Neurodiversity Affirming & Trauma Informed Psychotherapy
Hi, I'm Charlie (they/them). I am a trauma-focused holistic therapist that operates from culturally informed, intersectional, anti-racist, anti-ableist, and feminist values. I identify as an AuDHD non-binary lesbian and my practice is 2SLGBTQ+ and neurodiversity affirming.I provide strengths-based, client-centred therapy that fosters connection to the mind, body, spirit, community, and whole self. Together we can explore your values and intersecting identities, build self-compassion, set boundaries, and heal from childhood and complex traumas.
You are the only one who can tell the story of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I will create a safe, warm, and compassionate space to explore what these experiences mean to you, and support you on your healing journey. I welcome people from all backgrounds, and I am honoured to meet all parts that make up who you are.
I have a MA in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I'm licensed to provide therapy to those residing in Ontario and offer online video & phone sessions.
