ADHD Therapists in Lake Country, BC

I am a Registered Social Worker, Registered Clinical Counsellor, and Grief Recovery Specialist, passionate about helping individuals navigate their grief journey as well as supporting individuals who are neurodivergent. I work with people who have a suspected, recent, or late diagnosis of Autism/ADHD; have a partner/a child who is Autistic/ADHD; are grieving for various reasons (e.g., life change, chronic pain, loss of a loved one); and/or want to become more comfortable with their uncomfortable emotions.

If you're someone who has ever felt like you're being taken for granted, or that your voice isn't being heard, then you're in the right place. My ideal counselling client is someone who wants to feel good about themselves and their place in the world, especially if they are dealing with ADHD. Whether you're struggling with time management, focus, or organization, I can help you find the tools and strategies you need to navigate your challenges and thrive.

As a neurodivergent mom with two kiddos, I understand the many challenges of navigating a neurotypical world. People with ADHD, Autism, and/or Learning Disabilities can struggle with balancing the demands of work, school, relationships, parenting, our own wellbeing, or even just everyday tasks. Our nervous systems often become used to chronic states of overwhelm, which can lead us to engage in old patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that keep us feeling stuck. My goal as a therapist is to empower you to understand how your neurodivergent brain works so that you can access your truest potential.

Learning new coping skills and effective methods to handle life's difficulties is the basis of how I work with clients combining Acceptance & Commitment Therapy & Expressive Art. My focus is to activate the deep wisdom and resourcefulness that you already possess inside of you. When faced with challenging relationship issues, family conflict or personal hurdles, you will begin to move forward with greater psychological flexibility and less discomfort. You will discover your values & goals, identify how to halt unhelpful thoughts, and gain greater confidence in your ability to be the person you want to be.

I have an eclectic approach to counselling. My approach is highly successful as I tailor the approach, techniques, and therapeutic environment to meet your individual needs. However, I draw primarily from Family Systems Theory, Attachment Theory and neuroscience and use EMDR, talk, play and art based interventions. I work with children, youth, families couples and individual adults. I help to support challenges with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, loss and addictions.

I combine multiple approaches into my sessions including, CBT, DBT, and the Gottman method for relationship issues and couples therapy. With my integrative and flexible approach I offer a meaningful and non judgmental space so that you can gain a deeper knowledge of yourself and your partner.

If you feel a lot of tension and dysregulation in your home, it might be helpful to get some outside help. I work with youth and families to help facilitate healthy and respectful communication. It is my belief that everyone deserves to feel heard and validated. I also work directly with children, parents, and individuals who are struggling with stress, anxiety, and depression. I offer lower fees so everyone can get the help they deserve.

Choosing a counsellor can be a challenging and a courageous move for many. I will provide a space where you can feel safe and empowered to make intentional choices about your personal goals. We are all faced with personal challenges, oftentimes limiting our ability to experience life fully. I believe you are more than just your symptoms and with guided inquiry and self-reflection you can discover how your own resources and strengths create momentum for greater connection with yourself and others. With renewed presence and clarity you can begin to make meaning of your life shifting to a place of new perspective and opportunity.

Are you feeling "stuck" or "trapped" in a cycle that you are unsure how to get out of? I help clients to navigate painful and difficult feelings, thoughts, and experiences.

My practice centers on empathy, trust, and listening. I work with children, youth, adults, and families to improve their quality of life and meet their mental health goals.

I offer evening and weekend availability. My trauma-focused practice incorporates a diverse range of modalities such as EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Parts Work, Art-Based Approaches, & Equine Assisted Therapy. The dual perspective of my practice as a Trauma-Focused Therapist & my personal journey of healing from trauma has equipped me with a deep understanding of the bravery, dedication, & strength that accompanies the trauma healing journey.

I believe that each of us (from children, preteens, teenagers, young adults, adults, parents, and up) has within us the ability to learn to deal with life’s stressors and manage the way we deal with the trials and tribulations that life brings our way. As a mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and co-worker, I bring to my practice a blend of lived mental health/life experience, education and a holistic approach while maintaining the philosophy that we’re all capable humans and don’t have to go through difficult times alone.

I have always enjoyed connecting with and learning from others; this has driven my passion for mental health support for many years. Before completing my Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work, I worked with my local rural fire department as a paid-on-call firefighter for nearly 8 years. I was consistently humbled throughout my experiences by the resilience and camaraderie engrained in first responder culture. I believe in the importance of having clinicians who 'get what we do', ultimately leading me to combine two of my passions (firefighting & mental health) and become one.

Navigating emotional struggles can be challenging, regardless of age or background. Whether you're a child grappling with big feelings, a teenager facing the complexities of adolescence, or an adult dealing with past traumas, the desire for healing and growth is universal. Everyone seeks inner peace, acceptance, and a sense of belonging. My aim is to guide my clients, no matter their age, towards a place of inner peace, belonging, and profound healing, liberating them from the burdens of shame, guilt, and loneliness.
