I work from trauma-informed and intersectional, anti-oppressive approaches and work most often with people in the LGBTQ2SI+ community. With individuals and couples, I specialize in issues related to:
.C/PTSD/trauma symptoms
.depression & anxiety
.intrusive thoughts/compulsive behaviours
.disordered eating, exercise & body dysmorphia
.relationship anxiety/ROCD
.gender identity & transition
.challenges with sex, sexuality, and intimacy
With individuals, I tend to lean towards using Emotion Focused, Somatic, Internal Family Systems and EMDR approaches.
With couples, I tend to lean towards using Emotion Focused, Somatic, Internal Family Systems, Attachment-Based and Gottman method approaches.
I currently offer services in person (Peterborough & Warkworth) and online, and am connected within the Toronto, Peterborough, and Trent Hills communities of Ontario. I see clients Mondays to Fridays, daytimes and evenings.
