My work is primarily grounded in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting rather than traditional talk therapy.

That said, we can absolutely spend time talking, exploring what's coming up, answering questions, providing psychoeducation, building coping strategies, or simply focusing on what you need most that day.

My priority is ensuring you receive the level of care that best supports your well-being. Please note that my practice is intended for non-emergency, ongoing support.

I am unable to provide services for individuals experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms (such as psychosis, paranoia, active mania), or those requiring intensive case management.

If you are experiencing an emergency, please visit your nearest hospital or contact your local crisis response team.

The areas and communities listed on my website reflect some of the populations I have a particular passion working with, but they are not a complete list of who I support.

If you’re unsure whether your concerns are a good fit, you’re welcome to reach out and we can explore it together.

Absolutely! My goal is to help you do your own individual work, so you can show up more fully in your life and your relationships.

Yes!

My practice is primarily focused on nervous system regulation, trauma processing, and integration. While I am not a specialized relationship therapist or expert, I am comfortable working with individuals in different relationship structures outside of cis/het mononormativity.

I have engaged in reading and learning to ensure I am informed and affirming. Outside of my regular quirks, I strive to create a space that is non-judgmental, affirming, and not awkward.

I work from a neurodiversity paradigm, which means neurodivergence is understood as natural variation in how nervous systems function.

I also center your own understanding of your neurotype. I also recognize I won’t always get things right. If something I say or do doesn’t land well, I welcome you to tell me so we can slow down, clarify, or adjust together.

In sessions, you’re welcome to stim, move around, change positions, or lie down if that helps you feel more grounded.

Eye contact is not required, including not needing to look at the camera.

You’re also welcome to use sensory supports such as fidgets, weighted items, food, water, headphones, or anything else that helps your nervous system feel safe, regulated, and supported during sessions.

Direct communication is welcome here. You don’t need to soften how you speak in order to be accepted.

I also invite you to let me know how you prefer to be spoken to, or what helps communication feel easiest for you (for example, pacing, level of directness, or other preferences).

I adapt EMDR and Brainspotting to fit each neurodivergent client, including pacing, structure, and sensory load.

The first session is a chance for me to get to know you better and understand how I can best support you.

We may review your intake form together, and I’ll ask questions to better understand what brings you to therapy, including your current challenges, symptoms, history, and the patterns that feel most important.

We’ll also talk about your goals and what you’re hoping will change through therapy. I may gently guide the conversation to make sure we cover key areas, while still moving at a pace that feels comfortable and natural for you.

We may begin identifying early themes that could inform treatment planning across different therapeutic approaches.

If helpful, I may also offer initial grounding or coping strategies.

No. Please share only what you feel comfortable with. We work in a way that respects your capacity, your boundaries, and your readiness at any given time.

The frequency of sessions depends on your goals, the concerns you're working through, and what feels manageable for you.

For EMDR or Brainspotting, I generally recommend starting with weekly or bi-weekly (every two weeks) sessions. Meeting regularly at the beginning helps build momentum.

As you begin to feel more stable and make progress, sessions can often be spaced further apart. Some clients transition to every 3–4 weeks or book sessions on an as-needed basis.

We'll regularly check in about what's working and adjust the frequency together, so your therapy fits your needs, goals, capacity, and schedule.

The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs and goals. We’ll work together to pace the work safely, focusing on integration and lasting nervous system change rather than speed.

Before beginning trauma processing, the focus is on stabilization. This includes building internal scaffolding, strengthening internal resources, and expanding your window of capacity so that trauma processing can happen safely, effectively, and in a way that supports lasting integration.

For some people, this phase is relatively brief. For others, particularly those with longer or more complex trauma histories, it may take more time.

During this stage, I may incorporate gentle micro-processing, parts work, Flash and/or EMDR-based resourcing strategies to continue building your foundation.

My approach is neuro-affirming and trauma-informed, which means we work together to find a pace that actually fits your nervous system (not a one-size-fits-all model).

We work collaboratively. If something doesn’t feel right, we can slow down, shift direction, or pause at any time.

If you’ve had a difficult experience with trauma work in the past, that doesn’t mean it can’t be approached differently.

We’d take time to understand what didn’t work and build a different foundation together.

• Please ensure you have your laptop or desktop computer are set up at a comfortable height. Phones are unfortunately too small.

• If you would like to use Brainspotting music in your sessions, please bring a pair of headphones to connect to your device.

• Have Brainspotting music cued up on either Spotify or Soundcloud if you want to use for session.

• Please bring something comfortable you can use to cover one eye (ex. eye patch, sleeping mask, toques, scarf).

• If you would like, you can bring grounding items to support yourself during the process. Some examples include a weighted blanket, stuffed animals, aromatherapy, food and drink, sunglasses etc.

IFS can vary significantly in how it is delivered. Differences in training, adherence to the model, and how therapists integrate it with other approaches can all shape the experience.

Because of this, people may have very different outcomes with IFS depending on how it was practiced in their previous therapy.
