You don’t know when things changed, when life became harder, but you know that things aren’t working. Maybe you aren’t sleeping well. Maybe it is exhausting to complete work, assignments, or sometimes even starting your day. Maybe you feel disconnected from your family and friends. You do know that you need things to change but aren’t sure where to start.

In addition to holding space for the specific processes related to identity, I support clients experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other mental health concerns, navigating relationships and social situations, "coming out," and coping with other life challenges. I use a flexible approach that can involve individual, family, youth, or caregiver sessions to best suit the needs of each client. I aim to meet clients wherever they are at in their journeys, and support the direction they would like to move towards.

Life is full of painful and confusing experiences. These situations can make you question yourself, your choices, and be frightening. At times every one of us questions our thoughts. Even wonder if those thoughts are “normal”. There are beautiful and ugly aspects of being human. We all like to present our best version of ourselves to the world, but stress and anxiety happens when there are thoughts and feelings inside that don’t match the person we show on the outside. Accepting new clients! Flexible hours including evening and weekend availability.

You’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed and it causes you to overthink, "doom scroll", or lash out at others. The mere thought of work; seeing that person, or having that conversation seems too unbearable. When you get up the courage to do the ‘thing’, it feels like it never works out, leaving you feeling misunderstood, discouraged and stuck. You’re often told that you are “too much”. Over time, you’ve come to believe it, resent it and blame yourself. You spend so much time trying to be a version of yourself that is acceptable to others that at the end of the day you’re exhausted. And now you realize that it's time to make a change.

Education and Learning Disabilities Counsellors
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
