“You’re not a bad person who needs to shape up but a good person with temporary, malleable habits that are causing you a lot of suffering

MA Counselling Psychology
Registered Psychotherapist
In-person (Peterborough & Warkworth) or online
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:
.PTSD/trauma symptoms
.depression
.anxiety
.intrusive thoughts
.disordered eating & compulsive exercise
.body dysmorphia
.relationship anxiety/ROCD
.gender identity & transition
.sexuality, intimacy, and relationships
With individuals, I tend to lean towards using Emotion Focused, Somatic, Internal Family Systems and EMDR approaches. If you don’t know what those are, don’t worry, I am happy to tell you more in a phone consultation.
With couples, I tend to lean towards using Emotion Focused, Somatic, Internal Family Systems, Attachment-Based and Gottman method approaches. Again, if you don’t know what those are, it’s my job to let you know, and I will over the phone.
I currently offer services in person (Peterborough) and online, and am connected within the Toronto, Peterborough, and Trent Hills communities of Ontario. I see clients Mondays to Thursdays, daytimes and evenings.
“Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives.
