I am a queer, non-binary social worker who is trauma-informed. I have lived experience as a neurodiverse person, spoonie, and a trauma survivor. I am trained in emotion-focused therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, DBT, CBT, EMDR, and Unyte-iLs’s SSP and Focus (that is based upon Polyvagal theory), and uses various tools from many other modalities as well. I prioritize working with the following communities: Indigenous, Two-Spirit, LGBTQIAP+/Queer community, trans community, and non-monogamous/polyamorous community. It is important for me that before working with someone, they feel it is a perfect fit or as close to a perfect fit as possible. Previous to ever recommending a treatment to someone, I will often experience this modality myself first to get an idea of what the experience can look or feel like.

I am a queer, neurodivergent, polyamorous, feminist, and cisgender white woman. I am committed to anti-oppression, social justice, and the self-reflection and lifelong unlearning this requires.
I have been practicing social work since 2012 with a focus on issues related to queer and trans folks, body neutrality, harm reduction, and body-based trauma recovery modalities. While I use an eclectic range of intervention, I am formally trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
I aim to position myself as a co-collaborator in your journey and will follow your lead. Using a feminist power-sharing framework, I believe that the therapeutic alliance and a genuine, authentic caring and attuned relationship is the foundational element of successful therapy, and so I will work hard to earn your trust and build that alliance with you.
I am most excited about working with queer and trans folks, neurodiverse folks, non-monogamous folks, and those looking to utilize EMDR for trauma recovery.
