Accepting NEW Clients - I work with individuals who feel stuck or are struggling with life transitions (career change, relationship challenges, divorce, loss & grief); and isolation, loneliness, procrastination, anxiety, depression, reactivity, imposter syndrome, self-confidence, etc. If you struggle with self-sabotaging behaviours like people-pleasing, hyper-vigilance or perfectionism, we might be a good fit to work together. My ideal client is someone who seeks personal growth, self-awareness and emotional well-being. If you feel like you're not living your life as fully as you could be, reach out and let's talk about it.

ADD/ADHD, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and many types of addictive behaviours are the focus of my practice. Being diagnosed with ADHD at 5 years of age, I am uniquely able to help others living with ADD. I use my lived experience, research and years of experience with clients to help you identify the strategies you need to find the freedom, functionality and joy you are looking for in your life. I know what works best, because I have seen it first-hand. It is important to use strategies that actually work for ADD people when working on any other issues that we may have.

Many of my clients come to me because they want the flexibility of going backwards (with therapy) and forwards (with coaching).
Online appointments available. My clients are introverts and highly sensitive souls that feel overwhelmed because the world is too fast, too noisy, too chaotic but worst of all filled with people lacking compassion. They usually struggle with non-reciprocal relationships and setting boundaries. They may have experienced narcissistic abuse or childhood trauma/neglect (I have professional/personal exp. with both). They are filled with feelings of anxiety/worry about the fact that they can't keep up with everyone else. If you are reading this, I commend you on taking this first step. I am a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ family.

My goal as a counsellor is to help clients see themselves clearly and to understand that all of the answers they seek are already within them. I approach counselling from a holistic perspective with a focus on radical acceptance of a whole person and the stories and life experiences they bring with them. Through creating a safe, welcoming environment for individuals to “be”, I focus on establishing a solid foundation for connection to build and healing to begin.
