Her background in neuropsychology has been the foundation of a long-standing clinical interest in non-ordinary states of consciousness and neuroplasticity — particularly their potential to support deep trauma healing, meaningful change, and a more integrated sense of self. 

Aileen draws on Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed frameworks to address the deeper patterns underlying her clients' presentations. Her approach to preparation and integration is holistic — addressing the psychological, somatic, and relational dimensions of the experience to support lasting change that is genuinely lived, not just understood.
