I work collaboratively and sensitively with whatever issues you feel ready to bring forward. This could include relationship challenges, emotional reactivity, difficulties getting needs met, conflict aversion, poor self-concept, anxiety, depression and trauma. We may spend time exploring the past, but our focus may also remain on present-day experiences. Such work can help you build self-understanding, self-compassion and emotional tolerance. It can help clarify thinking and enhance problem-solving. It is intuitive work – I believe we can start pretty much anywhere, in any session, and eventually get to where we need to go.
Relational therapy is an attuned and exploratory conversation in which we attempt to make sense of whatever you choose to bring forward. I will help you feel what needs to be felt, give language to your experiences and beliefs, and see where, how and why you might be getting stuck. My approach is feminist, anti-oppressive, LGBTQ+-affirmative & sex-positive.
I'm committed to providing a space for you to be seen, heard and known. To share your story in an empathic, judgment-free environment where we can make sense of the ways it might be impacting your present and future. I work relationally and also have training in trauma, mindfulness and somatic work. I am currently seeing clients by phone or video.
