I have always believed that love and connection are the true purpose of human existence. I became fascinated from a young age with why people do the things they do, and why so much of what we do leads us to loneliness and disconnection instead of love. This curiosity lead me to study psychology, where I found my passion in working with clients on issues surrounding relationships, identity, and connection.

I am originally from Canada and came to Denver to complete my Master’s in International Disaster Psychology, and I am currently working towards getting my doctorate. My Master’s focused heavily on the intersecting roles that trauma, culture, and identity play in our lives. I’ve worked in several community mental health settings and with a diverse array of clients, including people in substance use recovery, refugees, and primarily LGBTQIA+ populations. I’ve seen so many ways in which people feel unsafe because of their identities and the things they’ve experienced, and I’ve been honored to be part of their healing journeys. Throughout it all, connection has been the theme I’ve found that has been most important, because healing doesn’t happen in isolation. This has drawn me to work with couples to explore this theme further.

Feeling seen and heard without judgment is the foundation of healing, and that is the space I strive to create with clients. I draw from attachment, emotion-focused, person-centered, and psychodynamic theories, and I strongly believe therapy should be a good balance of laughing and crying. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, gender identity exploration, non-monogamy, and exploring the role of relationships and sex in healing from trauma.
