serving: individual adults age +18
I work with adults (18+) who are facing life transitions, in the many definitions of the term: through identity, family/chosen family structures, friendships, and death, to name a few. I’m trained in psycho-spiritual therapy, which really just means that I aim to connect lived experiences with body, mind, and spirit, as it is relevant for you. My work centers around strengths-based, trauma-informed, and anti-oppression frameworks. I use a blend of interventions individualized for each client, but I tend to lean heavily on elements of Internal Family Systems, mindfulness & experiential techniques, and relational therapies. Being in a body can be complicated, and it’s my intention to work with clients to co-create a relationship that makes it feel safe enough to explore all facets of their identity.
Some of the ‘intersections’ that I work from include: autistic, queer, disabled, european and acadian ancestry, polyam, kink and BDSM, body autonomy, and sex work positive.
