Autism
Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I support autistic individuals through a trauma-informed, relational approach that honors neurodiversity and centers safety, curiosity, and respect. Rather than pathologizing difference, I work to understand how past experiences—including misattunement, sensory overwhelm, or relational trauma—may shape patterns of protection, shutdown, or self-expression. Together, we explore your inner world at your own pace, making space for emotional depth, self-understanding, and connection on your terms. My approach invites the integration of parts that may have felt unseen or misunderstood, fostering a greater sense of wholeness, autonomy, and belonging.
