I integrate mindfulness (staying grounded in the present moment), somatic techniques (listening to the wisdom of the body), and my knowledge of internal family systems therapy in my approach.
I am an LGBTQ2IA+, non-monogamy, and polyamorous affirming therapist who understands the complexities that come with living outside the heterosexual status quo. I also know how liberating it is to live out your truth as your authentic self. I work from the truth that you are the expert on your experience; my job is to be your empathetic and compassionate companion. I have experience working with grief, life transitions, health complications, trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, loneliness, and issues related to death and dying.

I employ Western and Eastern modalities - CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), Psychodynamic Therapy, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems, Energy Psychology - Yoga, Reiki, Mindfulness and Meditation.
Providing a balance of support and challenge, my approach to healing is holistic and comprehensive. I believe that each individual has all of the inner resources they need to achieve a sense of balance and equanimity. My role is merely to provide a safe, non-judgmental container in which they can reach their own integration - cognitively, emotionally and somatically. I aim to assist the individual's journey-making process through offering new ways at looking through the lens which often gets obscured by many mitigating factors. Clarity is the goal.

Therapy space often starts as a brave space, because of your decision to entrust your story with a stranger, in this case, me :). My responsibility as your therapist is to turn the brave space into a safe space for every part of you. I often think about the therapy as the process of putting together puzzles that don’t come with the original image. My role as your therapist is to accompany you to explore each piece with curiosity and acceptance, so that you can make sense of your pieces and construct images that feel authentic to you.

If you choose to work with me I will strive to create a safe, respectful and meaningful relationship with you. I will listen carefully, with empathy and without judgement. Sometimes I ask a lot of questions in order to understand, to the best of my ability, what things are like for you. In working together to help me understand your story, usually what happens is that things start to make more sense for you too. Confusion often gives way to clarity. Feelings such as anxiety, anger, depression and isolation often subside as well.

I believe that every person has a right to make their own life choices. These choices do not always align with the values of the family or culture of which the person is part of and this can create many challenges for people. My role as a therapist is to help clients determine what they want to achieve and to support them as they move forward with their goals.

Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
