Anxiety and self-criticism stuck in a thought loop? Constantly thinking, worrying about how everyone else is going to react? Social anxiety getting in your way? Dread and burnout about your to-dos and chasing balance? Yeah, I hear you! That’s tiring after a while! Hey folks, I’m Trina. My specialization is in treating anxiety, social anxiety, burnout, and PTSD/trauma. People I work with are often healing overachieving tendencies, relationship trauma, self-critical thought spirals, and worries about what “should” be. Let’s create a supportive inner dialogue, so that you’re your own biggest cheerleader with a quieter, gentler mind.
Instead of trying to think your way out of it, we will take a different approach. My approach is a blend of ACT, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness based approaches. My goal is to help you create a different relationship with feelings that weigh you down . I aim to have you leave each session with a tangible, actionable takeaway.
Starting something new can sometimes feel like a lot when day-to-day already feels like a lot! It all starts with this tiny step. Come and say hello, there’s zero pressure. I’m here to make the whole process feel a little lighter for you. My (virtual) door is always open. Human to human, I’m glad you’re here.

Many of the people I work with are high-achieving and competent, yet find themselves struggling with anxiety, self-criticism, or the sense that they should be doing better than they feel. My focus is on helping you develop a better relationship with your own thoughts and feelings, one that supports you engaging with your life.

I often use a mix of Acceptant and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on helping you develop a more flexible and supportive relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions, rather than trying to fight against them. CBT helps to create a supportive inner dialogue, so that you're your own biggest cheerleader with a quieter, gentler mind.
