I do intimate work with individuals, families, and couples from very diverse walks of life. I utilize a relational approach to join with you in a collaborative way: together we will define your concerns, formulate your goals, and develop an individualized plan to support your own empowerment to grow, heal, and become your best self. I am committed to curating an experience for you that is compassionate, mindful, challenging and healing. I keep the communication pathways open at all times to ensure we have a safe space for transparency & readjustments. I am LGBTQIA+, social justice-oriented, anti-oppression and anti-racism. Free PAL.
With 20 years in the field of therapy, research/scholarly writing, and advocacy work, including a Masters in Sexuality and Gender Studies, I have a knowledgeable, non-judgmental, open-minded approach to everything we humans face. I have extensive experience with LGBTQIA+, non-monogamy, kink +, and sex workers. I also specialize in addiction and recovery.
Reaching out for help can be challenging, even frightening, but I am here to be on your team. I am committed to understanding, accepting and empowering you and there is absolutely nothing I haven't heard! The human journey is a wild and often painful one - but you don't have to walk it alone. Let's align in healing and help you be your most authentic self.
