My main focus is with adult individuals and couples in the areas of sex and sexuality, intimacy, gender, and relationships. That includes but is not limited to topics such as: couple’s counselling, identity exploration, desire discrepancy, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, pain during sex, orgasm problems, BDSM and kink, polyamoury and ethical non-monogamy, infidelity and affairs, sex after trauma, cancer, disability, and the sexual impact of various life transitions. I am a safe provider for Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex, Asexual, and other folks within the gender and sexual minority umbrella.
A warm and non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship is necessary when we talk about any of the topics detailed above. I am curious, analytical, and collaborative. I have a relational and person-centred approach while also drawing occasionally from Cognitive Behaviour, Acceptance and Commitment, and Emotion Focused therapies.
For the past 15 years, sexual health has been a passion of mine, and it brings me immense joy to work with people in this area. I also have a healthcare background and for years I worked in palliative and oncology care. In addition to my interests mentioned above, I have interests in grief and loss, and navigating personal or familial health challenges.
