Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I trained as a humanistic therapist with a focus on relational work, whereby the relationship built with my client, provides a lens on the relationships in their lives, with themselves and the various parts of themselves. I strive to be completely non-judgemental, fully accepting and completely authentic, thereby offering and modelling to the client a way of being that they may not be used to but do need, especially when they are going through difficult times. I also like to work in a body-focused approach, using changes noticed in the body during a session to connect with emotions and thoughts that are spoken about. I also like to offer breathwork in a a session if I feel like a client could benefit from it.

I have been polyamorous for over 5 years and along with my therapeutic work, have learnt and applied communication skills, ownership of insecurities, how to take responsibility for my own needs and feelings, distinguishing between my feelings and that of others and working with attachment insecurity. The clients that I have worked with have often presented with anxiety, depression, past trauma (including PTSD), relationship problems and transitions, neuro-divergent clients and LGBTQ+ clients.

Over 30 years of professional experience utilizing a critical psychotherapeutic framework, including techniques gained from transformative justice practices and grassroots advocacy has informed the direction of my work.

I provide holistic, strength-based, collaborative, non-diagnostic & sex-positive psychotherapy which focuses on building resilience, empowerment and letting go of shame.

My practice is informed by the work that I do with all that I serve; however, the true success of my practice has been developed through my work serving those impacted by institutional betrayal (trauma) related to criminal justice, mental health, educational, military and foster-care systems.

I work with people in alternative relationship (partnered non-monogamy/polyamory) and those with traditional monogamous relationship issues such as infidelity, mistrust and ineffective communication; providing a safe space for poly relationships/individuals to work on other issues without fear of having their open relationship pathologized.

I have spent my career in LGBTQ Community & Mental Health and AIDS Services in Chicago and Seattle. I have a non-judgmental approach to my clients lifestyle and relationship choices. The question is not good or bad, but rather how their choices work or do not work for their lives.

I am particularly interested in the integration of psychology and spirituality. I welcome consideration of my clients spiritual experience and religious history as part of the work. I am open to many ways of understanding this level of experience and I have no expectation that clients hold any particular faith perspective or, for that matter, any whatsoever.

My approach is not to convince people to do this or that, (to try to be polyamorous or monogamous) but to explore all sides of the issue and help individuals, groups and couples gain clarity for themselves so they can move forward in life with a feeling of calm and self-confidence. - Does online consultation - Does phone consultation
