Why they became a therapist.

"I was about 7 years old when I fell down and bruised my knee. I remember sitting at the doctors table, really scared of the pain, almost about to cry. That’s when the doctor looked up and asked me to count backwards from 20. As I closed my eyes and finished counting, the doctor informed me that I was all set and could leave. This incident later became a pivotal moment in my life. I became fascinated with the human brain and our bodies and how it …"

What they'd like a client's first session to be like.

"I hope that the client feels safe, seen, and understood. I would like my clients to be comfortable to be their authentic self and find value in our interaction. Additionally, I would also like them to understand a little bit about my process and way of working, and some important aspects about therapy itself. "

How they make their practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx.

"My language is inclusive every step of the way, where I make space for the clients personal pronouns, and also state mine. I am constantly educating myself in understanding queer and trans folkx's concerns. I am mindful of my own privilege in the world and in the therapeutic room, and strive to create a safe, non-judgemental, and compassionate space for the individual to be seen and heard for who they are. "

Areas of concern they address in counselling.

"I work with a wide range of issues like complex trauma, anxiety, grief, stress and life transition, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and body image issues. "
