Therapy for me encompasses three key values: connecting with people, working creatively, and discussing life philosophically. 

​​

I am a 36 yr old queer therapist and have been working in private practice for the last 7 years. My background is in philosophy, which forms a fundamental part of my therapeutic approach, and also greatly influences the way I think about relationships with ourselves, others and the world. 

 

For me therapy is a philosophical and spiritual journey to help you better understand how to bring your life back into homeostasis. We do this by learning how to integrate all aspects of ourselves; the good, the bad and the ugly. Also, mind, body, emotions and spirit. 

 

Through the process sometimes we will have to move into vulnerable and uncomfortable spaces, but we can also laugh and share in the beauty and joy of life.

​

 My therapeutic style is based on making the line between who I am as a person and who I am as a therapist as thin as possible. In this way I aim to create a therapeutic process connecting on a person-to-person level. I am also an integrative therapist which means I weave together a wide range of knowledge and skills to best meet your needs as a client. This includes both therapeutic modalities but also may include other skills such as; yoga, breathwork, somatics, movement, artistic practices, philosophy and creative embodiment.

​

I am not a silent aloof professional nodding and making soothing noises. I see myself as a therapist who is a collaborator; a present, active and engaged participant in your process. Offering my own thoughts, feelings and observations to help make connections between present difficulties and past experiences.

Together we will work to bring greater self-awareness to what is troubling you and what aspects of your life you are wanting to understand and work on. As well as building self-esteem and self confidence in what makes you you!
