With a wealth of experience across various therapeutic settings, Dakota has provided support to a diverse clientele facing a wide array of challenges, including depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, PTSD, panic disorder, relationship and family issues, stress, and workplace conflict.
She has a particular aptitude for connecting with people from all stages of life, relishing the richness that this diversity brings to her practice. Moreover, Dakota possesses specialised experience in diagnosing and offering tailored treatments to individuals with ADHD, allowing them to manage and excel beyond their condition. Dakota can similarly diagnosis and assess Personality Disorders as well as complete Intelligence/Cognitive Assessments.
Dakota's practice is distinguished by her integrative use of therapeutic techniques, ensuring that treatment is as individualised as the clients themselves.
She employs an array of methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-based strategies, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Skills, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. This eclectic approach underlines her commitment to providing flexible and adaptive psychological care, uniquely suited to each client’s path to wellness.

In every aspect of her work, Dakota creates a space of empathy and partnership, guiding her clients toward achieving a balanced and fulfilling life.
