My Story

I am a psychotherapist who works with neurodivergent adults and youth, navigating a world that often wasn’t built for people like us in mind. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in behavioural neuroscience research and crisis care. I now bring that background into my work with clients as we make space for complexity, contradiction, grief, joy, and growth.

About Me

I came to this work with a deep belief in the power of shared language, self-understanding, and community. As a queer, autistic, and ADHD psychotherapist, my work is grounded in lived experience as much as it is in clinical training. I know what it feels like to be misinterpreted, to burn out from masking, and to move through systems that weren’t built with us in mind. As such, I believe therapy should be a place where we can show up as our full selves, even (and especially) the messy parts.

As a Psychotherapist

I offer therapy that is collaborative, affirming therapy adapted to each client’s unique needs. My work draws from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, and somatic awareness, grounded in trauma-informed and anti-oppressive frameworks. I support clients in untangling their internalized narratives, reducing masking, and learning new ways of relating to themselves and to others.

I also facilitate some of the ACCEPT groups, where we build spaces for neurodivergent youth and adults to learn, connect, and feel less alone.

Now Offering: Understanding Your Neurodivergent Operating System Discovery Package

Have you ever wondered if you might be autistic? Or wished you could explore your experiences and neurotype without pursuing a formal diagnostic assessment? I now offer an opportunity to explore your neurotype using a variety of instruments, including the MIGDAS-2, AQ, CAT-Q, RAADS-R, DASS-21, and SCQ. This is a non-diagnostic, neuroaffirming exploration designed to help you better understand your neurotype and lived experience. It does not provide a formal autism diagnosis or diagnostic report.
