Hi! I’m Teddy (they/them). I’m a therapeutic social worker who works with people who are feeling overwhelmed with life - whether it’s mental health, complex trauma, being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world, coming to terms with identity and queerness, or juggling new parenting with the demands of everyday life, I offer a place to feel supported, heard, and understood, as well as building skills and knowledge to help navigate the tricky times.
Everyone is different and needs a unique approach to therapy. I use techniques from a range of modalities alongside a strong therapeutic relationship. I love to talk about how the brain works, explore deeply-held core beliefs, reduce the shame around mental health and disability, and help come up with creative ways to make life work.
I believe that people do the best they can with what they’ve got, and that everyone has strengths they can work with. As a social worker I don’t just think about mental health by itself, I also think about the ways your environment, society, and your past impacts on your wellbeing. If you need someone to walk alongside you, please reach out and lets chat.
