About
Are you wary of labels and conformity? If so, I am an LGBTQ+ and sex worker ally, polyam- and kink-aware, and I work with people whose lives fall beyond the norms dictated by our society. Maybe you don't fit into the simple binary of “male” or “female.” Maybe you're consensually non-monogamous. Maybe you're experimenting with kink. Or maybe all of the above. As a practitioner of collaborative therapy, I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and it is not my role to tell you what’s wrong and what to fix. Rather, I am here to listen to you and to help you develop the solutions that work best for you.
For couples, my preferred theoretical model is a blend of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy. For both individuals and couples, I lean towards Narrative Therapy and Solutions-Oriented Brief Therapy, adding in Dialectical Behavior Therapy as needed or preferred.
If your relationship preferences are non-conforming or just not labelable, you may face challenges in understanding and acceptance from friends and loved ones, counseling professionals, or maybe even yourself. My goal is to help you manage these challenges coming from the outside while working on and strengthening your relationship from the inside.
