May/June 2026 Availability for Couples and individuals. Sex Therapy, Mental Health Counselling and Relationship Therapy. I take guidance from clients on where they're at and what they might need, taking it at your own pace. I am sex worker friendly, Lgbtiqa+sb inclusive, kink and poly aware and gender affirming. My areas of interest are working in topics of sex and relationships, including sexual pain and anxiety. I am experienced with working with trauma and have worked with survivors of family violence and a variety of marginalised and diverse communities including different cultural backgrounds.
I work with individuals and couples, meeting them where they are at in a safe, trauma-informed and non-judgemental way. I work with a variety of modalities and check in throughout the process. Some of these include, psycho-education, cognitive behavioural therapy, emotion-focused therapy, schema therapy and motivational interviewing.
If you wish to know anything more about me please feel free to reach out. I aim to make all my clients feel safe and validated in a space they can explore things they might not have before. I hope if prospective clients resonate with my profile, they feel free to reach out with a email or a short chat over the phone.
