Counselling, Consulting, Education, & Clinical Supervision

There is no one way to be trans, non-binary, gender diverse, gender creative or however else someone might describe their gender - we are all different and unique, and so are our experiences of our genders. I provide general counselling to people of all genders, as well as hormone readiness assessments and surgical readiness assessments for people who are seeking them. 

​​

I use an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed approach with hormone readiness and surgical readiness assessments. I have been working professionally with Two-Spirit, trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people on issues of gender and sexuality since 2011. 

​

Through my work with Dr. Wallace Wong, I am able to provide gender dysphoria assessments to children and youth. You can book that through Dr. Wong's office, and request to see me for a gender dysphoria assessment. All Dr. Wong's standard fees and processes will apply. https://diversitycentre.net/

Extended Health Benefit Coverage

Counselling (including assessments) with me is often covered by extended health benefits, if you have extended health benefits through your work, university/school, your family, your pension plan, etc. You can look up your extended health benefit plan online or call them, and see if they cover counselling with a Registered Social Worker. 

​

Coverage for most Indigenous people through First Nations Health Authority (FNHA)

I am registered through FNHA, am able to provide assessments to most Indigenous people (with and without Status) and have it be covered through FNHA's mental health benefits. You do not need to have a status number or be registered with FNHA to access these benefits, it is the counsellor's role to navigate these benefits and submit the needed documentation to FNHA.
