What's My Approach to Therapy?
I am a registered psychologist and the founder of Constellation Mental Health Services. I typically work with adults navigating trauma, neurodivergence, identity, and complex life transitions. My work is grounded in nervous system regulation, collaboration, and respect for the meaning people make of their lived experience.
I have a particular interest in working with individuals who feel “stuckâ€â€”whether due to trauma, chronic stress, pain, burnout, or longstanding patterns that no longer feel aligned. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, sensitive, and perceptive, yet find themselves overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.
My approach is integrative and trauma-informed. I draw from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), narrative and meaning-focused therapies, somatic and body-based approaches, and mindfulness-informed practices. I place strong emphasis on collaboration, pacing, and psychological safety, recognizing that meaningful change unfolds best when people feel genuinely seen, respected, and understood.
In addition to therapy, I offer psychological assessment and diagnostic clarification, particularly for complex presentations involving trauma, neurodevelopmental differences, and overlapping mental health concerns. I view assessment as a therapeutic process in itself that can offer clarity, validation, and a more compassionate understanding of self.
Above all, I strive to offer a space that is grounded, curious, and human, where clients can explore their inner world, reconnect with their values, and move toward lives that feel more regulated, meaningful, and whole.
My Practice & Services
Constellation Mental Health Services is guided by a deep respect for people’s inner worlds, life stories, and capacity for growth. I work with a collaborative team of clinicians who value curiosity, compassion, and whole-person care. Together, we offer individual therapy, psychological assessments, and specialized services for trauma, neurodivergence, chronic stress, and complex life transitions.
We believe therapy should feel like a supportive partnership — not a clinical checkbox. We take care in matching clients with the right therapist, offer lower-cost options when possible, and create space for work that is thoughtful, paced, and tailored to each person.
In addition to individual therapy, we may offer group programs, workshops, or other community-based offerings focused on healing, learning, and connection.
Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed
Choosing therapy is an act of strength, not a sign of flaw. It takes courage to admit when something feels heavy, confusing, or overwhelming and even more courage to do something about it.
Therapy isn?t about ?fixing? what?s wrong with you. It?s about understanding what you?ve been through, how it?s shaped you, and how you want to move forward. It?s for people who want to grow, heal, and live with more clarity, connection, and ease... not because they?re broken, but because they?re human.
