I am a descendent of early settlers on Coast Salish territories and arrive at this work with continuous commitment to live and work in a good way and in relationship with Lək̓ʷəŋən, Schian’exw, Ts’ouke, and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, lands, and waterways. I am immensely grateful for the Indigenous caretakers, Elders, and Two-Spirit people who have shaped how I approach my work. I hope that I may honour what has been shared with me and my community through living respectfully on these lands and centring a decolonial and relational lens in my practice.

As a trans and queer person, I am deeply committed to the well-being of trans and queer community and families. I centre gender-affirming approaches in my practice that create room for exploration, uncertainty, ambivalence, and gender joy. I am passionate about working alongside trans, non-binary, and questioning youth as well as their family members, including parents, grandparents, and siblings. As a parent, I also enjoy working with queer and trans folks who are parents and/or are considering growing their family.

My counselling approach is relational and collaborative, adapting to meet you where you are at. I am grounded in a commitment to resist Western approaches to psychotherapy, while integrating somatic approaches, attachment theory, trauma-informed practice, and anti-oppressive approaches. As a nature-based therapist, my commitment is to work collaboratively with nature-beings to foster relational repair and nourish belonging.

When I am not counselling or teaching, you can find me outside adventuring with my family or doing community organizing. In the rare moments of calm in the chaos of parenthood, I love listening to podcasts and audiobooks while I garden or make sourdough bread. I am always up for a cold water dip!
