Through talk therapy, Ileah helps clients explore the roots of emotional distress and develop practical tools for emotional regulation, communication, and self-understanding. Her style is compassionate and encouraging, inviting clients to reflect deeply while staying grounded in the present. Therapy sessions are co-created and responsive, offering both structure and space for what emerges.

Nature-based Therapy

For those drawn to the outdoors, Ileah offers nature-based therapy sessions in Vancouver and North Vancouver. This approach uses the natural world as a grounding and restorative container for reflection, helping reduce the intensity of self-exploration and supporting nervous system regulation. Movement and sensory engagement with the environment can deepen therapeutic conversations and foster a felt sense of connection. Nature-based therapy is especially helpful for clients experiencing stress, burnout, grief, anxiety, or disconnection. For our first meeting we’d meet in the office so we decide on a natural setting that is accessible and aligned with your goals.

Trauma Therapy

When supporting individuals with trauma histories or complex mental health concerns, Ileah draws on creative, somatic, and relational approaches to gently engage the body and mind. She understands the impacts of fragmentation, dissociation, and chronic dysregulation and works to foster safety, coherence, and emotional integration. Her trauma work is deeply attuned to the nervous system and structured to support empowerment without re-traumatization.

Art Therapy

For clients interested in creative approaches, art therapy offers a powerful way to process experiences that may be difficult to articulate in words. Ileah specializes in art therapy for adults and uses image-making, metaphor, and symbol to support emotional expression, nervous system regulation, and deeper insight. No artistic skill is required. This modality is especially effective for trauma recovery, identity exploration, and times of transition or stuckness.
