English
| Français Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Unsure? I might be able to help. If you're looking for a therapist who is warm, collaborative and non-judgmental, then we might be a good fit. I tend to do well with clients who are looking to understand the influence of shame and negative beliefs on their life, and who'd like to explore how to go about reclaiming their story. I have over 15 years of professional experience supporting people with issues related to mental health, relationships, and sexual well-being. I love this work and I treat every person’s story with respect and dignity.
I typically support clients working towards improving mental health, setting boundaries in relationships, navigating ethical non-monogamy and BDSM dynamics, exploring gender possibilities and transition-related decisions, and responding to various forms of oppression (e.g., body-shaming, biphobia, racism, HIV stigma) in their lives.
Your story matters, and it’s important that you work with a therapist with whom you feel safe and comfortable. Please feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail for a free 15–30 minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Je suis francophone et j’offre également des services en français.
