​I offer a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, queer affirming and holistic approach to therapy. I see you as so much more than your issues, your pain or your struggles and can help you to see yourself in a positive light, feel worthy of love, compassion and acceptance, and live life courageously in ways that are important to you. If you are moving through change, I can help you to sort through its complexities to find your way and support you emotionally in the process. 

I work with adults going through major life changes such as career, relationship, parenthood, midlife or loss of a significant other. I also specialize in supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ folks and those with complex or childhood trauma.

​

My approach to therapy is collaborative and my use of different therapeutic approaches will depend on your goals, needs and preferences. I will check in with you to see if we're on the right track and moving in a direction that aligns with your desired outcomes.

In my work, I bring an emphasis to creating safety and connection within the therapeutic relationship; this is so important for attachment and trauma work. We will delve into issues through talk therapy to elicit a greater understanding of the patterns, contributing factors and root causes of your issues. We may engage in parts work to better know the many aspects of your psyche and Self, or I may invite you to connect with your body and emotions, and to build your capacity to feel and be present. As a longtime spiritual practitioner, I welcome you to connect with your spirituality if that is important to you.

Clients often report positive changes within the first month and continue to improve from there. Their number of sessions have varied from five to 50, depending on their circumstances. Often, they start weekly and then may move to bi-weekly as they continue to improve until sessions are no longer needed.
