Let’s face it: life can sometimes feel like trying to fold a fitted sheet—awkward, frustrating, and no matter what you do, those corners just won’t match up. If you're neurodiverse, navigating this already chaotic world can feel like an extreme sport without protective gear. That’s where I come in. I'm Miki, and I specialize in helping adults with ADHD, ASD, and those within the queer and trans communities. Everyone deserves to have a space where they can be themselves. I'll be your co-pilot, guiding you through the turbulence with a sense of humor and a warm, non-judgmental space where you can unfold into your most authentic self.

Your brain uses real-time feedback data to form and reorganize synaptic connections and bypass the old wiring that caused anxiety, PTSD, or ADHD.
Have you spent your entire life trying to get over your childhood? Do you deal with crippling anxiety, PTSD, crushing depression, severe sleep problems, or struggle with ADHD? My professional area of interest, and my expertise, is in helping people deal with the aftermath of trauma. I offer neurofeedback in-office. Neurofeedback reduces or eliminates symptoms that block your ability to live life to the fullest. Severe trauma--residential school survivors and their families, war veterans, those with histories of childhood abuse--may need two to three 20-session blocks.

A key benefit of sessions is being able to talk in depth about one’s experiences of living with ASD or ADHD as this chance might be rare in one’s life.
My practice focusses on adults who are themselves living with high functioning autism and/or HSP and/or ADHD. The sessions provide opportunities to talk in detail about one’s own unique experiences living with ASD or ADHD with someone who gets you. Engaging guided explorations lead to the revelation of blind spots and the discovery of ways to see things from new perspectives. Collaborative development of tailor-made strategies helps with communication, boundary-setting and the management of daily challenges. Sessions are free from judgement and you are supported to work at your own pace.

If you are a parent with a child diagnosed with ADHD- you can't afford NOT to be registered.
Positive Kids is a provider of holistic ADHD treatment for children and their families. We are the creators of a unique model called "LEPS." Our model tackles the complications associated with ADHD with a very high success rate. The acronym stands for LEARNING, EMOTIONAL, PARENTING, SOCIAL skills. We begin by assessing your child’s ADHD symptoms before we go into a more in-depth discovery of what your child’s individual needs are. Once we have determined the initial requirements, we set up a schedule for you & your child, breaking down each part of the program.

Helping clients with ADHD is my passion.
ADHD support - accepting new clients! Have you ever felt that your experiences are dismissed, leaving you to navigate your challenges alone? Do you find yourself wishing for a space where your feelings are truly acknowledged and validated? Have you encountered situations where it seems like the barriers to your well-being are too great to overcome? I am not the expert in your life – you are! I am here to guide, offer support and maybe teach you some new things you didn’t know before that will help you on your journey. I don’t see clients as “broken” even though you might feel that way initially.

As someone with lived experience of ADHD, I understand the challenges of finding a therapist who adapts to your way of communicating and thinking.
My client focus is working with neurodivergent people with conditions such as ADHD, Autism and Learning Disabilities. Although these differences can be an asset in many situations, individuals may have difficulty navigating a world not necessarily designed for them. Feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, and low self esteem may linger from years of feeling misunderstood or being under-equipped in social, school or work settings. Exploring your strengths, obstacles and goals allow you to take charge of your mental health and work with your difference rather than against it.

Whether you are struggling with ADHD, anxiety or trauma, I am here to help you understand what is happening in your inner world and make deep and lasting changes. When we understand the symptoms as ways we learned to cope with our challenges, the symptoms become helpful communicators of underlying emotional wounds and fears that drive these patterns.

Of particular interest to me is working with neurodivergent folks, especially those who received an autism or ADHD diagnosis later in life.
Hello and welcome. I am a Master's level counsellor (RCC, MA - University of Victoria) who specializes in three main (often overlapping) areas: addictions, neurodivergence and complex trauma. I believe we are all on our own Hero's Journey, and as a therapist, my goal is to help you understand who you are and to help you make sense of what happened to you, so that you can move forward in a more conscious and intentional way. Beyond self-awareness, I believe the purpose of therapy is to transform the negative emotional patterns and beliefs that have been influencing your thoughts, behaviors and relationships.
