Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I am a sex-positive therapist. I work with clients of all genders and relationships of all constellations. I utilize techniques from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Attachment-Focused Therapy. I look forward to working with you!

Therapy is a process. It is a living and breathing evolution in understanding. And self-discovery is both the journey and the destination.

Curiosity about yourself, and the desire to understand the way your world works, is the jumping-off point. What is your primary way of knowing what you know? What are your defenses and where do they come from? What is your range of emotions and how do they serve you? What drives you, and what holds you back?

Heightening our own awareness of our intentions, our triggers, assumptions we make, and patterns we repeat, gives us a keener sense of our strengths, limitations, and purpose. Change is a constant in the universe-at-large and in our personal sets of circumstances. In asking (and answering) these questions of ourselves, we develop our own unique set of tools to adapt, cope, heal and thrive. (What we are conscious of, we control. What we are unconscious of controls us. - Anonymous)

My areas of special focus include sex workers, alternative sexuality and gender, polyamorous lifestyles, body image, and personal and family relationships. The space we will create together will be one of non-judgment and unconditional understanding. And you will set the direction, pace and boundaries of our conversation.

So, whenever you are ready, come on in. Have a seat. I am looking forward to knowing you.

I practice with a commitment to the dignity of all people. Your personal history is as important as the historical contexts that inform the systems we live in. I carefully calibrate the pace at which we move, and I always prioritize your choice and autonomy in the process of therapy. (Trauma-Informed and Feminist orientation) To support the discovery of new angles, I might ask you to re-imagine your experiences with a new lens. (Narrative Therapy) I believe the past is ripe for insight and I believe in nurturing all of our selves, past present, and future. (Psychodynamic Theory) Life is hard to do alone. I’m on the side of self-love AND I believe our communities and relationships offer a unique opportunity to grow and know ourselves. Every relationship – including the one you and I might start together – is a new lab for healing and exploration, and every relationship holds answers to the mysteries in our selves. (Relational/Attachment Theory)

I work well with clients who want to understand why they’re doing what they do. Whether “single” or “partnered” (all relationships matter, not just the romantic ones), I support all my clients in bridging the gaps between themselves and the people in their lives. I support clients with a wide variety of social identities, relationship formations, and concerns – including: anxiety & depression, symptoms of trauma, identity struggles, existential dilemmas, non-monogamy, and grief. I work with adults – individuals, couples, and friends.

I work from a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed lens to focus on my client’s individual needs and goals. I work with folks of all ages and a variety of concerns, but I primarily work with the LGBTQ+ community and/or those experiencing trauma and dissociative disorders.

As a neurodiverse, fat, kinky, non-binary, trans* and queer Indonesian Filipinx person who has mixed feelings about being called “resilient”, I’ve struggled to fit into society’s expectations of what I should be and instead found myself through what I am not. Through community care and lots of my own personal therapy, I hope to cultivate three major components within myself and my work with others:

Curiosity: Fucking around and finding out

Queer becomes more than an identity label when you realize there’s seriously no singular “right” way to do things. Together, we can get into some good trouble by challenging those “standards” and redefining what feels “right” for you.

Connection: Being with and accepting all that you are, as you are

Not to be confused with apathy, hopelessness or passiveness. Being connected is an active choice to come at those parts of us we hate with compassion and curiosity.

Compassion: Doing hard things in soft ways

As a result of trauma, oftentimes, we’ll raise our shields and create armor to protect us from the pain. While that’s completely understandable, closing ourselves up from the bad stuff will simultaneously block us from receiving any goodness. What we may have done in the past to help us survive may not be serving us as much anymore. Our sessions can be a space for you to set down that armor, just for a little bit, and rest.

Compassionate help for lifes challenges.

Personal and relational counselling is some of the most challenging, and potentially rewarding, work we can do to develop and improve connections with others and ourselves, inside and outside of intimate, familial, social, and professional relationships. I help clients better understand the influence of interconnected thoughts, feelings, stories, values, and expectations on conscious and subconscious behaviors and decision-making patterns. I can also help reconnect them with the strengths and resources available to, and within, themselves in times of crisis.
