Zoey (they/she) is a collaborative, trauma-informed counsellor who works with adults of all ages to make sense of their experiences, feel awake to the current moment, and create a path toward renewal and growth. Their approach emphasizes compassion, curiosity, personal agency, social interconnection, and tapping into the body’s knowledge. Understanding that the identities and beliefs we hold matter, they believe that we all deserve the opportunity to develop our sense of self, belonging, and purpose in a compassionate space that acknowledges the broader contexts that shape us. 

Zoey specializes in supporting people with life transitions, relationship issues, identity-based concerns, trauma processing, anxiety, and dissociation. As a part of the queer community themselves, they have sought out specific training and experience in working with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. They support people with diverse relationship structures, sexualities, gender identities and expressions, values, and practices.

In sessions together, you will be welcomed into a warm environment where all the parts of your inner world can be heard and understood in different ways. Building off these understandings, you can develop new ways to effectively navigate inner conflict, uncertainty, internalized shame, and other barriers holding you back. Tailoring sessions to fit your needs, they integrate therapeutic approaches that allow you to lighten the burden of past experiences and beliefs that no longer serve you, while taking tangible steps towards the life and relationships you want.

Zoey draws on Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Somatic approaches to harness your innate capacity for survival and healing. Their approach is anti-oppressive, intersectional, and relational.

Zoey is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and offers online and in-person sessions. Please ask about their sliding scale availability if you are facing financial barriers to care.
