About Me

Hi, I’m Mel (she/they), a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario and member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I provide queer-affirming psychotherapy for adults seeking support with anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, life transitions, etc. My practice is rooted in creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where queer and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals feel seen, respected, and supported.

I specialize in in working with queer folks, including those navigating identity exploration, relationship challenges, and the emotional impact of discrimination. I understand how stress, identity-related experiences, and systemic barriers can impact mental health, and I strive to offer therapy that is inclusive, validating, and culturally responsive.

My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based modalities, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness-based practices. Therapy sessions are tailored to your individual needs and goals, helping you develop practical coping skills, increase emotional awareness, and reconnect with a sense of safety and authenticity.
