I'm Jay (they/them), a transmasculine non-binary counselor with a focus on supporting people in the LGBTIQ+ community, neurodivergent folk, and others who feel like their identity or lifestyle is stigmatised or misunderstood. I work with issues of identity, meaning, and purpose and feelings of stuckness. Maybe your life doesn't feel quite right despite (or maybe especially) it looking good on paper, or old issues are starting to bubble up now. I believe that everyone deserves to have a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space to work through the issues that have brought them into therapy - however long that may take.
As someone with my own history of mental distress, I can appreciate how hard it is to reach out for help. My approach is informed by my background in peer support work - I know I don't have all the answers. Rather, my aim is to walk alongside you, listen for what's important to you, appreciate your strengths, and work together to find what works for you.
I follow a person-centred approach that treats you as the expert on your life. I also draw from attachment theory, narrative therapy, Internal Family Systems, and polyvagal theory. I am also polyamory, multiple/system, kink, and sex work friendly.
