I work extensively with Families, Teens, Youth, and Neurodivergent individuals. Many are facing Estrangement, Parental Alienation, Family Conflict, or the Effects of Narcissistic Abuse. I also treat issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and a range of Addictive Behaviors, including acting out, self-harm, gaming or internet overuse, eating challenges, and a variety of other addictive behaviors, which often accompany high-conflict family dynamics and estrangement.
I understand the pain and complexity of these situations. We help clients process trauma, rebuild relationships, and regain confidence and well-being.

Depression can feel like moving through waist deep water while everyone else is on dry land. Things that used to matter somehow don’t anymore, and you’re exhausted just trying to keep up. Anxiety is a feeling of worry about what's going to happen in the next moment, this week, or long into the future - and you’re tired of bracing for impact every day. During life transitions, the old version of your life is gone, but the new one hasn't shown up yet. Whatever your current challenge is, even though there are people around you who care, a part of you feels alone in your problems.

Education and Learning Disabilities Counsellors
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
