As a counselor, I remain true to myself in the sense that I am direct, warm, honest, compassionate, and expressive with my reactions. I tend to be casual in my approach, so if something is funny, I will laugh with you, and if something is sad or distressing, I will share those feelings with you as well. While it is important to me that I remain as objective as possible, I firmly believe that the therapist themself serves as a tool that contributes to your therapeutic process. For that reason, I believe our connection must be fostered collaboratively and authentically.
I am passionate about working with clients who are feeling stuck, feeling lost, and who feel trapped in or by the systems that they are a part of. When I think of systems, I think of the relationships we have; with ourselves, with our partners, our family, our jobs, our hobbies and interests, societal norms, and so on.
As for my approach, I tend to gravitate towards Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Additionally, I am sex positive, kink and BDSM-affirming, queer and gender-affirming, as well as polyamory and consensual non monogamy-affirming. I am currently obtaining clinical guidance in sex therapy, and planning to soon become a certified sex therapist.
