My approach is 2S-LGBTQIA+ affirming, intersectional, neurodivergence-affirming, collaborative, and integrative, creating space for meaning-making and a diverse range of identities. I worked in health care for 13 years, supporting people of varied ethno-cultural backgrounds, and have completed Indigenous cultural safety/ anti-racism training. I've supported 2S-LGBTQIA+ clients since 2015. (Please note that I'm unable to provide a second letter of assessment for bottom surgery, but can refer.) My office is in an accessible, positive space. It is scent-free, sensory friendly, and masked sessions are available on request.
Areas of special interest/ experience include: grief/ loss; neurodivergence; complex relational trauma; social anxiety; coming out; gender questioning/ transition; internalized homo/ bi/ transphobia; spiritual concerns; religious trauma; conversion 'therapy' trauma. Please note that I only work with young people who are freely consenting to therapy.
Emotion-focused therapy is the 'ground' of my practice, and I weave in the other modalities listed on my profile as they are a fit. My role is to facilitate you safely exploring your emotions and experiences at your own pace to connect with greater freedom and personal empowerment. Initial consultations are available by phone or video.
