Are you struggling with a challenging child, feeling like it's affecting both your day-to-day life and your relationship with them? Do you or your child have a neurodivergent diagnosis? Do you often feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, or lost? Are you questioning whether your child is getting the support they need? More than ever, parents are feeling uncertain about their children’s behaviours and how to navigate the daily struggles that come with them. Especially when neurodivergence is involved. I believe recognizing when to seek support is one of the most valuable skills a parent can have.

I enjoy helping couples who are struggling to find closeness in their relationship; typical goals are usually to improve communication and overall connection. I equally enjoy supporting individuals young and old who struggle to manage anxiety, depression, obsessions compulsions, traumas (i.e., military, car accidents), grief and loss, addictions (I.e., sexual). Goals often become finding ways to process past hurts and learn how to manage their emotions in healthier ways. With trauma in particular, I find people need support to get past stuck points that make it hard to differentiate the here and now from the trauma itself.

My favourite client is someone who's ready to take a leap into the unknown, with the courage to try out new ways of surviving—and maybe even thriving—in this wild world. They’re looking for a sidekick who can offer emotional support, throw in some effective coping hacks, and help them untangle their communication messes. They’re also open to some gentle nudging to help them see their situation from a fresh, less 'Why is this happening to me?' angle. They also appreciate humour and real honest connection.

How does therapy for self-harm work?
A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behaviour therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.
Which therapies are best for self-harm?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.
Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?
Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
