You've always sensed that you move through the world a little differently - and maybe that's only become clearer with time. You might be and adult exploring autism, ADHD, or PDA for the first time, or someone who's long known about your neurodiversity and still navigating the spaces and systems that weren't built for your brain. You are not alone, and you don't need to mask or shrink yourself here.
We know this work is personal because it's personal for us, too.
We are a collective of social workers and counsellors with lived, loved, and professional experience with neurodiversity.

The irony is that the things that make us feel most alone actually connect us. At our very core, we crave connection over what we as humans all have in common...life, and with that, the harsh realities and all the joy, grief, fear, confusion, love, chaos, etc. In our therapeutic relationship, I want to provide you with the freedom to be exactly who you are. I want to understand who that is, the people you care about, and what you want out of your time here - both in my office and in your life. Together we can work through inevitable blindspots and life's continuous challenges, to increase your connection to others and to yourself.

I am passionate about helping males navigate the complexities around sex, gender, sexuality and relationships, including diverse expressions of queerness or non-monogamy.

Do you have the sense that there is underlying pain that is preventing you from fully enjoying your life? Often, our unhelpful patterns originally evolved as strategies to meet needs, and to protect ourselves against overwhelming distress. My work aims to help you more effectively meet the needs behind these old, perhaps outdated strategies. Some of the issues that clients come to me for help with are: personal growth and alignment with life purpose; emotional regulation; emotional intimacy; anxiety and panic attacks; self-worth; and grief and loss (personal and collective).

If you are struggling with a particular issue, feeling lost in a relationship; intimate or professional, worrying and lacking the motivation to put ideas/thoughts into action, or just generally feeling stuck, I'm glad you are here. Life is complex and doesn't come with clear and definitive guidelines. No wonder we can feel overwhelmed! Sometimes it can just feel like it too much to manage alone. Working in a therapeutic relationship where you are the focus can help you find ways to learn, grow, and heal.

Many of the people I work with are navigating a shift in identity - whether that’s due to an injury, a life transition, burnout, or a growing sense that something important has changed. I specialise in supporting clients who have defined themselves through athleticism, movement, caregiving, a relationship, or achievement and are now asking: Who am I without this? What now? These questions can feel disorienting, but they also mark the beginning of something meaningful. I offer a non-judgemental space to explore the questions that may be arising, and moving through the grief that accompanies change.

Perhaps something wounding in your history has fractured your wholeness and you feel overwhelmed and less connected to your core. There may be a part of you that feels conflicted, and challenges in life may feel like too much. Maybe the ever-evolving, and unique-expression of life that you are, is not feeling supported in its development. Having self-governance and allowing the unique-expression of life emerge through us is a birthright of humanity. You can be connected with your core, essence and inner guidance system that leads the way to your healing.

I understand that it is stressful when your child is struggling, and you might not know where to turn. I have a strong background in working with children who find it difficult to communicate, express their emotions, and connect with others. I will work in a way that is fun for your child and will give them opportunities to improve their skills in communicating, connecting and problem solving. Children will want to work with me because it will be fun, and they are working out their issues through play and art making. I work with children by incorporating their interests and by understanding the developmental level of the children.

Divine Alchemy (formerly Bliss Mental Health). I believe that all human beings have a remarkable ability to grow and change. Some clients come to me with a great deal of depression or hopelessness about their lives without the insight as to how they can be helped. I use a strengths-based approach as I listen to their stories to find the hope, possibilities, and resiliencies that coexist alongside suffering and insecurities. Evidenced-based and trauma informed; approached from a spiritual and cultural lens and can assist with residential school generational impact.

In my work with my clients I create a space that is nonjudgmental, caring, compassionate, honest, and ethical.
I work to meet clients where they are at, at the pace of their nervous system, and it's capacity to grow and integrate new information.
I help my clients grow and connect with their own inner healer. It is said, “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.”
I work to understand each person's history, background, heart, goals, and visions for their life and then provide guidance to move in that direction in an empowered way.
