I work with adults of all genders and sexual orientations, gay, straight, bi, queer, transgender, non-binary. I work with you.
If you’re LGBTQIA+ and navigating anxiety, identity questions, relationship challenges, family dynamics, or just trying to feel more at home in yourself and your body, this is a space where you don’t have to explain or filter who you are. You can show up as you are.

8 Years Experience
Online in Kelowna, BC (Online Only)
Kelowna is British Columbia's Okanagan Valley hub, a lakeside city whose combination of wine tourism, outdoor recreation, and rapid real estate growth has transformed it into one of BC's most sought-after places to live, with a correspondingly growing demand for mental health services. Interior Health provides public mental health services to the region, and a growing private therapy sector serves the city's mix of retirees, young families, tech workers, and seasonal residents. Wildfire risk has become an increasingly prominent source of climate anxiety and community stress as BC's fire seasons have intensified, and several local therapists have developed expertise in disaster trauma and environmental grief. Common therapy concerns include relocation and life transition stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and the financial pressure of living in a market where housing costs have risen dramatically.
