Events & Speaking Engagements

I’m not just a therapist. I’m also a speaker, educator, and active community member, especially within the worlds of ethical non-monogamy, relationship diversity, and the electronic music culture I’ve been part of for over two decades.

My work centers on a concept I developed in 2023 called Ethical Love, a values-based, conscious approach to relationships across diverse structures and identities. At the heart of this work is the REACH framework: Respect. Evolution. Autonomy. Communication. Honesty. These five principles guide my workshops, public talks, and therapeutic education sessions throughout Toronto and beyond.

Core Themes:

I offer engaging, therapeutic presentations and educational events on:

  • Ethical non-monogamy (polyamory, open relationships, swinging)

  • Love and connection through the lens of identity, stigma, and societal norms

  • Ancient Greek concepts of love, reimagined through modern relational boundaries.

  • Relationship diversity and de-stigmatization

  • Integrative healing and self-reclamation

  • Mental wellness through dance, music, and community, especially in outdoor and rave-based settings

Rave Culture & Mental Health Advocacy:

As a mental health advocate in the electronic music (also known as “rave”) scene, a subset of the “after-dark” subcultures I serve, I promote the benefits of dance, music, community, and outdoor experiences as tools for emotional well-being. These spaces are more than nightlife, they’re sacred, healing, and expressive.

In May 2025, I co-hosted Make It Funky in Toronto, helping to bring mental health awareness to the dance floor. This July, I’ll be partnering with Groovin’ in the Park to support the intersection of electronic music culture and mental wellness, fostering resilience, connection, and joy through embodied community care.
