I work collaboratively and sensitively with whatever issues you want to explore. This could include relationship challenges, emotional regulation, difficulties getting needs met, conflict aversion, poor self-concept, anxiety, depression and trauma. We may spend time exploring the past, but our focus will also remain on present-day experiences. Such work can help build self-understanding, self-compassion and emotional tolerance. It can help clarify thinking and enhance problem-solving. It is intuitive work – we start with where you are and what you want help with, and then find our way through the unknown together.
Relational therapy is an attuned and exploratory conversation in which we attempt to make sense of your experiences and responses. I will help you feel what needs to be felt, give language to your feelings and beliefs, and see where, how and why you might be getting stuck. My approach is feminist, anti-oppressive, LGBTQ+-affirmative and sex-positive.
I'm committed to providing a space for you to be seen, heard and known. To share your story in an empathic, judgment-free environment where we can make sense of the ways it might be impacting your present and future. I work relationally and also have training in trauma, mindfulness and somatic work.
