You try so hard but some days it just feels like too much. Family, work, the house, relationships, kids...so much everyday and it all feels so overwhelming and you struggle just to get through the day. Other people make it look so easy and don't understand how these 'simple' things can be so hard for you. No matter how hard you try, something always falls through the cracks. How many times have you said to yourself, "what is wrong with me?" What if I told you that life does not have to feel this hard? That overwhelm does not have to rule your days and have you feeling bad about yourself? That there is nothing wrong with you.
I specialize in working with adults, struggling with mental health or substance use, with a particular interest and training in Adult ADHD. Focusing on who you are, and what your struggles and strengths are, I can help you feel more confident to move forward and create the life you want - with a greater understanding and acceptance of who you truly are.
As a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, I have education and training, however as a person, I have the experience and understanding of living with undiagnosed ADHD for most of my adult life. My practise is virtual, safe, secure and convenient. Reach out today and book a free consultation and start your journey with me.

Together we will explore those things that have brought you to therapy. What is it that is not working for you? I will share my knowledge with you and using a mix of therapy techniques I will help you to understand your life, challenge your beliefs and make powerful changes - challenging you to take back the power to shape your own life. Your life can be different, and you can make it happen.
