Jade works with adolescents and adults, with a focus on complex trauma and attachment-related distress. With extensive experience in complex mental health, Jade’s therapeutic practice draws from DBT, family systems therapy, polyvagal theory, and expressive modalities. Jade commonly works with adolescents and adults experiencing: - Complex trauma – including developmental trauma, relational trauma, and the lasting impacts of abuse, neglect, or childhood wounds. Attachment-related distress – patterns of relating that feel confusing, painful, or overwhelming. This might show up as fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, push-pull dynamics in relationships, or a persistent feeling of not belonging. - Grief and loss - Relationship challenges - conflict with family, partners, or friends; difficulty setting boundaries; feeling misunderstood or disconnected; or repeating unhelpful patterns in how you relate to others.

Makaela works integratively across both creative and talk-based therapy. She primarily works with children and young people aged 8 through their 20s. While creative and expressive modalities are central to her practice, sessions are always guided by the individual needs, preferences, and readiness of each client. Makaela meets clients where they are and adjusts the pace and depth of work to support safety and regulation. Makaela is experienced in supporting young people navigating emotional regulation difficulties, self-harm, significant life transitions, and childhood trauma. She is particularly well-suited to clients who have struggled with traditional talk therapy, while also supporting those who prefer a more conversational therapeutic style. Above all, Makaela values authenticity, safety, creativity, trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming practice, and supporting clients to feel seen, supported, and understood.
