You may be here because you know that what’s weighing on you isn’t only about mood or anxiety, but living in a world that feels fractured and increasingly hostile. This isn’t an abstract unease. The weight of injustice and cruelty presses into daily life, shaping how we move, choose, and try to care for ourselves and each other. When the social, political, and values-based frameworks you once relied on no longer feel steady, it can be hard to separate the world’s weight from what presses on you here and now, or what might help in the moment. Not because nothing is happening, but because the strain comes from many directions.

Therapy in this context isn’t about reducing your experience to a set of symptoms or strategies. It’s a space to think, feel, and make meaning while living inside conditions that are genuinely unsettling, and to find ways of staying human, connected, and oriented within them.

I’m a therapist with 20 years of experience, including 15 in private practice. I work collaboratively, listening with curiosity and supporting self-awareness, self-acceptance, and growth. I bring a broad capacity for helping people navigate the challenges that matter most in their lives. If you'd like to learn more, feel free to reach out by email.

I work with people who've often had to adapt to systems that weren't built for them, including therapy. I aim to offer a space that's collaborative, non-pathologizing, and responsive to who you are. My role is to bring curiosity and strategy, while respecting that you are the expert on your own experience. You don't need to be "fixed" to be supported.

Lila is an exceptional supervisor! She brings warmth, understanding and so much knowledge with her. Her expertise in supporting neurodivergent folks and ability to ask questions that get you thinking have fundamentally shifted how I practice psychotherapy.

Lila helped me to self-discover my own professional identity by encouraging curiosity, offering unique perspectives based on her own lived experiences and research interests, and cultivating a supervisory environment that feels safe and collaborative.

Grace MacAskill

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MSc, BA Hons

Lila is incredibly warm and kind and instantly makes people feel safe. She is very wise but instead of using that knowledge at you, she uses it to gently connect with and guide you to what feels truly genuine for you. I would trust her with any client!

Strength-Based
Trauma Focused

My approach is integrative, grounded in contemporary psychoanalytic therapy. Sessions focus on conversation and connection, with practices drawn in gently from ACT, DBT, I-CBT, mindfulness, and polyvagal theory. My lens is shaped by an understanding of attachment and nervous system regulation, and is rooted in anti-oppressive, feminist, neurodiversity-affirming values.
