polyamory

– Exploring kink, BDSM, and fetish in ways that feel empowering, safe, and authentic

– Processing relational dynamics, ruptures, and repair

– Unpacking internalized stigma, shame, or trauma connected to sexuality, desires, or relational choices

– Boundary work, self-advocacy, and reclaiming agency in relationships and systems

– Exploring identity, neurodivergence, and intersections with culture, community, and systems

– Navigating complex family dynamics, chosen family, and support systems

– Holding space for grief, loss, and ambiguous endings—whether in relationships, community, or identity journeys

– Exploring desires, fantasies, and erotic templates in ways that feel affirming and grounded in consent

– Supporting caregiver burnout, emotional labor exhaustion, and the impacts of long-term care roles

– Reclaiming joy, pleasure, and agency after trauma, rupture, or periods of disconnection

Who I work with

I work primarily with individuals aged 18 and up. Many of the folks I support are navigating non-monogamy, kink, fetish, or other non-traditional relationships—but you don’t need to identify with any specific label or community to work with me.

I also work closely with caregivers—whether you’re supporting a child, a parent, a partner, or someone else you love. Caregiving can bring up complex dynamics, identity shifts, grief, burnout, and isolation. I offer a space where you can focus on your own needs, process the emotional weight of caregiving, and explore how to care for yourself in ways that feel sustainable and aligned with your values.

People often come to me when they feel disconnected from themselves or others, stuck in relational patterns that don’t feel good, or are seeking a space where they don’t have to translate their experiences to be understood. If that resonates, we might be a good fit.

I live, work, and provide services on the ancestral, unceded, and traditional territories of the sq̓əc̓iy̓aɁɬ təməxʷ (Katzie), qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓ (Kwantlen), máthxwi (Matsqui), and se’mya’me (Semiahmoo) peoples. My services also reach across what is commonly referred to as British Columbia, the unceded and ancestral homelands of over 200 distinct First Nations. I offer this acknowledgment with gratitude, humility, and responsibility as an uninvited guest.
