Welcome! My name is Kat (they/them), and I work with queer, trans, and racialized people in all our messy glory. I’m a Registered Social Worker and provide virtual therapy to individuals based in Ontario.

Anyone who is exposed to systemic oppression on top of navigating the everyday challenges of capitalism is bound to feel the weight of it all. Together we will work to process the trauma that is all too common in our communities; get curious about befriending your body, mind and nervous system; and support you to tap into personal and ancestral wisdom.

I’m a queer non-binary mixed Black person with a sensitive nervous system and I bring these aspects of myself, along with my experience in queer and trans community organizing, into my therapeutic work. I work with both youth (16+) and adults.

My areas of focus include:

-processing trauma, including complex and systemic trauma

-understanding and working with the nervous system and survival responses

-exploring gender and sexuality, including fluid identities and transitions of all kinds

-exploring racial identity, mixed race experiences, and intersectionality

-navigating non-traditional relationship configurations, including non-monogamy and kink dynamics

-working with intense emotional experiences, including what may be described as anxiety, depression, dissociation, suicidality, and psychosis

I’m neurodiversity-affirming and create a welcoming environment for folks to explore multiple aspects of self. I use a variety of therapeutic styles depending on the needs of the person I’m working with. My work is informed by Somatics (body-focused therapy), Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (parts work) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. Depending on the client, we may also tap into spiritual or ancestral approaches to healing. Regardless of approach, I believe that a sense of safety and connection is the most vital aspect of our work together.

Each of us contains the seeds of our own healing, and it is my honour to walk alongside you as you work towards greater wholeness. My style is warm, non-pathologizing, compassionate, and casual. Though there may be intensity or tears in sessions together, there is often laughter and playfulness too. All parts of you are welcome here!

Please reach out for a free consult if you’re curious about working together.
