hey lovely human

I’m ess, and I’m stoked you’re here!

I am…

Self-Intimacy Advocate : as in therapist, peer support, self-exploration facilitator, creator. I love working with folks who yearn to disrupt the status quo.

Queer : as in gender identity, sexuality, politically, spiritually. It’s the lens through which I experience and perceive the world.

Human : as in feeling, creative, imperfect, continuously evolving, dog guardian, moon gazer, butt shaker, potty mouthed, non-traditional, body mind + spirit.

My therapeutic approach…

  • I believe YOU are the expert in you. Period.

  • I’m committed to the process of decolonisation. I continue to educate myself via therapy, supervision, training and deep listening to marginalised voices.

  • I’m trained in Gestalt Therapy, Person-Centred Counselling, Somatic Experiencing, Parts Work, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Focusing, Mentoring, Meditation Facilitation. This means…

    • I have a sh#t tonne of respect for you and your unique personal process

    • We will experience you, not just talk ‘about’ you

    • All feelings are welcome, and in fact we will be actively engaging with and hanging out with them

    • Every interaction will look different, because you are different each day
