I work with adults who are navigating in-between times and places, relationship struggles, grief and loss, and challenges that prevent them from fully showing up in their lives. I believe therapy is a place to strengthen connection to self, and also locate that self within larger systems. Our environments, cultures, institutions, and lineages influence us in different ways - to find our power, we must understand the world around us, and the stories we live within. My work with couples attends to the individuals and the dynamics between them.
I am a queer therapist working from a trauma-informed, justice-oriented framework. I am 2SLGBTQ+ & neurodivergent affirming. It’s important to me that we centre your needs and move at your pace. Drawing from existential, narrative, IFS, somatic, and humanistic approaches, my work is collaborative and creative.
I strive to support your growth through deep listening, reflection, curiosity and exploration. If something here has sparked your interest, please reach out. Book a free consultation and let’s explore fit.
