I work from a neuroaffirming, LGBTQIA+ affirming and trauma-informed perspective, drawing from approaches including ACT, DBT, and narrative and strengths-based practice.

 

I support people experiencing things like anxiety, depression, burnout, gender dysphoria, questions around gender or sexuality, and the challenges that can come with being neurodivergent, whether formally diagnosed, self-identified or still figuring out what fits.

 

I don’t expect you to adapt yourself to fit therapy. Often, the strategy itself doesn’t need to change, we just need to change how we get there. That might mean talking something through instead of writing it down, using more concrete language, or finding another way to access the same idea when the usual method doesn’t work for you.

 

I’m also not here to sit across from you and tell you how to live your life or give you advice. I see therapy as something we do collaboratively. Sometimes that might mean making sense of what’s happening. Sometimes it’s finding a practical strategy that makes things a little more manageable. Sometimes it’s working out the next step when there isn’t an obvious one yet.

 

My job is to sit alongside you and help you find approaches that actually work for you, not turn you into the person a textbook says you should be.

 

When we work together, I’ll bring my clinical knowledge and skills to the table. You bring the expertise on being you.
