Welcome! I am a Queer German-Romany settler living on the breathtaking Lekwungen Territory and I am Clinical Director and founder of Wildwood Therapy. I share my time between supporting my teammates, matching new clients with their dream counsellor, supervising our trainees, and providing individual and dyadic psychotherapy. I use an evidence-based, feminist approach that combines neuroscience with relational, somatic, and emotional healing. I like helping folks learn how to process emotions and navigate through experiences like:
Career-Related Vicarious Trauma
Increasing Self-Esteem and Confidence
Oppression & Bullying
2SLGBTQIA+ Identity
Trauma, PTSD, cPTSD
Grief & Loss
Neurodivergence
Anxious Symptoms & Panic
Depressive Symptoms
Cancer as a Young Adult
Social Anxiety
Polyamory and ENM
and more…
I am a naturalist and enjoy playing outside, laughing hysterically with loved ones, and looking for adventure. Inclusion and freedom are important to me and I choose to find joy in the small things. I recently took up curling - ask me about it!
