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 “stuck”—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.
