What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is relational in nature and incorporates an eclectic range of interventions including CBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, mindfulness training and narrative therapy. I believe that the therapeutic process is a journey where client and practitioner work together collaboratively to achieve the client’s goals through a strengths-based and client empowerment approach. I recognize that each client’s strengths, needs and goals are unique and I tailor my therapeutic approach accordingly to best support each client.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My clinical interests include, but are not limited to: LGBTQIA+ issues; providing gender-affirming therapeutic services to assist clients in accessing necessary medical care; helping clients cope with and manage ongoing mental health needs; grief, death and loss; trauma; school issues; sexual health issues; and relationship issues. I am Kink Knowledgeable and Poly-Aware/Poly-Affirming. I believe therapy must be a safe space for clients to explore issues while acknowledging and affirming all of their intersecting identities.
