Are you different? So am I. I specialize in working with people who break the mold. This includes neuro-diverse adults (ADHD, Autistic, C-PTSD), chronically ill, 2SLGBTQ, and racialized people. Focusing on resiliency and emotional intelligence, I use evidence-based practices and creative interventions to use the wounds of the past as seeds for growth. Adverse childhood experiences, trauma, and relationship fractures disrupt our feelings of safety and trust. In order to thrive, we need to heal.

I am an ADHD Coach in private practice. I coach those in early adulthood who are having difficulty with schooling, transitions, addictions, relationships and sometimes all of these. The bulk of my practice involves helping family members cope with one another's characteristics. These are strategic. I help with understanding the limitations of the condition(s), cooperating, compromising and planning.

Accepting New Clients! Are you neurodivergent, or suspect that you might be neurodivergent? Have you felt unseen and feel like you have to mask in order to be accepted? Want a therapist that understands how hard it is to unmask, accept yourself, and build a sustainable life because she's neurodivergent too?

My fundamental orientation to counselling is existential. At its heart, this approach doesn't distinguish between cognitions (thinking) and affect (feeling) and the somatic (body). Instead, it (and I) attempt to make contact with the whole of one's being. After all, we don't refer to ourselves as "human brains" or "human bodies" but as human beings. This is why talk therapy participates in healing the body, but it also explains why attention to the body can help heal what we generally call mental illness. And in the midst of it all, feelings are the endlessly rich source of information that help connect thinking to the body.

These brains of ours don't come with instruction manuals - figuring out how to navigate life is tough enough, but can sometimes seem impossible when we experience mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with people with BPD (attachment trauma), anxiety and OCD, couples, and folks who have complex difficulties and may have received multiple diagnoses. Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.

Welcome to my practice. I believe that every person has the capacity for change. Counselling helps us unearth our internal compass, also called our inner intelligence, intuition, or higher self, so that we can relearn how to trust ourselves again. This is important work. Together, I will help you develop your capacity to respond to life's circumstances and manage the discomfort that you are experiencing. Our pain, anxiety, sadness, love, and joy all have important information for us. They can reveal what is required of us to heal, grow, and even thrive.

I work with individuals newly diagnosed with ADHD, helping them gain a deeper understanding of themselves. While ADHD can be challenging, I believe the core issue often lies in the lack of clear, accessible information designed to empower individuals to engage with the world effectively. This missing piece can hinder their ability to connect the dots for a more fulfilling and aligned life. If you are new to having ADHD, you might feel anxious about what this diagnosis means or sad about not receiving this information sooner. Life can be overwhelming without the right skills, strategies, and support. Common concerns I address

You're stuck in cycles of thinking, feeling or behaving that weigh you down and isolate you from those you love. You've been wondering if things can improve in your career, your family, or your community. I'm convinced (based on extensive evidence) it's possible to change how we experience life. We all have the freedom and ability to ask new questions, think new thoughts, feel new emotions, challenge our beliefs, and heal from trauma. As a clinical counsellor I can help you identify and achieve your goals through an approach that is relational, emotion-focused, authentic, creative, and collaborative.
