Giving space and time to reflect on this wild and mysterious life is vital to wellbeing - no one is meant to do this journey alone. There are many possibilities for learning to tolerate, reclaim, and transform the inner psychological landscape. In therapy, my expertise and passion is working with adults on adjusting to change, grief, trauma, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, shedding toxic societal messages, setting boundaries, building inner resources, and reclaiming joy, pleasure, and creativity. I also support clients practicing Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM).
As a registered social worker, therapist, and researcher, I have been working in mental health since 2006, specializing in grief and bereavement since 2008. My approach is collaborative, non-judgemental, gentle, and inclusive. I view issues within their particular contexts. I am deeply committed to a person's inner freedom and empowerment.
Now more than ever, selecting a trusted practitioner requires careful discernment. I invite you to reach out for a consult and explore possibilities. I value informed choices. Of note, paying it forward for the days when I needed low-cost therapy, I have sliding scale spots available.
