Hi, I'm Ramona. I’m a social worker, trauma counsellor, ADHD/academic coach, & researcher.
I support kids, teens, adults, & families with acute, chronic, & complex trauma/PTSD, plus challenges with identity, relationships, life transitions, & executive function. I have a special interest in helping people with ADHD & neurodivergence (e.g., ASD, NVLD, dyslexia), and/or complex cultural identities, migration stories, & mixed-race or Third Culture (TCK/A) heritage.
Authenticity is everything to me. As a mixed-race, ADHD, TCK, first-gen immigrant, I know what it’s like to move through systems that were never built for your complexity.

Hi, I'm new here (I mean, I'm 40-something, but you know what I meant, right? RIGHT). So: If you thrive on homework and are looking for answers, I'm probably not a good fit! BUT: if you want to explore what it means to live authentically and find meaningful things to do in your journey, that sounds like my jam and we should definitely talk!

You may be feeling weighed down by stories that don’t feel like your own—stories shaped by past experiences, outside expectations, or traumatic experiences. This can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You want to feel more grounded, authentic, and able to create a life that truly reflects who you are.
