Practice Information
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: In sessions with me, I will be open and curious with you in exploring the different parts of your internal world, and in growing understanding and appreciation for them and how they developed to protect you. I believe that all people have parts and a Self that when accessed, offers internal wisdom, guidance, and resources. Rather than helping you build strategies and skills, I will help you access what you already have, guided by the belief that people already have internal resources for healing.
Many of the clients I work with are formally diagnosed or self-identified Autistic and/or ADHD, and many are members of 2SLGBTQIA communities. I have a particular interest in the intersection of neurodivergence and trauma. I also enjoy working with youth to support and navigate big emotions, communication, boundary setting and self-advocacy, neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, giftedness, learning disabilities), sexual and gender identity, coping with big life transitions, and navigating relationships.
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.
