I’m a psychotherapist and I believe therapy is, at its heart, a human experience. It is a space where you can slow down, be heard and make sense of what you have been carrying without having to present yourself in a particular way or have everything figured out before you begin. I work from a trauma-informed and queer-affirmative perspective. I believe that your experiences cannot be separated from the life you have lived, the relationships you have been part of, your identity and the world around you. Your story matters and I want to understand it on your terms. I like to take the time to sit with what is underneath the surface, to understand your experiences with care and to make space for the parts of your life that may be difficult to put into words. We don’t have to rush toward solutions. Sometimes, being able to pause, notice and be understood is an important part of the work itself. I see therapy as something we do *together*. You are the expert on your own life and I bring my experience and understanding of therapy into the room alongside you. We will work collaboratively, with respect for your autonomy, your choices, your boundaries and your pace. You can come as you are. You don’t need to make yourself easier to understand, more positive or more put together. There is room for uncertainty, anger, sadness, confusion, joy, contradiction and everything in between. My intention is to offer a space where you are met with dignity, curiosity and compassion. A space where your experiences are taken seriously, your identity is respected and you have the freedom to explore yourself without judgement. Together, we can make room for greater understanding, choice and a way of living that feels more like your own.
