A safe, non judgemental space for all minds, bodies, and identities
What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is an effective way to alleviate mental and emotional pain caused by distressing life events, adverse experiences, depression, anxiety, or the long lasting effects of developmental/childhood trauma. It can also be used to gain deeper insight into unconscious motivations and unhelpful behaviours that may be impacting your life in undesirable ways.
An inclusive, collaborative approach
I offer psychotherapy for people of diverse backgrounds, lifestyles, cultures, and identities. I can help those who are seeking support through a particularly difficult life event, or those who wish to explore their thoughts, feelings, relationships, and life experiences more deeply. My collaborative approach ensures that the client has agency and is in the driver’s seat of their therapy journey. I embrace and honour each individual’s uniqueness and strive to support my clients towards their own definition of wellbeing.
As a relational psychotherapist, I consider the therapeutic relationship to be an important element of the work. This corresponds with research findings which consistently show that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for successful therapy outcomes. My professional training and experience have been informed by psychodynamic theory, attachment and other developmental theories, inter-cultural perspectives, neuroscience, trauma research, and embodied awareness.
I have an anti-oppressive practice that puts high value on equity and inclusivity. I welcome people of all abilities, LGBTQI+ and Black, Indigenous, People of colour (BIPOC) communities, I am sex-positive and sex-worker friendly.
