My approach to psychotherapy is deeply rooted in feminist and structural analyses that contextualize individual \u201cproblems\u201d in our social environments. I practice from an anti-oppression framework, which acknowledges the complex interplay of (often) multiple social locations that serve to both afford social privilege and experiences of oppression.<\/p>\n
My therapeutic orientation is comprised of an eclectic mix of theoretical models that guide my work, including anti-oppression frameworks, emotion focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic-based practices. While I don\u2019t practice exclusively from one perspective, I believe that our relationship is key to our therapeutic exploration. Without safety and trust, work of this nature isn’t possible.<\/p>\n
My areas of specialty include trauma, addiction, domestic and\/or (childhood) sexual violence, grief, depression, sexuality, and family of origin issues. I am committed to working with members of marginalized groups, including queer, racialized, and differently-abled community members, recognizing that this practice requires my ongoing engagement with my own relationship to the ways in which I am privileged and impacted by sexism, cissexism, heterosexism, racism, colonization, and ableism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
