Collaborative

I view therapy as a partnership, where we work together to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My role is to guide and support you, while respecting your unique insights and goals.

Empowering

By focusing on your inherent strengths and fostering self-awareness, I aim to help you cultivate the tools, confidence, and sense of agency to navigate life authentically.

Creative

Creativity is at the heart of my approach to therapy. Art-making can access feelings and insights that words alone may not capture (even if you don’t consider yourself an “artist”). Together, we’ll use creative processes to help you navigate challenges, discover new perspectives, and connect with yourself in a new way.

Existential

I often explore themes like meaning, identity, and life transitions, helping clients navigate the complexities of being human while finding their own sense of purpose and direction.

Systemic & Contextual

I approach therapy with an understanding that systems—familial, cultural, and social structures—impact personal experiences. By considering the broader context of your experiences, we can better understand the influences shaping your journey and identify pathways for meaningful change.

Anti-Oppressive

I recognize my identity as a cisgendered settler of European descent, and approach therapy with a commitment to anti-oppressive practice, acknowledging the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization, systemic inequality, and privilege. I strive to create a space that is queer-friendly, inclusive, and actively anti-colonial, while remaining open to feedback and growth as I continue to learn and unlearn.
