Psychological Services

Services I offer, who I work with, therapy modalities used

I support clients via in-person sessions at Pullenvale or via telehealth (video). For those wanting face-to-face sessions, I work on acreage with a calming view outside and no other people on the premises other than clients, many of whom never see each other.

​

I work with individuals from 17 years old with a range of complex challenges such as late identification of neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-identity issues, and interpersonal issues. I also assess individuals for Autism and ADHD.

​

I have a special interest in working with neurodivergence, twice exceptional presentations of neurodivergence, and issues stemming from late identification. I also love to work collaboratively with my clients to help them see ingrained patterns of beliefs and behaviour that are preventing them from flourishing in life.
