Encountering painful moments and periods of hardship is inevitable and can bring us into contact with the most fundamental parts of ourselves. I am interested in working with you to explore these moments with curiosity and self-compassion. Healing is a nonlinear process that takes time, and some things may always be unresolved; I see therapy as a safe space to collaboratively explore and articulate different facets of your experience, set therapeutic goals, and work together to create desired changes.
I take a curious, compassionate, and often playful approach that centers safety, connection, respect, and choice. I draw on various therapeutic models, integrating principles and techniques from relational psychodynamic theory, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and mindfulness/somatic practices.
My work is influenced by my own commitment to and participation in queer/2SLGBTQ+ communities and is grounded in anti-oppressive and transformative justice politics. I am comfortable with a wide variety of ways of being, values, and relationship styles. If what I have written resonates, please feel free to reach out to book an initial consult with me!
