My Ideal Client

I work with adult individuals, couples, and broader relationship work. This may mean folks who are struggling with adjustment, managing emotions, or who are concerned for children in their care. I particularly enjoy working with parents/caregivers in unconventional families including queer, trans and polyamorous.

My Approach to Helping

I am glad you are here and I genuinely would like to help you find the right support. I believe we all already have exactly what we need. I find it quite rewarding to team up with clients and find ways to harness their strengths. I am relationship based and balance compassion with frank communication.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Polyamorous and Open Relationships External link

    I understand that finding the right support for unconventional relationships can be challenging. Sometimes the central work is around ethical non-monogamy and sometimes its nice to focus on unrelated challenges with some who "gets it".

  • Parenting External link

    Raising children is the most intense and rewarding experience I have had. No one can do it in a bubble. We all need support sometimes. I find it quite rewarding to offer support for others doing caretaking. It not only supports the adults I'm working with but their children as well.

  • Child or Adolescent Issues External link

    I work with adults to support the well being of their children. In my professional opinion children benefit most of from smaller and more frequent doses of support. I delight in supporting caregivers to offer this to their children.

  • Anxiety External link

    Throughout our lifetimes everyone of us experiences anxiety. Whether this is a new concern for you or something you have been managing for a longer time I am confident that we can work together and lessen theintensity.

  • Depression External link

    Throughout the course of our lifetimes everyone of us experiences depression. Whether this is a new concern for you or something you have been managing for a longer time I am confident that we can work together and lessen the intensity.
