I start by meeting people where they are and approaching each session with curiosity, hope, and even a little humor. I wonder what is really standing between them and the life they want. Sometimes that means people need me to listen, while other times I need to ask some gentle questions. In session, you will have my full attention. Often, we have to talk about the hard stuff, and that can feel uncomfortable, but often your discomfort is the first step toward growth and change. As a therapist, I am really fortunate to see how a person's resilience, courage, and desire for a richer life often unfold as we work together.

My approach to care is grounded in active listening, empathy, and collaboration. I work closely with my patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. I work with those who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and many other mental health concerns.

The creative adjustments you have made through out your life have supported you. However, are you now finding what has worked for you in the past, is no longer effective, nor fulfilling? Through dialogue, sensory awareness, and embodied experimenting in the here and now (gestalt psychotherapy/coaching), a deeper awareness of yourself, and how to break free from your old patterns may emerge- if you are up to doing the work. Our work together will ask you to look beyond what you know, and it will challenge you to your core, to look at yourself with new eyes. The authentic engagement, and risk taking that we both will share, will be demanding at times, and at other times quite sweet- we will be relating, finding meaning, getting creative, and going beyond our perceived limits. This honest, productive, and satisfying relational contact will support your need for something different personally andor professionally. My experiences as an educator for over 10 years has shown me that children are the best at this way of being. They are totally present with what is, they question without shame, and they take responsibility when given the freedom of choice. My personal work of getting out of my head and getting back to my senses, learning to accept that slow can be fast, and that my vulnerability is my new strength, has helped me to overcome childhood trauma, addictions, mental health issues and ADHD, failed relationships, and major life and career obstacles and changes. I can hold the space for you to do the same if that is what you desire. I am an existentialist, and I have faith that we can each find our path to an authentic existence in this absurd world together, we just need support for greater awareness and contact. Reluctant to take a risk, and work with people only in my presence has taught me how my beliefs, rules, interjects, whatever you might call them, of what a therapy session "should" look like have limited my experiences and impact. Going beyond my perceived limitations, I have learned that I can see, just as well with my ears, that at times I can be even more creative, and ask different questions of you when you are not physically in my sight. These powerful insights have helped me to be open to technology, and reaching you, where ever you may be. Personally feeling like an alien at times, and wondering where are "my people" hiding on this planet, has been tough. However, by staying with my own process, I have come to some new awareness' that even if "my people" aren't in my own backyard, I can make contact. Please reach out and contact me. I will not be able to fix you, however, I will be able to support and accept you.

I bring a whole lot of warmth, curiosity, and openness to my work with individuals, couples, and others in relationship. I am guided by a firm belief that attuned relationships hold transformative power for connecting to the fullness of our experiences. They are a resource for tapping into the wisdom, pain, and longings that each of us carry. I ground my practice in a commitment to prioritize the voice, collaboration and agency of those I work with. I am also attentive to the many ways that structural power, social systems, and past and present relationships can impact our lives and the shape of our struggles. Above all, I listen closely and centre what each person identifies as relevant to them, where they are, and where they wish to go. Some of the areas where I have experience and may be able to offer support in navigating include: - relationships with partners, peers, family and others - gender, sexuality, and other facets of identity and practice - sexual and reproductive health - chronic pain, disability, madness, and neurodiversity - feeling states of anxiety, restlessness, hopelessness, depression, sadness and grief - life transitions and daily living - gender-based and sexual violence - power dynamics and harm - unwanted substance use - health-care, housing and other social systems My approach is informed by anti-oppressive, harm reduction, anti-racist, and mad values. The care I offer is sex and kink positive and affirming of queer and trans identities and non-normative relationship structures.
