I see you.

Life can be overwhelming, therapy can help. But traditional therapy doesn’t work for everyone.

If you’ve found yourself struggling to solve the issues you’ve been facing, maybe it’s time to try something new, such as Art Therapy. EMDR, or Ketamine-Assisted Therapy. Alternatives to talk therapy can help people calm their nervous system, heal from the effects of trauma, alleviate symptoms of chronic illness, reduce anxiety triggers, and live more meaningful lives.

Imagine a safe space to heal.

Jess is a member of the +++LGBTQIA2S+++ community. They are gender-affirming & sex-positive. They are allied with people who hold marginalized identities, including sexual identity: those in the kink community and those who practice consensual non-monogamy (CNM).

They are body-positive, which extends far beyond health at every size (HAES) and into stigmatized shapes, disability, disfiguration, and body differences. They aspire to be antiracist and anti-oppression by employing a Liberation Psychology framework, which means they actively engage in dismantling systems of oppression, including in the therapeutic arena. The Feminist approach means more egalitarian relationshipping than you may be accustomed to in therapy.
