My Practice as a Therapist

I believe therapy is about connection and collaboration. As a therapist, my aim is to create an open and non-judgmental space where you can safely explore your sexuality and/or relationship concerns, and feel empowered on your journey towards growth. I am passionate about meeting people where they are at, which means drawing on your strengths and uniqueness as a human being to build the life and relationships you want.

 

My Areas of Support:

  • BDSM, Kink & Fetishes

  • Out of Control Sexual Behaviours

  • Painful Sex

  • Sex Work

  • Sexual Trauma

My Approaches in Therapy:

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy

  • Somatic

  • Person-Centered

  • Trauma-Informed

  • Mindfulness

  • Feminist

  • Strengths-Based

  • Attachment-Based

  • Relational

  • Anti-Oppressive

  • Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

My Therapy Style:

  • Gentle & Supportive

  • Direct & Transparent

  • Playful & Lighthearted

 

    • Intensive Sex Therapy Program, University of Guelph

    • Advancing Clinical Education in Sexuality Certificate, Institute for Sexuality Education & Enlightenment

    • Sexual Attitudes Reassessment, Institute for Sexuality Education & Enlightenment

    • Transgender Surgical and Hormone Readiness Assessment, Matsui De Roo

    • EMDR Level I and II, Roxanne Grobbel, LCSW

    • EMDR Basic Training, Eve Wilensky and Alivia Maric

  • My practice is strongly rooted in sex-positive, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, feminist and person-centred values. Pleasure and authenticity are at the core of my work, and I believe all identities, expressions and lifestyles are valid. Together we can unpack the residual shame and stigma that often comes with living in a sex-negative society.

  • My passion for sex therapy is informed by my years of experience providing counselling for folks in the sex work industry, as well as survivors of sexual violence and trauma. Much of my work centres queer and trans folks, BDSM and kink communities, and polyamorous, multi-partnered and non-monagamous relationships.

    • Warm

    • Direct

    • Fun

    • Engaged

  • “Your no makes the way for your yes. Boundaries create the container within which your yes is authentic. Being able to say no makes yes a choice.”

    — Adrienne Maree Brown, Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good

  • Being in nature, cycling, chasing after my kiddo, eating good food with friends.
