Therapy can ask us to face realities we might prefer to avoid, yet many people discover that the work is deeply enlivening. My approach draws on relational psychoanalytic understanding and a commitment to attachment repair, using the therapeutic relationship as a place where old patterns can soften and new ways of relating can emerge. Together we aim to increase psychological flexibility and cultivate a greater sense of vitality in your daily life. “Psychotherapy takes place in the overlap of two areas of playing, that of the patient and that of the therapist. Psychotherapy has to do with two people playing together.” D.W. Winnicott

I'm an Indigenous (Sugpiat and Anishinaabe), nonbinary, queer, currently non-disabled, covid conscious, justice-oriented provider. I believe therapy is not meant to "fix" or "solve," rather a place to be curious, explore, learn/unlearn patterns, and invite flow, grace and compassion. I primarily use a present-centered, relational, somatic-based approach, as well as center collaboration and consent, and acknowledge various ways intersecting oppressive societal structures shape us.
