Authenticity is a core value in my therapeutic approach. I believe in being open, genuine, and authentic in our sessions. I bring a candid and sometimes humorous perspective to the therapeutic relationship. Therapy doesn't always have to be overly serious, so I encourage you to show up as your authentic self, embracing both the light-hearted and the challenging aspects of your experience. I emphasize the importance of creating a space where you can be accepted, regardless of what you bring. Whether it's a unique fetish, relationship challenges, past traumas, or feelings of resentment, I believe in making room for all of it.

I approach therapy openly to explore new perspectives, innovative techniques, and out-of-the-box solutions. I believe in the power of creativity to ignite personal growth, facilitate self-expression, and unlock untapped potential. Being a creative therapist involves thinking beyond traditional methods and adapting my approach to meet your unique needs. I incorporate various creative modalities such as art, writing, and visualization to enhance the therapeutic process. These creative avenues offer alternative ways to express emotions, explore underlying beliefs, and gain insight into your experiences. We may also engage in storytelling, metaphorical exploration, or role-playing exercises to uncover deeper meanings and foster self-discovery. By tapping into your innate creativity, we can access hidden strengths, discover new perspectives, and cultivate personal transformation. Through this collaborative and imaginative process, we can tap into your inner resources, expand your self-awareness, and empower you to navigate life's challenges with renewed vitality and resilience.

I view therapy as a collaborative partnership. Exploring, understanding, and addressing a client's unique challenges is an interactive and dynamic process. Thus, being collaborative means that your voice and experiences are central to the therapeutic journey. Together, we establish goals and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your needs, values, and aspirations.

You are the expert in your own life, and your input is essential in shaping the direction of therapy and ensuring that it remains relevant and effective. As a collaborative therapist, I draw on my professional expertise, knowledge, and skills to facilitate self-discovery, provide tools and resources, and empower you to make informed decisions to take ownership of your growth and healing. By embracing collaboration, we can work towards achieving your goals, promoting personal insight, and fostering lasting positive change.

I am committed to upholding the value of being anti-oppressive. This means I recognize and actively challenge the systemic injustices and inequalities that impact individuals and communities. I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where everyone's experiences and identities are respected and valued.

Being anti-oppressive also means acknowledging the diverse social, cultural, and historical factors shaping each person’s experiences. It involves actively listening, learning, and unlearning biases to ensure that therapy is collaborative and empowering. I aim to understand and address how power, privilege, and discrimination intersect with my clients' lives.

As a therapist, I highly regard the value of being trauma-informed. This means that I am deeply aware of the impacts of trauma on individuals' lives and prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment for healing. Being trauma-informed involves recognizing that trauma can have far-reaching effects on a person's physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. It means approaching therapy with sensitivity, empathy, and understanding, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of those who have experienced trauma. I strive to create a space where individuals feel heard, validated, and respected. I prioritize establishing a sense of safety and trust and work collaboratively with my clients to develop coping strategies and resilience. Finally, I am mindful of potential triggers and aim to minimize re-traumatization throughout the therapeutic process.

I continually educate myself to provide evidence-based interventions and techniques that promote healing and recovery. Together, we embark on a healing journey, acknowledging the impact of trauma and working towards reclaiming a sense of empowerment, resilience, and well-being. My commitment as a trauma-informed therapist is to support you in navigating your healing process with compassion and understanding.

I view individuals as whole beings, recognizing the interconnectedness of their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I believe in addressing all aspects of your being to promote balance and harmony. Being a holistic therapist involves considering the various dimensions of your life and experiences. I understand that mental and emotional well-being is influenced by factors such as your physical health, relationships, environment, and personal beliefs. I take a comprehensive approach to therapy, aiming to understand how these different aspects interact and impact your overall well-being. Additionally, I incorporate mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and self-reflection exercises to support your overall wellness. Together, we explore lifestyle choices, nutrition, exercise, and other factors contributing to your holistic health.

As a holistic therapist, I recognize the significance of your unique identity and cultural background. I embrace diversity and inclusivity, acknowledging that individual experiences and social context are vital in shaping your well-being. Therefore, I aim to empower you to make conscious choices that align with your values, enhance your well-being, and support your journey toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I approach sexuality and sexual experiences with an open, non-judgmental, and affirming attitude. I believe sexuality is a natural and integral part of being human, and it deserves to be explored, understood, and celebrated in a safe and supportive environment. Being a sex-positive therapist involves creating a space to freely discuss your sexual concerns, desires, and experiences without shame or stigma. I strive to foster an atmosphere of acceptance, respect, and validation, recognizing that everyone's sexual journey is unique and deserves to be honored. I understand the importance of addressing the diverse aspects of sexuality, including pleasure, desire, consent, boundaries, identity, and communication. I am committed to promoting sexual health and well-being, providing accurate information, and supporting you in making informed decisions about your body and relationships.

I am also sensitive to issues related to gender, sexual orientation, kink, polyamory, and other expressions of consensual sexual practices, and I strive to challenge societal norms, stereotypes, and taboos that may hinder sexual exploration and fulfillment.
