Book a free intro call or first session.

Hi, I’m a Toronto-based Registered Social Worker, specializing in ADHD, Anxiety, Trauma, and 2SLGBTQ+ Issues.

I meet people where they are at in their journey, and see them as experts in their own lives. My clients are typically very driven and capable, but may be struggling to reach their potential. I help people re-align with their values and get un-stuck from old patterns and limiting beliefs.

Helping you feel more focused, grounded, and aligned with who you are.

Who This is For

You might be here because:

  • You’re queer, trans, or non-binary and want a therapist who gets it

  • You’re living with ADHD and feel overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck

  • You’re burned out from work, relationships, or constantly masking

  • You feel like you’re “falling behind” or not living up to your potential

  • You want therapy that feels affirming, real, and actually helpful

You don’t have to explain your identity here.
You don’t have to shrink yourself to fit the space.

My Approach

Anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and grounded in real life

My work is shaped by an anti-oppressive and intersectional approach, which means:

  • Your struggles are not just individual—they are shaped by systems

  • Experiences like racism, homophobia, transphobia, and capitalism impact mental health

  • Therapy should acknowledge power, identity, and lived experience—not ignore them

Together, we:

  • Understand patterns (not just symptoms)

  • Build practical tools that work in your daily life

  • Create a space where you feel seen, not analyzed
