I know that coming to therapy is a big step, and it’s important that you find a therapist who is the right fit for you. I take the time to get to know you and help you feel as comfortable as possible; therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard. We work as a team, and together we’ll figure out what you want to get out of therapy and how we can work towards those goals.
My approach is warm and authentic, as well as direct (in a caring and curious way) when needed. My goal is to help you strengthen your relationships and develop/build on coping skills that you can use in your everyday life. I recognise and acknowledge that we may have different experiences and identities in terms of our race, cultural background, religion, gender identity etc. Working with people individually to help improve their lives is important, and I do so while also acknowledging systemic and societal influences. I work from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed and intersectional feminist framework, and am LGBTIAQ+ affirmative and informed. I also work from a strengths based approach, which means we identify and build on your strengths, as well as working on things you find difficult/want to change. I incorporate a range of modalities in therapy, and will work with you to figure out which approach will be the most helpful.
I am a queer, disabled woman and my pronouns are she/her. I have changed my surname to Morgendorffer from Campbell, so you may have heard of me by that name. I love to laugh (including at myself) and have a pretty daggy sense of humour, which I like to bring into the therapy room. When I’m not at work I’m a classic homebody; other than going out for walks, I love reading, sewing, and playing video games (I have a 5 star island on Animal Crossing). I spend a lot of time with my greyhound Janey, who has an impressive collection of colourful coats and is a major source of joy in my life.
