Tired of therapy sessions that feel like a one-way conversation? With me you'll receive a dynamic, back and forth exploration where we approach your issues with curiosity and compassion. Through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) or "Parts Work" lens, together we will help you understand the deeper ‘whys' of your patterns, and how to "reparent" yourself in order to create a life filled with more agency, compassion and self-acceptance. I take the time to get to know you and all your parts, and collaboratively we will come up with reframes that feel logical, compassionate and lead to lasting change. Queer Friendly/Poly + Kink positive.
I specialize in: General Anxiety, Relationship Anxiety/ROCD, Couples & Poly/ Non-Monogamous Relationships, Parentification as a child, LGBTQ+ issues, Gender-Exploration, Neurodiversity (ADHD/Autism). I also use a social justice lens in all the work I do with my clients, connecting your struggles to the broader social context.
Taking the first step towards finding a therapist can be daunting and exhausting. Even making it to the point of reading through therapist's post on psychology today is a win! If you feel like I might be a good fit for you, please email me to set up a free 20 minute discovery call!

I love helping couples/relationships of all kinds find connection, balance and to foster deep understanding of each other. I take a parts-work approach to couples/poly/non-monogamous dynamics to help clients better understand conflict cycles, and better attune to each others unique needs. Clients learn how to tend to themselves, take ownership of their needs, and also care for their partner(s).

I use mostly a parts work/IFS approach to therapy, which means I conceptualize you as having a "constellation" of selves with different needs, wounds and ways of getting those needs met. Sometimes these parts are in conflict, which can cause a lot of emotional turmoil. I help you become the 'parent' of all of these parts so that you can lead from your adult self in decision making and behaviour.
