Feminist Therapy Therapists in Canada

Warm Greetings! I am grateful that you are here and recognize your innate strength to choose to be here. I work with clients who are navigating through their relationships with self, others, and the world. This may show up in different ways and intensities, and/or in multiple areas of life, and I value the intersectionality, complexity and uniqueness that comes with addressing and exploring your life and experiences with you. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, loss, or stress. Maybe you are wanting to rebuild trust and compassion towards yourself or navigate transitions in your life or changes in relationships. Or perhaps you want to work through some things from your past that are showing up in the present. My clinical philosophy when sitting with clients aligns with curiosity, recognition, collaboration, warmth, and space. The approach I take is based in a strong belief that you have the answers within and that our time together can be a space to explore and build. I joyfully honour your choice and your voice taking up the therapeutic space. You’ve got this, and I’m here with you. Some more about me: I am a cis, able-bodied, woman, born and raised in so-called Vancouver BC, with Indian ancestry. I am a second-gen, racialized settler living and working on the unceded and traditional lands of the sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and S’ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō) nations. Outside of my counselling work, I enjoy laughing with loved ones and connecting to practices and activities that spark creativity and joy.

you deserve to receive the same depth of care and support that you offer to others. as a neuroqueer, feminist therapist, i support careworkers, caregivers and community organizers who are seeking a space to feel resourced, witnessed, and held in their work. i specialize in meeting you in the place where grief, overwhelm, chronic illness, existential concerns and moral distress overlap. with a background that includes two decades of work in non-profit, this is terrain i have travelled and know well. my approach is experiential, embodied, intuitive, and grounded firmly in principles of harm reduction, anti-oppression, and disability justice. working through the lens of attachment allows me to support clients who want to explore how their current patterns of functioning may be related to early childhood experiences of abuse or emotional neglect. i also support clients with things like obsessive compulsive disorder, body-focused repetitive behaviours, fears and phobias, as well as pre-natal hypnosis. i have developed a self guided pre-natal hypnotherapy program that is suitable for women and birthing folks of any gender, with any family configuration that is suitable for any birth plan, including planned cesareans. i offer all new clients an introductory consultation so at no cost so you can ensure that it feels like the right fit before we begin working together.
