Sexuality, intimacy, kink, and non-normative relationship desire narratives. Queer and trans existence and dealing with competing realities at the end of the anthropocene. 'Should I stay or should I go?' questions. Late diagnosis neurodiversity. Parenting, separation, divorce, making sense of the incomprehensibly difficult. We'll be a good fit if you are engaged in trying to live a meaningful life, if your feelings have been described as 'too much', if your heart is often on your sleeve, if you have stayed up late worrying about what this all means, if you want someone in your corner who can also tell it like it is.
I offer a brave and supportive space where you are invited to be vulnerable and access the parts of yourself which are longing to be seen and heard. My practice is explicitly queer and feminist, which informs how I support people of all genders to deeply explore conflict, relationship, desire, intimacy, acceptance, and authenticity.
You're already taking the next step by reading through profiles to find a good fit. I offer a free 30 minute consultation, let's connect and discover what comes next.

My work is focused supporting client to experience meaningful, authentic, and fulfilling intimate and relational lives. We do this through exploring context, making meaning, accessing body wisdom, and speaking truth to power. I use somatic practices, deep listening, humour, and heart centred connection to support people in developing their own truths and tools for accessing the life they want.
