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.

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.

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.

Many of my clients are in their 20s to 40s, navigating pressure from work, relationships, parenting, and expectations—while quietly feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to cope. You may find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck in the same patterns.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
