•Accepting new clients.• Imagine a path scattered with obstacles—each step forward may feel like a battle against shadows from the past. Whether these shadows stem from childhood trauma, complex trauma, PTSD, or ADHD, the weight can be profound. One seeks not just relief from distressing symptoms, but a profound understanding and resolution of one's emotional wounds. Therapy can be a journey toward self-discovery and resilience, aimed at developing healthier relationships and a more empowered sense of self. Therapy aims to help one move beyond the past, learn to navigate the present and attempt to reclaim the future.

Hello and welcome! I am a neurodivergent therapist who understands the complex task of understanding your own needs. I work from a gentle and curious stance, aware that each person brings with them a unique history, identity and experience that deserves a safe space to unpack and explore. I have a strong interest in the areas of anxiety, neurodiversity (ADHD, autism), attachment and relational trauma, life transitions, stress management, relationship and family challenges, self-esteem, and social justice issues. I understand how challenging and freeing it can be to process your identity, and that it is not always a linear path.

My main goal for clients is an increase in quality of personal and work life through the cultivation and nurturance of self-compassion, authenticity, and self-advocation, while simultaneously enhancing productivity through neurodivergent accommodation. Most of the work I do is with newly diagnosed womxn and non-binary adults who are learning how to get their needs met and are interested in unpacking neurodivergent identity, unmasking to avoid burnout, and meltdown management; however, I am also skilled in the areas detailed below. Sessions are strategically structured to accommodate level 1 autism and ADHD. Neurotypicals welcome.

I have a special interest in serving people from marginalized communities including queer folks, members of the BIPOC community, vegans, as well as neurodivergent clients with ADHD or on the autism spectrum.
As your therapist, my greatest priority is to create an accepting and compassionate space where you can feel safe to be yourself, exactly as you are. My wish is that you leave our sessions feeling heard, valued, and hopeful that change is possible. Together, we can gently unpack your burdens, and explore what is keeping you from living a more comfortable and fulfilling life. Should you be seeking deeper healing, we can integrate holistic, evidence-based trauma treatments (such as EMDR) into our work together in a manner that honours your pace/timing. Through collaboration, we can also find creative ways to build upon your strengths!

With lived experience as a member of the LGBTQ+ community and having ADHD, I can offer the unique perspective and strategies of someone who "gets it".
Therapy isn't just about new realizations - it's about transforming those realizations into deliberate steps you can take to improve things. I am a strong advocate for a two pronged approach to mental health - developing coping strategies to handle times of crisis, and building a strong foundation to reduce the overall amount of crisis moments in your life. I enjoy working with people who have a wide variety of backgrounds and walks of life.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
