I’m a transgender, non-binary, queer, neurodivergent therapist who offers support to adolescents and adults. I specialize in working with queer folks in areas such as gender and sexuality, sex work, sexual violence, depression, anxiety, trauma, and neurodiversity. My work is informed by values of anti-racism, queer theory, and harm reduction. I take a client-centred, affirming approach to sex work, kink, and non-traditional family orientations. I often integrate humour into client interactions to foster genuine connection and build authentic rapport for therapeutic support.
I strive to create a non-judgmental space for client exploration and self-determination. As an anti-oppressive practitioner, I work through a systemic lens to recognize the intersecting oppression faced by marginalized communities. I believe that therapy can be a space to build connection and deconstruct the trauma of living within oppressive structures.
