Schedule: Tuesday-Friday 8am-2pm

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!

My RCC license number is 18489
