About…

Hello and thank you for stopping by – I work with clients in life transitions, wanting to explore more creative expression, issues around feeling stuck, self esteem, motivation, depression, relationships (including open/polyamorous), trauma, stress & more. 

If you’re here, you’re probably feeling ready for a change. Using honest, compassionate, creative exploration, together we can come to understand how you got where you are and discover new ways forward to be in the world. I support clients in embracing an awareness of their uniqueness and inner magic and gently finding your authentic truths. 

Change occurs when one becomes what they are, not when they try to be what they are not.
– Fritz Pearls (co-founder of Gestalt Therapy)

I am currently seeing adult clients (18+) individually or in couples/dyads. I also occasionally run groups and have 20 years of experience running workshops in community, schools, institutions and at national and international conferences and events – please inquire if you’re interested in joining my waitlist for an interpersonal or art therapy group or if you’re looking for an art therapy, harm reduction, polyamorous/ENM or consent workshop for your community or event. 

I have worked in a variety of community and art spaces including running large-scale events and nightlife and festival harm reduction and safer spaces for people who use drugs since 2004, supporting clients with pscyhoeducation around: substance use, psychedelic exploration of the self and compulsions. I work from a queer and trans-embracing, neurodivergence affirming, and anti-oppressive framework, and strive to be actively anti-racist and to be aware of systemic privileges I hold.  

I understand the need for self compassion while seeking both peace and passion within. I am looking forward to working with you. Send me an email letting me know what is bringing you to therapy at this time and I’ll get back to you shortly to set up a free ~20 minute consultation call. You don’t have to do this alone!
