Sim (she/they) is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and has their Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Sim graduated from Carleton University with an Honours Degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice and also received a Graduate Certificate in Addictions and Mental Health from Humber College.

Sim has experience working with youth and survivors of childhood trauma (including sexual abuse) and identifies as a non-binary, queer person of colour. As someone who is newly coming to terms with misophonia, hyperlexia, and being diagnosed as Autistic later in life, she is passionate about researching these conditions to better understand the day-to-day advantages and challenges that come with these neuro-differences.

Growing up in a multigenerational home and a community that did not recognize or support diagnoses during childhood has given Sim a unique perspective on navigating life as neurodivergent with limited support and inaccessible services. As is common among people assigned female at birth, Sim was initially misdiagnosed with anxiety and depression in their early twenties. She hopes that the difficult process of her own journey of self-discovery and acceptance can help clients come to terms with their diagnosis, gender identity, sexual orientation, and culture; and how these factors can shape their sense of self.

Sim is especially passionate about helping clients discover their uniqueness and not only learn to accept themselves but truly celebrate who they are. Her therapeutic style is trauma-informed and harm-reduction-based. It is very important for them to meet clients where they are in their journey. When not counseling, Sim loves (no, is obsessed with)The Lord of the Rings and her cat (the great Gandalf). They spend most of their spare time reading, watching anime, and doting on their plants.

Sim is currently accepting clients.
