I'm glad you're here. Finding the right therapist is an important decision. If anything below resonates, book a free consult to see if we're a fit. Anxiety can feel like bracing for what might go wrong before it even happens. Depression can feel like moving through your days from a distance, doing what needs to be done but nothing quite reaches you the way it used to. Big life transitions can leave you stuck between two versions of your life — the old one gone, the new one not yet formed. Whatever's brought you here, chances are the people around you genuinely care, but still, some part of this feels like yours to carry alone.

I work with school-aged children and their families navigating big emotions, social struggles, or difficult transitions. Whether it's anxiety, school refusal, behavioural challenges, or low self-esteem, these children often feel overwhelmed or misunderstood—and their parents are doing their best to support them, but may be feeling frustrated, concerned, or unsure of what steps to take next. What families want most is for their child to feel happier, more confident, and more equipped to manage life’s challenges—and for home to feel calmer and more connected again.

Hello! To those out there who are either neuro-questioning self-identifying, or have been diagnosed as neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, SPD, PDA, etc..). Sometimes this process can be confusing, surprising or a relief. It can leave people with questions of what to do next.
I support clients to have a deeper understanding of their own executive function difficulties, sensory issues, overwhelm, social struggles, rejection sensitivity, interest-based nervous system, emotion dysregulation, sleep disturbances and nervous system vulnerabilities. We try out new strategies that feel authentic to them.

I help you get to the root of your problems, train your brain to be more resilient, and overwrite unwanted default programming so you can make lasting change. 95% of your thoughts and behaviours are processed in your unconscious mind, which is why, even though you might want something better for yourself, you find yourself stuck. I use evidence-based techniques like hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and neurofeedback to help you access your unconscious mind, and reprogram unwanted thoughts and behaviour patterns for good.

My approach to treatment is client-centered and strengths-based. My relationship with my clients is based on a shared vision for progress in therapy, non-judgment, and mutual respect.

Are you someone who thinks deeply, pushes yourself hard, and appears to function well on the outside, but internally feels overwhelmed, out of place, alone, or exhausted by the pressure to keep it all together? I work with thoughtful, often high-achieving individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, impostor syndrome, uncertainty about the future, and major life transitions. Together, we will work toward more sustainable and personally empowering ways of responding to anxiety, stress, self-doubt, disconnection, and uncertainty, while exploring the emotional, relational, and existential patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Compassionate, Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy:
Do you feel like you’ve spent your life "masking" just to fit into a world that wasn't built for you?
Many of the clients I work with come to me feeling exhausted by self-criticism, burnout, and the heavy weight of "trying harder" without ever feeling like they’ve met the expectations of others (or themselves).
Whether you are navigating a late-in-life diagnosis or struggling with relationships, I provide a safe, inclusive space where we don't try to "fix" your neurodivergence. Instead, we work to understand your unique internal world with curiosity and kindness.

This discovery may help an individual to work on goals, their growth, treatment and healing. This self discovery is simply facilitated by the therapist and lead by the client.

I offer a neuroaffirming, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. My approach is grounded in therapies that are respectful of neurodivergent experiences—you won't find approaches here that aim to suppress or "fix" neurodivergent traits or that have been shown to be harmful, distressing or traumatizing. Rather than focusing on changing your behaviours, I work to understand them. Together, we'll explore what your nervous system is communicating, identify your strengths, build supports that work for you, and look at how your environment may be contributing to the challenges you're experiencing.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by your emotion sometimes? Maybe you find that you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, and avoiding aspects of your life in an attempt to control your emotions. There are times in life where we all struggle to show up in ways that align with who we want to be, and often in these moments avoiding seems easier and the path of least resistance, but it likely comes with a cost. Determining what that cost is to you and those you love, becomes the foundation for our work together.

My clients often feel anxious, on edge, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves and others. Many have lived through trauma, instability, or chronic stress and want support that feels safe, steady, and practical. They want to understand their triggers, regulate their nervous system, and stop repeating patterns that keep them stuck. Their goals are to build emotional stability, strengthen relationships, and feel more like themselves again.

So many people come to me feeling like they’re running on empty but can’t quite explain why. Life looks fine on paper, yet something feels missing. If that resonates, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep figuring it out by yourself.

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.
