We all need a space where we can be ourselves. When walking alone gets hard, therapy can help us restore our sense of self and make life manageable again. Stepping into this space can look like many things: being curious about ourselves, making meaning out of painful experiences, coming into connection with vital feelings and needs, and understanding and respecting the parts of you that you want to change. For some of us, healing can only happen in a space that acknowledges the impacts of marginalization and the need for systemic change. From here, we can begin to find new ways of being in the world that honour all of who we are.
As a queer, neurodivergent, disabled therapist, I value difference and seek to lift up the complexity and lived experience each person brings. I support adults and youth ages 14+ with a special focus on neurodiversity (e.g. giftedness, Autism, ADHD) and trauma. My approach integrates relational, narrative, emotion-focused and internal family systems therapy.
Therapy is a collaborative process that we get to create together. It's a chance to step back from the way we've always done things and trust that it is possible to live more abundantly. If you connect with my approach, feel free to visit my website to learn more about how I can support you, or email me for a free 30min consult!
