Hi, I’m Eli. I'm a transpersonal and psychospiritual psychotherapist. I facilitate depth conversations about how to live into and through life’s big challenges, especially if you live with a heavy dose of Extenuating Circumstances. I use an integrative, relational, attachment-based approach to working through life challenges or traumas, centring your unique experiences and needs in your healing plan. I welcome clients navigating trauma processing and recovery, life/gender transitions and loss, exploring non-traditional relationship models, sex, gender and sexuality, or managing major mental illness or recovery from addiction.
As both a psychodynamic- and hospital-trained psychotherapist I listen, reflect, teach, ask good questions and help you find and use your own wisdom. I don’t use manualized treatments. As a person of marginalized identities I know finding a good fit with your therapist is essential. I am trauma-centred, anti-racist, sex-, kink-, and sex worker-affirming.
My practice is currently full. Please email me for an updated approximate wait time or to add your name to the waitlist.
