Hi, I’m Eli. 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 work from a relational approach, centring your unique experiences in your healing path. As a Trans person with lived experience at the margins, I know finding the right fit with your therapist is essential. I take a trauma-informed, anti-racist, sex- and kink-affirming and culturally-aware approach in my work with people of all identities. I specifically welcome clients with lived experience of trauma, mental illness and the Two Spirit, LGBTQIA community.
I'm a transpersonal and psychospiritual therapist. As a hospital-trained practitioner in major mental illness, I work best with clients ready to co-explore the challenges, traumas and gifts of a human life. I don’t use manualized treatment models, worksheets, or give homework. I listen, reflect, ask good questions and help you find and use your own wisdom.
I welcome clients navigating trauma recovery, life/gender transitions and loss, relationships, sex, gender and sexuality, and mental health management and recovery from addiction. I work best with individuals that have a good level of stability in their daily experience, are in active recovery and are ready to take action to improve their lives.
