Welcome. I’m a queer, non-binary, white settler with roots in russia and germany. I’m a registered social worker with the ontario college of social workers and social service workers and a member of the ontario association of social workers. I obtained my MSW from the university of toronto and hold a BA in art history, sexual diversity studies, and fine arts. I offer both individual and relationship therapy.
“Trauma doesn’t happen in
isolation, and neither does
healing. We need each other to heal.”
I support people who have experienced complex developmental and relational trauma, are navigating
non-monogamy, are exploring gender identity, and navigating gender transitions. I believe kink is
sacred and sex workers are magic.
As we work together, I will draw eclectically from a range of psychotherapeutic approaches including psychodynamic, internal family systems, somatic, experiential, expressive arts, dialectic, narrative, cognitive, and behavioural. I invite movement, music, and drawing into the space, to help us connect safely with our bodies and the present, if we go into the past.
I centre empathy, attunement, collaboration, emotional safety, reverence, autonomy, and connection. I
am committed to trauma-informed practices, anti-oppressive values, and radical, transformative justice
politics.
