A. Willing Therapy

I am a registered Social Worker with a background in Child and Youth Care, working specifically within youth shelter and transitional housing. I provide support for children, youth and young adults in navigating mental health, developing coping skills, and building greater self-esteem and self-acceptance. As a queer therapist I am passionate about working alongside members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to support journeys of self-discovery and mental, emotional wellbeing.

I offer support with depression and anxiety, trauma and PTSD, intergenerational trauma, family conflict and communication, identity formation and questioning, as well as suicide and self-harm.

I am informed by parts work (IFS), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), polyvagal, trauma informed stabilization treatment (TIST), and narrative approaches in my practice. I take a trauma-informed, harm reduction, and anti-oppressive approach to working with clients from all walks of life.
