I strive for our work together to be a place that is safe enough to honour and hold your struggle, your courage, and your joy. My training in AEDP, IFS, and Focusing Oriented Therapy help us show up compassionately to all parts of ourselves and all aspects of our emotional experience, including the ones we may struggle to be with. In our work, I accompany you into moments of homecoming to the body, while honouring the reasons you may have had to leave it. Learn More…

In my work with relationships beyond mono- and hetero-normativity, I am passionate about understanding the culture that your relationship exists within, and the culture which has been created between you. I draw upon my training in the Developmental Model for Couples Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples to mirror the patterns you elicit in one another, and experientially work with moments of connection and disconnection in the here-and-now.
