The first session gives us time to understand what brings you to therapy and get a sense of your history, relationships, and the experiences that have shaped you. You don't need to arrive with a perfectly defined goal or know exactly what you want to change. Part of our work can be figuring that out together.

I typically encourage booking a longer 80min appointment for our very first session.

From there, sessions are conversational and exploratory. We might pay attention to recurring patterns, conflicting feelings, ways you protect yourself, or things that are difficult to put into words. Before rushing to change something, I'm often interested in understanding what it means, what purpose it may have served, and why it might be showing up now.

My services are for adults of all ages and genders, across a wide range of identities, backgrounds, sexual orientations, and relationship structures.

My practice is informed by training in culturally responsive, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive care.

People come to me at many different points in their lives.

Some are navigating difficulties with sex, intimacy, or relationships. Others are trying to understand recurring patterns, working through experiences of trauma, questioning what they want, or finding themselves in a period of change or uncertainty.

You don't need to be in crisis or have a clear idea of what's “wrong” to come to therapy. Curiosity about yourself, your relationships, or something that doesn't quite make sense yet can be enough.

I do not work with children or youth.

Yes. I work with couples who want to better understand what is happening in their relationship, particularly around intimacy, conflict, desire, trust, communication, and emotional connection. I work with people across different relationship structures, including non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships.

In couples therapy, I'm interested in the patterns that develop between partners over time: how each person responds to the other, what keeps certain conflicts repeating, and what may be happening underneath those interactions. We can look at the immediate concerns while also getting curious about the histories, vulnerabilities, expectations, and meanings each person brings into the relationship.

My couples work is relational and psychodynamic, and is also informed by my training in Relational Life Therapy (RLT). Sessions can be exploratory and direct. I may slow things down to help us understand a dynamic as it is happening, name patterns I notice, and challenge behaviours that are getting in the way of the relationship you want.

When beginning couples therapy, I typically meet with each partner individually before our first session together. This gives me a chance to understand each person's history, perspective, and experience of the relationship, and helps me develop a fuller picture of what may be happening between you.

A limited number of sliding scale spaces are available for clients who would otherwise be unable to access therapy. Please contact me to inquire about availability.

Coverage for counselling services varies between extended health benefit plans and is determined by your individual policy, regardless of whether you have been referred by a physician or other healthcare professional. Please check with your provider to confirm whether your plan covers services provided by a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling – Provisional (MPCC-P).

To increase the accessibility of my services, I offer a limited number of sliding-scale spots using the Green Bottle model. Please contact me before booking if you self-identify with tiers 1-2 on that sliding scale.

Sliding scales thrive on trust, I do not ask for verification and I trust my clients to be honest in their assessment of their financial circumstances.

Yes, I am currently accepting new clients for both in-person and online sessions.

Yes. I offer professional consultations for professionals such as therapists, counsellors, physicians, nurse practitioners, pelvic health physiotherapists, midwives, doulas, nurses, social workers, and other professionals who encounter questions about sexuality in their work but may not have specialized training in this area.

Consultation might involve thinking through how to approach sexual pain or changes in sexual functioning, desire discrepancies, sexual shame, consent and boundaries, the relational impact of illness or disability, non-monogamy and diverse relationship structures, sexual trauma, or conversations that feel difficult to navigate clinically.

I can also consult with therapists who want another clinical perspective on the sexual or relational dimensions of a case.

Professional consultation is not clinical supervision and does not replace the consulting professional's own regulatory or supervisory requirements.

My clinical thinking is primarily psychodynamic and relational, shaped by more than a decade of engagement with psychoanalytic work that began in France and continues to influence how I practice today.

I'm interested in what sits underneath the presenting concern: unconscious conflict, defenses, repetition, ambivalence, and the ways we find ourselves recreating familiar relational patterns even when we consciously want something different. I tend to get curious about symptoms before trying to change them: what they might be protecting, expressing, or making possible, and why they have become necessary now.

I pay attention to what gets communicated or enacted in the therapeutic relationship, including things that may be difficult to think about or put into words.

Sexuality is particularly important in my work, not only as behaviour or functioning, but through desire, fantasy, shame, power, prohibition, identity, and the unconscious meanings sexuality can carry.

My thinking is also shaped by feminist, trauma-informed, and sexological perspectives, with particular attention to power, gender, and culture.

I see my orientation as something I'm continuing to deepen through clinical work, supervision, ongoing study, and personal therapy.
