Sometimes life feels like trying to fold a fitted sheet where no matter what you do, the corners just won’t match up! And if you’re neurodiverse, it can feel like you’re doing that while balancing on a moving train. I’m Miki, and I work with adults navigating ADHD, autism, and life in queer and trans communities. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, with humor, warmth, and zero judgment. Whether you’re juggling anxiety, feeling stuck, needing to close some mental tabs, struggle to express your emotions, or just need to keep the mental plates spinning, we’ll work together towards your ideal life.

Accepting new clients. I am passionate about supporting women of all ages who are feeling they are not enough, struggle with low self-esteem and self-worth. I have walked in those uncomfortable shoes, and I understand the internal critic who berates and questions every step you take. You feel vulnerable and confused, experience anxiety or depression, and it seems like everyone but yourself are in control. Together we will undo the straps keeping you in those shoes to discover your resilient, empowered, authentic self.

Curious, worn, tender, lost, grieving, hopeful, uncertain, overwhelmed - there is room for all of it here. Just show up as you are. I offer a warm, calm, and gentle space where you can slow down, feel heard, and explore what’s going on for you. Sometimes this involves using words. Sometimes it involves using images, symbols, colours, lines, and shapes. I will always take your lead. My approach is strengths-based, arts-based, trauma-informed, systems-aware, somatic, accessible, and inclusive, grounded in respect, care, and cultural humility.

Stuck. Alone. Overwhelmed. Those are the words my clients often connect with. Perhaps you have tried everything you can think of to change things. Maybe you've tried everything your friends and family can think of too. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, meaninglessness, or something unique to you, I look forward to being with you in the healing process.

Do you ever wonder who you’re expected to be in different spaces, or catch yourself thinking, “Am I too much? Not enough? Doing this all wrong?” Do you ever feel you don’t quite fit anywhere, always shifting, keeping it together, or being the steady one while everything around you keeps changing? Maybe you’re carrying expectations from your family, culture, or relationships that feel heavy, and confusing. If any of this sounds familiar, you don’t need the right words or to over-explain yourself to belong here. This is a place where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together, a space where you can be just be who you are.

You know what you want. You keep doing the opposite. You've done the reading, noticed the pattern, and yet there you are again, pulling away when someone gets close, repeating the argument you swore you wouldn't have, returning to the habit you wanted to leave. That gap between knowing and doing is rarely a discipline problem. It usually means different parts of you want different things. I work with self-aware adults and couples who are tired of insight that doesn't translate. Together we slow things down, look at what these patterns are protecting, and build a different relationship with them.

Many capable, self-aware adults struggle with anxiety that shows up most in relationships — overthinking, people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, or feeling “too much” and yet not enough. I specialize in attachment-focused therapy for those who want to understand why they react the way they do and how to feel more secure. Together we calm the nervous system, untangle old patterns, and build lasting emotional security so you can experience steadier, more connected relationships — including the one you have with yourself.

 Many of the adults (18–65+) I support are navigating different expressions of depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity questions, and complex body/food relationships. Often, they feel stuck and are seeking a way out of unhelpful patterns, so that they can feel more grounded, authentic, and at peace in themselves. My approach is relational and collaborative, bringing curiosity, humour, and trauma sensitivity to each session, helping you explore the roots of old patterns and opportunities beyond them. Therapy with me is a space where you can reconnect with your values, confidence and authentic self.

Whether you're navigating a career crossroads, relationship challenges, or a deeper question of identity and purpose: welcome. My therapeutic work exists to co-create a space where you get to be witnessed in your full humanity, without apology, performance or explanation. I work with emotion directly, learning to fully experience, explore, and express and release old patterns that no longer serve. In this work we'll explore where you feel stuck, the patterns you keep circling in relationships, work, and life, so you can choose from agency instead of fear. The goal: a beautifully aligned and empowered life that truly lights you up.
