I'm a Registered Social Worker who works with adults (individuals and relationships/couples) and youth ages 15+. I am passionate about cultivating therapeutic spaces that are culturally-sensitive and trauma-informed. Utilizing research, professional knowledge, and lived experience, I will invite your authenticity to shine through and be celebrated. As you are the expert of your own life, we will draw upon your knowledge, strengths, curiosity, and processes of self-reflection to address challenges, gain perspective, and develop skills to help you navigate your world.
As a provider who's sex & pleasure positive, LGBTQIA+-affirming, kink-aware, poly(am)-aware, and SWer friendly, I'm here to walk with you in moving towards growth as you define it. We'll use different approaches, like DBT and narrative therapy, to inform our collaboration in exploration, storytelling, and skill building for your healing and transformation.
Since bettering your mental health is not a one-size-fits-all approach, I'll work with you to provide support in ways that best serve you in your healing journey. Empowerment, non-judgement, and curiosity are values that I hold dearly in my work. Please reach out for a free phone consultation if you would like to connect and see how I might suit your needs.
