Registered Counselling Therapist
Halifax Trans & Nonbinary Therapist
I work with teens and adults who are exploring their identity or navigating life as trans, nonbinary, or gender-diverse. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or lost. You might be dealing with anxiety or depression, going through a transition, or facing challenges in school, work, or relationships that are making life difficult to enjoy.
What I Can Help You With
Life can be complicated. I understand, and I’m here to help. Together, we’ll figure out who you are, who you want be, and how to get there. In our sessions, we’ll explore the challenges and wins that have shaped you, so you can build confidence, find happiness, and gain insight.
My Approach to Therapy
My work is grounded in respect, collaboration, and compassion. Using evidence-based approaches like narrative, solution-focused, and collaborative therapy, we’ll work through what’s holding you back and weighing you down to help you move forward with purpose.
My Experience
As a queer and trans therapist with lived experience of medical transitioning, I offer skilled and supportive care to LGBTQ2IA+ individuals. I currently serve as the Clinical Director at Insight Mental Health Counselling, with previous roles as a Counsellor at Dalhousie University and a Child and Youth Mental Health Clinician for the BC government. I hold a Master of Education in Counselling (M.Ed) from Acadia University, where my thesis on the intersection of mental illness and identity was nominated for a Governor General’s Award.
