Aurora recognizes the important roles that relationships, experiences, and beliefs play in our daily lives. Our family and childhood influence our personal development; however, they are not the only determinants of who we become.

We may struggle in adjusting to them, or feel stuck in old patterns of responding that no longer work for us. Aurora adopts a client-centered approach and values all aspects of a person's physical, mental, and social world.

Hey There! I'm Bee. I am a quirky, non binary, queer and neurodivergent therapist who has a social justice, existential and feminist lens when it comes to therapy. My focus is on exploring personal identity. What does it mean to be Queer in a heteronormative world? What are your own values versus values imposed by society? I bring authenticity to the therapy room, creating a comfortable space for you to express yourself as you wish (slippers and coziness welcome!). I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, addressing complex trauma and exploring gender/identity.

My experience as a therapist for over two decades has shown me that we have been programed through the hormones of stress and traumas to repeat the same thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Without changing and deprogramming from the inside out our lives and our relationships become dysfunctional and problematic. If you ever asked yourself if you may be narcissistic or someone might suggest that you are it's possible that your thoughts and behaviors become harmful to yourself and others. If you've ever thought that depression and anxiety have taken a real life than you have been programmed through the hormones of stress.

Relationships have the potential to be great sources of meaning and connection, and yet, sometimes they can be confusing and stressful.

Together we can name, process, and explore things that may keep you feeling stuck, like systemic barriers, abuse, traumatic experiences, relationship patterns, and self-limiting beliefs. I strive to provide a respectful space for curiosity and expression to help clients strengthen bonds and gain clarity around their relationship norms and expectations.
