The couples that I work with initially describe themselves as feeling "stuck." This might be patterns of behaviours or relationships, feeling weighed down or overwhelmed by trauma, self-doubt, or disconnection from their emotions and body. Sometimes it is navigating the complexities of relationship challenges or neurodivergence. Most of the time what they truly want is to feel lighter, calmer, safer and more in control of their lives. Therapy offers a space to explore these needs and to move toward the life they imagine for themselves.

I offer neuro-affirming, trauma-informed therapy as well as adult ADHD/autism assessments.
If you’re an adult who is going through a difficult time, or who’s spent years pushing through—masking, overthinking, and feeling “too much” or not enough—you’re not alone. People reach out for many reasons: anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, burnout, or simply wanting to understand themselves better. Due to lived experience, I also have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals and those impacted by complex trauma (CPTSD). Whatever brings you here, you may be looking for clarity, steadier emotions, and support that actually fits you.

ADHD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.

How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.

How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
