Hey, I’m Brooklyn, and I’m so happy you are here. Whatever brings you to this space, whether it is trouble in relationships, concerns about your sexuality, or everyday feelings of distress, discomfort, or disconnection, know that you've come to the right place.
I believe that relationships, mental health and sex are crucial parts of our well-being and happiness, yet are often the very topics that we get told to keep to ourselves. I am committed to creating a safe and accepting space for you to explore yourself and your relationships (poly-friendly) with openness, honesty, and vulnerability. I hold a special passion for working with individuals or couples who struggle with self-esteem concerns, religious/ sexual trauma, and sexual self-confidence. Other areas I support are anxiety, depression, boundaries, trauma, grief, emotional regulation, navigating sexual desires (Kink and BDSM friendly) and relationship dynamics.
I enjoy working with individuals and couples of all faiths and cultural backgrounds and those who are part of the LGBTQ2S+, BDSM and Ethical Non-monogamy communities. I honour people from all walks of life and communities; acknowledging that each community be it racial, cultural, locational or sexual has its own beliefs, values and traditions related to relationships, individuality and intimacy. Talking about relationships and sex can be difficult, but we will work together to examine and reconstruct parts of your life that are no longer fulfilling you.
My approach to therapy is rooted in relational and attachment-based knowledge; as relationships are how we come to know ourselves, and the world, survive and grow. I practice from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, holistic and sex-positive perspective. This boils down to the idea that together, we will examine the messages you have received with compassion and curiosity to see if they are still serving you.
