Description of Practice
Relationships shape how we experience ourselves, our bodies, our sexuality, and the world around us. Whether you're struggling with intimacy, communication, desire, trauma, anxiety, grief, neurodivergence, or major life transitions, therapy offers an opportunity to better understand the patterns that have brought you here and create meaningful change. I work with individuals and relationships from all backgrounds, identities, sexual orientations, genders, and relationship structures. My practice is LGBTTQ+ affirming, sex-positive, trauma-informed, and inclusive
I sit across from you as the perfectly, flawed human that I am with an open invitation for you to join me for an intimate conversation. We refer to this as the “work” and while it can be challenging, I will do my best to create an environment that is safe, full of compassion, and provide a non-judgmental environment with my great desire to know you. I ask you to simply show up and be open to the discovery ahead.
I love stories, and I hold a deep passion for people and their stories - they are how we make sense of the world and connect with one another
Culturally, I was exposed to storytelling in my childhood, as a way of connecting with loved ones by sharing knowledge, moments of sadness, joyful endeavours, and the earnest dreams that tomorrow would bring
My life has been a series of unexpected endings, none of them perfect, but all of them leading me here, to this privileged work. I embrace my insatiable curiosity to explore, understand, and appreciate your unique story, just as it is
