ADHD Therapists in Orillia, ON

I provide therapy support for women, teens, and preteens struggling with a variety of mental health issues. Many of my clients may come in for anxiety or depression symptoms but have underlying attachment based patterns and an inner attachment with themselves that is broken and hurting. I work with other presenting issues such as grief and loss, self-harm, eating disorders, ADHD and interpersonal issues. I also works with clients who are living with post-concussion struggles. I can provide faith-based counselling if requested. ​​​​​

Clients I work really well with are interested in collaborating and brainstorming about the challenging situations and difficulties in their lives. Overtime, we work together to develop understanding and solutions. I particularly enjoy working with individuals who suffer from ADHD or are impacted by someone who has ADHD. Of course clients with ADHD also often have co-morbid conditions like anxiety, depression and PTSD; I am very happy to help them with the issues related to these problems as well. Also, I enjoy completing complex psychological assessments; I find them challenging in a very good way.

Therapy is a place where you can come as you are. I like to think of therapy as a conversation. Think about that for a second. You have conversations daily with friends, and family members. Therapy is just an extension of that conversation. You can vent with friends, and with family, but a conversation with a therapist allows you to become unstuck from the cycle you may be in where you are venting, but not actually making any progress. Therapy really is for everyone. Whether you have long standing concerns, are in a crisis, or need to work through a problem right now, we are here to help.

Relationships can bring us immense joy as well as incredible pain. Sometimes the way we have been doing things isn't working and it's hard to know where to go next. I work with clients who are experiencing tough transitions, parenthood and family planning, exploring gender, sexuality, or dealing with the pain that comes with anxiety, grief, and loss. I seek to support clients to connect with their authentic voice, and to try new things- to discover what might possible in relationship with others, and with themselves.

Has anyone said that you're your own worst enemy? Maybe you want to stop being so hard on yourself, but don't know how.

Childhood is often thought of as a magical time. The reality is that many kids face problems that leave them feeling worried, scared, angry, sad or confused. This can be difficult and heart breaking for parents trying their best to connect with and support their child. Very often, despite a caregiver’s best effort to learn more and help solve the problem, a child’s response is “I don’t know”. Play therapy can help provide children with the tools they need to express their thoughts and explore their inner world.

Does life feel like a never-ending uphill battle? Do you grapple with feeling like things will never change, or find it tough just getting through each day? The issues that are affecting your life can manifest in various ways – anxiety, mood disorders, depression, relationship issues, grief, or feelings of low self-worth. This can be exhausting. I've encountered many individuals who've felt stuck, overwhelmed, or simply in need of understanding and guidance. From adults, children, teenager, couples, to families, every story is unique, and every challenge deserves its own tailored approach.
