Attachment-Focused Therapy helps you understand how early relationships shape the way you connect, trust, and feel today. If you’ve experienced loss, trauma, or emotional disconnection, this approach gently guides you toward healing by building a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship. With your therapist, you will explore patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, and create space for deeper, more fulfilling connections.
What is it?
Attachment-Focused Therapy is a relational and trauma-informed approach that explores how your earliest relationships influence your current sense of self, security, and connection with others.
How does it work?
Therapy works by using the therapeutic relationship itself as a safe, new model for a secure attachment. With your therapist, you will gently explore past experiences, identify your unique attachment patterns, and learn to understand how they show up in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors today. The process is collaborative and focuses on helping you feel safe enough to be vulnerable.
Who might it suit?
This therapy is for individuals who have experienced trauma, loss, or emotional disconnection in early life. It's particularly helpful for those who struggle with forming secure, trusting relationships, have difficulty with intimacy, or find themselves repeating unhelpful patterns in their connections with others.
What can it support?
Many people find attachment-focused therapy helps them notice old patterns as they happen, respond to themselves with more compassion, and build steadier, more trusting connections over time.

When you engage in EMDR consultation, you are not just ticking off a supervision box; you are entering a space dedicated to deepening your clinical skills and personal growth. This is where you move beyond the technical steps of the protocol and into the art and nuance of trauma therapy. We focus on depth over dogma. You will learn to integrate the core principles of EMDR with a whole nervous system-informed approach. We'll work to dismantle mind-body dualism and stay grounded in what is happening in the room. These sessions are for clinicians who want to evolve beyond technical proficiency and engage in authentic, meaningful dialogue about their craft.

Ask us how her consultation hours count toward EMDRIA certification.
What is it?
EMDR consultation is a specialized form of supervision for therapists using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It provides a dedicated space for clinicians to move beyond the technical aspects of the EMDR protocol to explore the art and nuance of trauma therapy.
How does it work?
In consultation sessions, we move beyond reviewing protocols to engage in a deeper dialogue about your clinical work. We will discuss stuck points in your process, explore the dynamics in the therapy room, and learn how to integrate core EMDR principles with a whole-nervous system informed lens. The focus is on moving beyond rigid rules to understand what truly matters in healing.
Who might it suit?
This service is for EMDR-trained clinicians who want to deepen their skills and integrate a nervous system-informed approach into their practice.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, research-supported therapy for trauma and distressing life experiences. Alongside talking, it uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or tapping, while you focus on a memory. Many people find that over time, memories feel less charged and easier to hold.
What is it?
A structured, research-supported psychotherapy that uses bilateral stimulation to help process distressing memories.
How does it work?
During an EMDR session, you will be guided to focus on a specific distressing memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as following your therapist's hand movements with your eyes. This process is believed to help your brain’s natural healing mechanism to reprocess the memory, allowing you to access it without the original emotional charge. While the memory may not go away, the triggering associated with it may be reduced.
Who might it suit?
EMDR is well-suited for individuals who have experienced trauma, including PTSD, or who struggle with persistent anxiety, phobias, or grief. If you feel "stuck" in a past event or find that memories continue to impact your daily life, EMDR may be a beneficial option.
What can it support?
Many clients find distressing memories feel less intense over time and that past events have less pull on the present. Everyone's experience is different, and EMDR begins with preparation so you have grounding tools before any memory work.

We emphasize depth over dogma—centering nervous system-informed practice, dismantling mind-body dualism, and staying grounded in what truly matters in therapy.

What is it?
Group and dyadic supervision are collaborative, relational spaces for therapists to deepen their skills and grow their professional identity alongside peers. They offer a dynamic alternative to one-on-one supervision.

The focus is on moving beyond rigid theory and staying grounded in what truly matters in therapy.

Inner child work gently explores the parts of you shaped by early experiences, especially those that may have been painful, neglected or misunderstood. It can help you understand how childhood patterns show up in adult life and meet them with more compassion.
What is it?
Inner child therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on healing and nurturing the parts of you that were formed during childhood. It helps you explore how early experiences, both positive and negative, continue to influence your adult feelings and behaviors.
How does it work?
In sessions, you'll work with your therapist to compassionately identify and reconnect with your "inner child." This process may involve techniques such as journaling, guided visualization, or creative exercises to explore old feelings. The goal is to acknowledge past experiences and give your younger self the care and validation it may have lacked.
Who might it suit?
This therapy is for anyone who feels that past emotional wounds, unmet needs, or limiting beliefs from childhood are impacting their present life.

