ABOUT

I work with LGBTQ2S+ adults who are tired of being "hooked" by their own minds—that loop of anxiety, the "not good enough" narrative, or that "stuck" feeling. Whether you’re navigating a life transition or just feeling "flat," I help you get your hands back on the steering wheel of your life.

My vibe is direct and jargon-free. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stop the tug-of-war with your thoughts. We focus on building "psychological flexibility": identifying the hooks that pull you away from yourself, clarifying your actual values, and taking brave steps toward a life that feels authentic and move-forward ready.

I’m an LGBTQ2S+ identified social worker—I get the nuances, so you don’t have to over-explain. Therapy shouldn't be a snooze-fest; it's about navigating the messiness of being human. You aren’t broken, and we aren't "fixing" you. If you’re ready to stop being dragged around by your thoughts, let’s chat. Virtual (Ontario) or in-person (Newmarket).
