About
Lea (they/them) is a settler with Irish and Scottish roots, as well as queer and spoonie chosen family. They are a guest - living, working, and growing - in the unceded traditional territory of the K’ómoks First Nation, the traditional keepers of ‘the land of plenty’ since time immemorial.
Lea is nonbinary, queer, disabled and neurodivergent, and has enjoyed co-organizing with peers on creative projects (dance, film, gardens, cooking, and others) for over ten years. Lea’s counselling style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. Together, we’ll map a counselling process led by your needs, lived experience, and goals. Lea is honoured to accompany people on their path of growth and change, and to co-create safe-enough zones in a world that imposes shame, disconnection, and distress. Providing an affirming, accessible, and COVID-conscious space for 2SLGBTQ+ and disabled people is Lea’s focus.
Lea is guided by intersectional feminisms, disability justice, mad activism and peer support, as well as by queer, trans, and polyamory communities. They are engaged in lifelong learning around their role as a treaty partner in settler-colonial ‘Canada,’ and are informed by decolonial and anti-racist practices. Lea is continually learning about somatics, abolition / de-carceral approaches to care, transformative justice and harm reduction. They deeply appreciate the creatives, thinkers, writers, and activists across multiple communities, and their friends, who have helped shape their practice and their life.
Outside of work, Lea enjoys visiting trees and bodies of water, drinking hot tea, hanging out with their kitty Zelda, re-watching TV shows, finding delight in stuffed animals and finger puppets, and slowly learning ASL.
