Who I See

18+ for both individual online therapy sessions and couples counselling across Ontario.

Who I am

I am a white settler, queer, trans-non-binary individual, and a late-diagnosed Autistic person with chronic health conditions. While our shared identities can create a foundation for connection, I believe that my natural curiosity, humility, and compassion allow me to deeply understand and honour your unique lived experiences.

Through my work, I strive to create a space where each person’s individual journey is seen and validated, fostering a therapeutic relationship built on mutual respect and understanding.

    CLIENT AREAS OF INTEREST

    I am deeply passionate about supporting queer, trans, and neurodivergent individuals in both individual and couples sessions. My goal is to provide affirming, compassionate care to LGBTQIA+ folks by creating a safer, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences and emotions without the pressure of conforming to cisgender, heterosexual, or monogamous expectations.

    For neurodivergent clients, I am committed to holding a space that celebrates your unique brain, acknowledging the strengths and challenges of your neurodivergence, and resisting the assumption that your neurodivergence needs to be “fixed.” My work supports you in navigating life’s challenges, transitions, identity exploration, and healing from internalized stigma, including ableism, transphobia, homophobia, and racism.

    MY THERAPEUTIC APPROACH

    I take a trauma-informed, affirming, and culturally responsive approach to therapy. My practice is sex-positive and kink-positive, focusing on creating a safer, inclusive environment where you feel empowered. I prioritize a client-centred approach, tailoring therapy to your unique lived experiences, goals, and values. I believe in involving you in decision-making, recognizing you as the expert of your own experiences, and working collaboratively to foster growth and healing.

  • ECLECTIC MODALITIES USED

    ECLECTIC MODALITIES USED

    I take an integrative approach, drawing on mindfulness, self-compassion, and empowerment while using an intersectional lens to guide my work. My therapeutic toolkit includes somatic psychotherapy with neurodivergent-affirming techniques, Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment/relational therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

    For couples, I employ an attachment-focused approach and apply Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help reconnect emotionally and foster deeper understanding between partners.

More About EM

My journey to psychotherapy has been a reasonably linear path. Throughout my life, I felt a calling to the therapy profession, and I went on to complete my undergraduate degree in psychology at Queen’s University in 2020 and Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University in 2024.

EXTRA TIDBITS ABOUT EM

I enjoy spending time in nature, reading, playing cozy video games (i.e. Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing), crafting, baking and indulging in just about any kind of reality TV. I also have a very chatty orange cat who you’ll surely hear and see in our sessions together.
