As a counsellor, life coach and ADHD specialist, I draw on extensive experience to customize treatment that address each client’s mental, emotional, spiritual, relational and social needs.

I found that the majority of people need life skills training, whether it’s dealing with stress, anger or looking to improve their relationships.