Parts work helps you see your inner world as made up of different parts, some of which may pull in different directions. With your therapist, you get to know these parts with curiosity, especially the ones that feel critical or self-sabotaging, and find new ways for them to work together.
What is it?
Parts work therapy is an approach that helps you recognize that your mind is made up of different sub-personalities or "parts," each with its own role, feelings, and beliefs. The goal is to understand and work with these parts rather than seeing them as a single, unified self.
How does it work?
You and your therapist explore your different parts, what each one is trying to do for you, and how they relate. Over time, this builds a kinder, more trusting relationship with yourself.
Who might it suit?
This therapy is for anyone who experiences inner conflict, self-sabotaging behaviors, or a harsh "inner critic." It is particularly helpful if you feel fragmented or have parts of yourself that are in conflict, such as a part that wants to be productive and another that wants to procrastinate.

Many people find parts work eases inner conflict and softens a harsh inner critic, so they can relate to all parts of themselves with more compassion.

Support for when high standards turn into self-criticism, fear of failure or never feeling good enough. Using cognitive-behavioural and compassion-focused approaches, you explore where perfectionism comes from and build more flexible, kinder standards.
What is it?
Perfectionism therapy is a supportive, therapeutic space to explore where high standards tip into self-criticism, fear of failure, or an inability to feel "good enough." It draws on cognitive-behavioural and compassion-focused approaches to help you understand the roots of perfectionism and build a healthier relationship with achievement, rest, and self-worth.
How does it work?
In sessions, you and your therapist will explore where your perfectionism comes from and how it shows up in your daily life, using cognitive-behavioural tools to identify and gently challenge the thought patterns that keep the cycle going. This is paired with a compassion-focused lens, helping you build a kinder internal voice alongside more flexible, sustainable standards for yourself.
Who might it suit?
This service is for anyone who feels that their standards for themselves have become a source of stress rather than motivation. It's particularly helpful if you notice fear of failure, difficulty finishing or starting tasks unless conditions feel "just right," harsh self-criticism, or a persistent sense that your efforts are never quite enough — whether that shows up at work, in relationships, or in how you talk to yourself.
What can it support?
This work can help you loosen perfectionism's grip on your day-to-day life. Many clients find it supports a reduction in self-critical thinking, more ease around starting and finishing tasks, and a steadier sense of self-worth that isn't tied to constant achievement.

What is it?

Who might it suit?
This therapy is for anyone who struggles with chronic stress, anxiety, or panic, or for those who often feel "on high alert" or shut down. It's particularly helpful for individuals who feel disconnected from their bodies or find it difficult to form healthy, safe relationships.

Therapy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. A sliding scale is a fee structure that adjusts the cost of therapy based on your income and ability to pay. This approach is rooted in the belief that mental health support is a fundamental right. It's a way for us to offer services to those who may not have insurance coverage or the financial resources for our standard fee. By working together, we can find a rate that fits your budget, allowing you to prioritize your well-being without adding financial strain. Each of our practitioners holds a limited amount of sliding scale therapy spaces. Reach out today to discuss arranging sliding scale arrangements and determine who has current sliding scale availability today.
What is it?
Sliding scale therapy is a flexible fee structure that adjusts the cost of therapy based on a client’s income and ability to pay. It is designed to make mental health support more financially accessible.
How does it work?
The process involves a discussion with the therapist to determine a fee that fits your budget. This is typically based on your income and an agreed-upon scale. Because each therapist has a limited number of sliding scale spaces, availability is determined on a case-by-case basis.
Who might it suit?
This service is for anyone who desires therapy but may face financial barriers, such as a lack of insurance coverage or the inability to afford standard fees. It is an option for individuals who want to prioritize their mental health without adding significant financial strain.
What can it support?

Somatic-informed therapy is a body-aware approach that brings attention to the connection between mind and body. Stress and past experiences often show up as physical sensations like tension, a racing heart or fatigue, and this work gently includes those sensations in therapy.
What is it?
A body-aware approach grounded in the idea that stress and difficult experiences can show up in the body, not only in our thoughts. The aim is to build awareness and a greater sense of calm and steadiness.
How does it work?
Alongside talking, you and your therapist gently notice physical sensations, breath and movement, and practise ways to settle. There is no touch in psychotherapy sessions.
Who might it suit?
This therapy is for individuals experiencing the physical symptoms of mental and emotional distress. It is particularly helpful for those who have a history of trauma, chronic stress, or anxiety and feel "stuck" in a state of high alert, or struggle with unexplained physical symptoms like muscle tension and fatigue.
What can it support?
Many people find somatic-informed work helps them feel more grounded and present, and better able to settle when stress builds. Experiences vary.
