I believe that every person has the capacity to heal and reclaim their most authentic selves. In my practice, I actively collaborate with clients to navigate relationship challenges—both past and present—and to process and heal from complex trauma.
Since beginning my journey in the field of addiction and substance use in 2012, I’ve continued to expand my clinical expertise in this area, as well as deepening my work with folks from all walks of life who are impacted by trauma and the lasting impacts it can leave - including mental health concerns, substance use, and identity-based stressors.
My therapeutic approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and non-judgemental. I tailor therapy to each client and work to meet your unique needs, honoring your full identity and life experience. You can expect this therapy to be challenging, meaningful, and honoring of your identities. I also enjoy incorporating Tarot reading into the therapy for interested clients (by no means is this ever required).
As a queer therapist, I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQIA2S+ and gender-expansive folx. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up fully and be met with understanding. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which I integrate when appropriate to support healing from trauma and/or addiction. For those who are interested, my primary modalities are Psychodynamic and Person Centered Psychotherapy (Rogerian); I am also passionate about Jung's work and Depth Psychology.
I earned my Doctorate in Psychotherapy from the University of Edinburgh in 2020. I'm currently practicing in Ontario, Canada under the supervision of Dr. Jess Erb, RP(#008555), and practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate and Certified Addictions Specialist in Colorado, USA (LPCC.0023687 and ACC.0021104, respectively). My Colorado work is supervised by Dr. Pepe Santana, LP.
