I specialize in working with neurodivergent children, teens, and adults and their families with a focus on the autism spectrum and ADHD, as well as those experiencing complex mental health challenges including anxiety disorders, depression, suicide ideation and self harm. I firmly believes in collaborating closely with parents, caregivers, and other professionals involved in a person's life. By working as a team, I ensure a holistic and comprehensive approach to treatment that maximizes progress. I create a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals feel heard, understood, and supported.
I integrate evidence-based modalities to ensure the best outcomes for my clients, drawing on gender-affirming and trauma-informed CBT, DBT and EFT. Using these modalities, I collaborate with my clients and their families to modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, as well as work on improving emotional regulation, self-esteem, and social functioning.
I have a deep understanding of the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals. I adopt a strengths-based approach to therapy with the firm belief that every individual possesses inherent strengths and abilities that can be harnessed to overcome obstacles and achieve personal growth. The goal is to empower clients to thrive and lead fulfilling lives.
