My practice is rooted in warmth, respect, and a genuine curiosity about each person’s unique experience. I have had the privilege of working with trans and gender-expansive individuals, neurodivergent clients, and people navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, domestic violence, sexual abuse, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, relationship difficulties, and concerns related to substance use or other addictive behaviours.
I have a particular passion for supporting gender-expansive folks, providing a safe and affirming space where their experiences are acknowledged and valued. Together, we explore how the intersections of identity, community, and lived experience shape their sense of self and relationships. My approach centres on empathy and collaboration, supporting clients in cultivating self-understanding, healing, and connection.
Working with artists is another special area of interest for me, especially with the understanding that therapeutic support tailored specifically for actors is essential. They need a space where their unique challenges are understood — not pathologized or minimized. A space where vulnerability is held safely, where performance isn't demanded, and where the actor can reconnect with their self beyond the role.
My training as an actor in both the Stanislavski and Meisner methods gives me a profound, lived understanding of these demands. I know what it feels like to mine personal memories for authenticity, to stay present in imaginary circumstances, and to expose oneself again and again for the sake of truth in storytelling. I offer a space where the complexities of their craft and their emotional world can coexist, where artistic identity is honored and mental health is prioritized.
