Get to Know our Alternative Lifestyle Affirming Therapists

Welcome! Here is some information about my practice that might help to inform your decision,

Who I work with:

While my professional expertise and lived experience pertain to alternative communities associated with non-monogamy/polyamory, kink/BDSM, LGBTQIA+, and sex work, I also work with those addressing issues related to the following:

Trauma, CPTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, neurodivergence, codependency, attachment, growth/fixed mindset, gender & sexual identity, divorce/separation, relational challenges (affair resolution, sexual difficulties, life trajectory changes, etc).

My approach:

I know firsthand how challenging it can be to find a therapist who feels like the right fit. Here is a bit of information about me, to help inform your decision.

• My therapeutic style is client centered and fluid due to my firm belief that therapy is not a one size fits all process.

• I use an integrative, holistic approach that combines different evidence-based modalities. I tend to pull from psychoanalysis, attachment theory, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness.

• I am oftentimes referred to as a "tough love therapist" by my clients due to my direct, yet nurturing approach.

• While boundaries are crucial in maintaining a healthy relationship between clinician and client, I do not ascribe to traditional power dynamics associated with clinical psychotherapy. While I am knowledgeable in areas associated with psychotherapy and the communities I serve, you are the expert of your own experience, and I believe you have just as much, if not more, to contribute.

• I oftentimes offer “homework” to encourage accountability and self-reflection outside of our therapy time.

Hi, I'm Ty! I am a queer, non-binary/ transmasculine individual of Caribbean descent. Through personal experience, as well as supporting some amazing humans over the years, I understand that our lives can be layered and complex. Though this may create challenges, we have the opportunity to explore ourselves and our nuances with curiosity, grace and understanding.

I am of the belief that through the intentional pursuit of self understanding, community connection and joyful experience, we have the power to shape our lives so that we may experience true alignment. My work integrates a blended theoretical approach that is strengths based, trauma-informed and QTBIPOC-affirming. No matter one's identity or experience, we will co-create an environment where you feel safe, seen, heard, and held. I strive to give individualized care to both adolescents and adults along a journey that brings us all closer to healing.
