Think you have ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, (C-)PTSD, burnout, anxiety, depression, chronic pain or illness, or a combination of these? I’ve been there, I get it, and you’re in the right place now. Together we can manage, improve, or overcome the physical and mental symptoms that come with these conditions. And if you only suspect that some of these terms fit you, we can figure that out together. By working with an integrative approach that focuses on physical health, medical management, thoughts, lifestyle, behaviours, and nervous system, we can get from where you are now to where you want to be.

By allowing you to be involved in the entire therapy process (even in what you might call the behind-the-scenes stuff), I offer a unique approach that focuses on teaching you about your brain, body, and nervous system, as well as about therapy and wellbeing. As you begin to understand what’s happening, you’ll start feeling more in control, safe, and happy.

My Approach to Therapy

I’m passionate about providing integrative, trauma-informed care that works with the whole you, your mind, body, and nervous system. With an approach that focuses on neuroscience, psychoeducation, integrative psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, somatic approaches, and demystifying your brain and nervous system, therapy with me is practical, interesting, and fun.

Here, you’ll learn how your brain and nervous system work, and what to do to work with your body, not against it. Together, we’ll look at your medications, health conditions, thoughts, and lifestyle to find the path to living your best life.

Testimonials
What my clients are saying about therapy

five stars
Whenever I come back from therapy with you, my wife says, “I don’t know what she does to you, but it’s amazing. Every time you come back, you’re different. More confident.” So, you’ve waved your magic wand!

five stars
Willow has been essential in my ongoing search for a greater sense of well being. Her knowledge and ideas have been very helpful, and most of all, she is easy to talk to.

five stars
[Our daughter] loved joining us on our last session. It completely changed her mind on therapy. She said if she can feel that good in just a couple of sentences then a whole session would be amazing.

five stars
There are many wonderful things I could say about Willow, though, what stands out the most is her comforting manner, encouraging guidance, gentle honesty and authenticity. I am happy I have found Willow and I know she will be of great comfort to many
