mental health support tailored to your needs

nonjudgmental mental healthcare
Unfortunately seeking out mental health support is stigmatized when the reality is everyone has a right to seek support to navigate the challenging aspects of their lives. It is imperative that clients access nonjudgmental mental healthcare that honors their autonomy and experience.

Therapeutic Values
Consent
Therapy should be a collaborative process where the client’s right to choose is honored. Consent informs my therapy practice in check ins for fit, progress, and client considerations. It is important for me to go with the readiness of the client.
Multicultural responsiveness
Every individual comes from their own unique cultural and experiential contexts. Therapy’s aim should be to hold the client in their wholeness, complexity, and nuance. Therapy is not about assuming there is a universal way of life, but rather meeting the client in the contexts they belong.
LGBTQIA+ affirming
This therapeutic practice is intentionally LGBTQIA+ affirming. LGBTQIA+ individuals have existed throughout all of history and unfortunately in the present day LGBTQIA+ individuals face systemic inequities, discrimination, and stigma. This therapeutic practice aims to not make assumptions about identity, experience, and perspective and intends on supporting the whole individual.
Sex positivity
Sexual shame can be a heavy burden that gets in the way of accepting ourselves wholly. This therapeutic practice holds a nonpathologizing view on sexuality and is a BDSM/kink, consensual non monogamy, and sex work aware practice.
