How I can support you
Here’s a closer look at the key areas my work focuses on, alongside other areas I support clients with:
Supporting neurodivergent experiences and people (ADHD, AuDHD, and Autism)
Sexual wellbeing, including sexual anxiety, sexual pain (e.g., vaginismus, vulvodynia), desire and arousal (e.g. relational differences in desire), erectile dysfunction, concerns with orgasm (e.g. premature ejaculation, anorgasmia), impacts of sexual trauma on intimacy, and problematic pornography use.
LGBTQIA+ experiences, gender-affirming care, and identity exploration
Understanding emotional experiences and building practical skills for emotional regulation
I also support people with obsessive compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, navigating the impacts of trauma, relationships and relationship structure diversity (e.g non-monogamy, polyamory), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and mood-related concerns such as anxiety, depression, panic, and stress.
Approach and modalities
I draw from these modalities in an integrative way depending on your individual needs and goals:
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy: focus on emotional regulation, mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance skills.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: focus on making space for difficult emotions and thoughts without letting them control you, and moving toward your values and what truly matters to you.
Schema Therapy: focus on identifying patterns and core beliefs stemming from unmet attachment/emotional needs, so that you can build healthier coping strategies and live a more fulfilling present.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy: focus on empowering you to understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Mindfulness-Based Interventions: focus on being in the here and now.
How to get started
If you feel we could be a good fit, please complete the new client form on the Bookings Page. I'll review your form to make sure I can offer the right support for what you're looking for, and get back to you by email (my email responses to forms may land in your spam folder).
Initial sessions with a psychologist can feel uncomfortable and vulnerable - this is completely normal, especially if you are new to therapy. I keep this in mind, and it’s something I hold intentional space for. This means that I’m guided by whatever you would like to talk about on the day at whatever pace feels best for you. In saying this, initial psychology sessions inherently come with questions regarding your mental, emotional, and physical health to ensure suitability of care.
