Do you, or your son or daughter have neurodivergent qualities that leave you struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a combination of all of the above? Life is full of challenges, and it is important to have the ability to be flexible and resilient with life’s obstacles so they don’t stop or slow us down from meeting our goals. As your neurodivergent counsellor, I understand these stresses and how best to meet them. My objective is to increase your skills and abilities to roll with life’s challenges, increasing your confidence and overall happiness.
I specialize in supporting people with "neurodiverse" challenges - anxiety, ADHD, and autism, by enhancing emotional regulation through combining neurofeedback training with counselling. Neurofeedback trains your brain to regulate itself better. Simply put, when your brain is regulating better, you feel and think better, speeding up your recovery process.
My approach improves emotional regulation, communication, and socialization. Building these essential skills results in improved stress managment, self confidence, and progress towards your goals. I offer a free 45 minute consult so we can meet and discuss your needs. This is the best way to see if my services are a good fit for you. Wishing you the BEST.
