What's most important is that YOU feel comfortable with the person you connect with in a counselling or coaching relationship, so we are happy to speak with you to see if it feels like a good fit.
People with ADHD are bright, empathetic, and creative. We often struggle with harnessing our uniquely wired brains to fit into a world built for neurotypicals. We know we are capable of so much more, but we're functioning well under that capacity. Examples of the issues we experience include time management, organization, remembering things and motivating ourselves to do things. Other forms of mental illness may accompany our ADHD. However, with some support, we can improve our systems for functioning in ways that are actually fun. We can also improve our intimate relationships, which makes life better all-round.

I believe that together we can find the solutions that you need to get your life back on track.
Are anxiety and self esteem issues preventing you from enjoying your life? Anxiety can leave you feeling tense and irritable, as well as disrupt your sleep. People often also have bodily sensations like shaking, a pounding heart, headaches, or stomach aches when they have a lot of anxiety and worry. You might also think a lot about what others think of you, and worry that you don't measure up. These feelings can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and isolated. You want to relax, feel more confident, and enjoy your life, but something keeps getting in the way, and old patterns keep repeating.

Many of the problems we experience in life can be traced back to parts of ourself that are wounded or not properly integrated. I help you to reflect and make sense of your experience, and to work through areas of your life that bring discomfort. In moving through these discomforts/stuck areas in a new way, you release these wounds, become free from their grasp & move into more aligned, embodied & authentic living. We cannot fully integrate (become whole in our life) unless we heal & integrate all parts - including shadow work, healing parental and childhood wounds, ego work, sacred sexuality, reprogramming belief systems etc.
