As an individual therapist, I work collaboratively with youth and adults to heal trauma, support and explore neurodivergence, mental health, identity, relationships and confidence.
Practice Approach: I work primarily with Autistic and AuDHD (Autistic and ADHD) youth and adult clients, including many parents of high-needs children and youth. My clinical focus includes the intersection of neurodivergence and trauma and how it shapes emotional regulation, relationships, identity, and self-understanding.
I support youth and adults with self-awareness and connection, big emotions, communication skills, boundary setting, self-advocacy, and identity exploration (including parts, neurodivergent identity, aromantic, asexual, and other 2SLGBTQIA+ identities). I support youth clients in communicating with caregivers to strengthen familial relationships and build tools to better support their youth outside of therapy. For parents experiencing caregiver fatigue and burnout while supporting high-needs children/teens, I offer individual therapy to offer you a space to process, feel understood, and connect with yourself in a supportive and validating space.
In sessions with me, you will experience a thoughtfully attuned, gentle, and skillfully guided approach to deepening your self-understanding and accessing your inner wisdom to enhance clarity, confidence, and choice in how you respond to your experiences and engage with life. Using primarily Internal Family Systems therapy (as suits your unique therapy goals and needs) I will guide you in strengthening your relationship with all parts of your self, and support you in strengthening a safe and compassionate relationship with yourself.
About Me: I am a queer, cisgender, neurodivergent white settler woman. For the past ten years I have worked and volunteered in feminist and 2SLBTQIA+ communities and organizations. My method is integrative and trauma-focused, primarily using Internal Family Systems Therapy with elements of sensorimotor psychotherapy; specifically tailored to meet each individual client’s values, needs, and strengths.
I am set up as a service provider with the BC MCFD Autism Funding program and am able to bill the ministry directly for family counselling services that use this funding. Please reach out if you have any questions about this process.
