I mainly use a Narrative Therapy modality with clients. This modality states that the client is the expert in their own life. As such, I am not the 'know all' expert. Instead, I work collaboratively with my clients to find the right solutions for them. I do however have a vast disposal of knowledge, tools, exercises and techniques to help people overcome their problems. Therapy is not a one size fits all situation. Some things will work for some people, and not for others. That is why it is so important for me to work with the client and not just give out advice or solutions to my clients.

I believe that everyone deserves a non-judgmental therapist. I always strive to treat people with respect and be inclusive. I proudly support the LGBTQ+, Consensual non-monogamy, and Kink communities. I feel that people want to be heard and be validated. I strive to help people learn to communicate better, to develop their boundaries, and to learn to express their own wants, needs, and desires. I feel that the only real way to find resolution to our problems is to talk about them with others. I embrace humanity and feel that humans are neither good nor evil. People are capable of both wondrous things and horrific mistakes, but neither of those define who the person actually is. I strongly believe that a person does not need to feel ashamed because of one aspect of who they are, something they have done, or the choices that they have made in the past.
