be softer with you.

you are a breathing thing.

a memory to someone.

a home to a life.

- Nayirrah Waheed

My psychotherapy practice largely centers on helping people strengthen their relationship with themselves and others. Together, we can help you identify and overcome patterns that no longer serve you. I have a thorough understanding of polyamory and ethical non-monogamy (ENM). I have a holistic approach, incorporating both somatic work (mind-body awareness) and talk therapy. I approach therapy from a place of collaboration and non-judgment. I practice with a trauma-informed, kink-positive, anti-oppressive lens.

Some of the specific topics that often come up in-session are:

  • Communication skills/assertiveness

  • Boundary setting

  • Self-compassion

  • Attachment styles

  • Nervous system regulation (navigating fight/fight/freeze responses)

  • Co-dependency

  • Perfectionism

  • How to navigate insecurity and jealousy

Psychotherapy

I also offer Psychotherapy supervision for Occupational Therapists who are wanting to become Psychotherapists under the Occupational Therapy College.
