You can begin by booking an initial session through the website. The first appointment focuses on understanding your concerns, reviewing consent, and determining next steps.

I support adults experiencing trauma-related distress, anxiety, mood concerns, grief and loss, emotional dysregulation, relational stress, caregiver strain, and challenges related to life transitions or neurodivergence.

My work is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), polyvagal-informed interventions, mindfulness-based strategies, and somatic regulation tools. Interventions are selected collaboratively and paced carefully.

When appropriate and with your consent, mindfulness or body-based practices may be introduced as optional tools for regulation and awareness. These are offered in a clinical, secular manner and are not used if they may be destabilizing or contraindicated.

Trauma-informed care prioritizes safety, choice, collaboration, and pacing. We focus on stabilization, respect boundaries, monitor for overwhelm, and move at a pace that feels manageable for you.

I can administer, review, and discuss mental health assessments for clinical and psychoeducational purposes. However, I do not provide formal psychiatric or psychological diagnoses. Formal diagnosis based on assessment results is reserved for licensed psychiatrists and psychologists.

No. While conversation is central, sessions may also include experiential, somatic, or skills-based interventions such as grounding exercises, nervous system regulation strategies, and parts-based work. All interventions are explained in advance and adjusted based on your comfort and feedback.

Therapy is reviewed and adjusted as circumstances evolve. Any changes in focus, goals, or approach are discussed collaboratively.
