This society can be a tough place to live in. I support folks who need compassionate, validating, and warm care in processing difficult emotions and experiences, and supporting them in strengthening their sense of self, well-being, efficacy, and awareness. I incorporate minority stress theory, anti-oppressive lens, and an affirmative stance in my practice.
We can work towards your mental health goals identifying unhelpful cognitions (thinking patterns), behaviours (actions), and emotions (feelings), and strategizing interventions to change them. My lived experience also allows me to personally empathize with experiences of LGBTQ+ folks. I operate from a deeply affirming stance of gender diversity.
Life can be challenging, but you don't have to do it alone. We can work together and find ways to make it better!
