How I can help

My work specializes in complex PTSD and neurodivergence based on a combination of professional training and lived experience. I offer individual, relationship, and family counselling for anyone struggling to be understood by others, or feeling like their life is not working out the way it should.

Adults often arrive at a diagnosis of ADHD or autism after years of difficult experiences, and coming to terms with this new way of self-understanding can bring a mixture of emotions. Neurodivergence affects many areas of life, and navigating how each part impacts you can be an overwhelming experience. You deserve a compassionate and supportive place to rest, reflect, and to understand yourself and move towards a life where you are appreciated and supported through:

• managing persistent sense of shame, perfectionism, or self-criticism

• improving maintaining meaningful boundaries and handling rejection sensitivity

• coping with social anxiety and developing new strategies for effective communication

I help people process and find freedom from past trauma, such as child abuse or emotional neglect, and navigate stressful current situations, such as life transitions or relationship conflict. Trauma affects many aspects of a person’s life, including social communication, cognitive function, emotional regulation, and physical health. My work is informed by training in effective and gentle modalities including Internal Family Systems, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Brainspotting, and I can help improve your daily functioning through:

• gain clarity of negative emotions and reduce their intensity

• improving emotional regulation techniques to reduce the intensity of emotional flashbacks and dissociative episodes

• reduce persistent feelings of shame, hopelessness, isolation, low self-worth, and the lack of trust and create new patterns of relating to others
