Queer, trans, and gender-affirming online counselling

I provide online counselling across Canada for queer and gender-diverse folks. You deserve a counsellor who gets it, and my practice is informed by both training and lived experience.

You don’t need to justify who you are.

Here are some of the experiences that bring people to working with me:

  • Wondering if you’re queer enough or trans enough to use the label

  • Balancing the need to read the room and have a regulated nervous system

  • Grieving or exiting relationships, faiths, or communities that couldn’t accept your true self

  • Carrying the loneliness of being the only out person in your community

  • Coping with the specific ache of, “I accept you, but…”

  • Figuring out your relationship with passing: Wanting it, resenting it, rejecting it

  • Processing dysphoria and celebrating euphoria

  • Existing as nonbinary in a world that often offers only two boxes

  • Untangling who you are from who you were expected to be

  • Living with minority stress, microaggressions, and a fear of reactions

  • Realising the heavy influence of compulsory heterosexuality (comphet) and heteronormativity

  • Sorting the “date them, or be them?” energy of Sailor Uranus, Will Truman, Noxeema Jackson, Willow Rosenberg, and Dana Scully

Or maybe you simply want a counsellor who understands intersectionality. That’s welcome too.

Counselling that meets you where you’re at.

Queer affirming care can look like a lot of things, but here’s some of the ways I can support you:

  • Grieving previous lives and identities

  • Preparing for, or processing, coming out

  • Supporting informed decision-making around social or medical transitions

  • Strengthening self-advocacy and boundaries

  • Battling internalised phobias and stigma

  • Finding non-traditional family and community

  • Processing queer trauma and discrimination

  • Reconnecting with your body

  • Fostering self-compassion, acceptance, and pride, while holding grief, sadness, and other complexities

  • Exploring the intersectionality of your queerness and neurodivergence

  • Making decisions for yourself without needing outside permission

I can walk alongside you, as you unveil yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions about Queer Counselling

  • No. No labels, plans, or certainty are necessary. Sometimes clients start with clear language, and others are figuring it out. Both are welcome.

  • Yes. Whether you identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, trans, asexual, non-binary, 2S, aromantic, or anything else under the queer umbrella, you’re more than welcome.

  • Yes. Whether you’re exploring pronouns and names, coming out, or navigating medical procedures, I’ve got you!

  • This is an unfortunately common and painful spot to be in. I can help navigate those relationships, whatever that looks like for you.

  • Not yet. If you’re interested in a readiness assessment, I’m happy to connect you with a professional who offers them.

  • Yes! You can read more about me here, and you’re welcome to ask further questions.

  • Queer counselling begins with the stance that your identity isn’t a problem, even if it’s been treated that way elsewhere and acknowledges the impact of societal oppression. I focus on what actually brings you to counselling, whether that’s related to queerness or not, and you don’t need to defend it to me.

  • Yes. Our intersecting identities don’t exist separately from one another. My approach prioritises an intersectional lens and recognises that queerness doesn’t exist apart from disability, culture, neurodivergence, or other parts of you.

  • Yes, I offer online counselling to clients in Canada’s unregulated provinces and territories, including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland & Labrador, Yukon, Nunavut, and Northwest Territories.
