My role as a therapist is to protect a safe environment for your work, to co-create relationship built on a bond of trust, authenticity and security, to provide empathy and be assertively challenging. I provide support for you while you increase capacity to heal, support yourself, and co-create resilient safe relationships with loved ones.
I work with an anti-oppression, decolonizing, liberation-focused lens and support all ethnicities, incomes, gender identities, abilities, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation, and family make-ups (i.e blended, foster, adoptive, biological, LGBTQQ+, monogamous, and polyamorous). I incorporate Gestalt and attachment therapies, systems perspectives, and PACT couple's therapy to reduce the neurobiological impact of stress and trauma.
I provide services to teens, adults, couples and families with issues relating to trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, life changes, parenting, and societal stressors. I write gender confirmation letters and am happy to be on your gender transition team. Together we can create a strong therapeutic relationship to support your resilience in life.
