I am highly passionate about working with young people & my own queer community, including other gay men, gender diverse & HIV positive folk, as well as all people from minority groups or diverse cultural backgrounds, including neurodiverse folk & people with a disability. As members of marginalised populations, we often share that sense of shame (as well as pride!) that comes with not living up to the dominant culture's expectations of 'normal'. Queerphobia, racism, ableism, sexism, toxic masculinity, minority stress, micro-aggressions, internalised shame & identity concerns are often daily experiences for many of us.
In my work with clients I aim to help them unpack their concerns, validate their experience, explore 'solutions' & work to develop skills and strategies to manage these concerns. I am highly experienced in working with young people from 12 years old and up, the LGBTIQA community, HIV positive folk, migrants, refugees & First Nations communities.
I'm a keen meditation & yoga practitioner (& teacher) of 21 years. I’m passionate about group work, especially involving creative movement practices, & I have a strong interest in dance, drama & expressive arts-based therapies. In my spare time I’m a writer & performer who loves the theatre. I adore anything that involves travel, adventure, nature & hiking.
