I believe that each client is the expert on their own life and it's my job to find them the right tools. In my practice the most important task I undertake is empowering my clients. Work, relationships, mental health issues and life in general are extremely difficult to cope with and above all, people need to hear that their feelings about these areas are real. After all, this is what guides people to what's most important in life. In order to do this I provide a trusting, non-judgmental, and empathetic therapeutic relationship.

I have specialized training and expertise in working with: trans, nonbinary and LGBTQ+ adults; people who engage in kink/BDSM, poly/non-monogamy. In terms of diagnoses, I treat those with difficult life experiences, trauma, family/relationship conflicts, anxiety, depression, substance use issues, low self-esteem and anger issues.

Being trans, queer, kinky, having trauma or mental health issues often means being told you're unlovable or inconvenient; in response, I recognize my clients' strengths and humanity. While I cannot radically change my clients' lives, I teach skills to manage symptoms and navigate identity, oppression and recovery.
