Whether you identify as an ADHD or AuDHD person, or love someone who does, if you're looking for support from someone who truly understands, I can help. If you're seeking answers to challenges or you're newly diagnosed & unsure where to start, you don't have to navigate it alone. ADHDers and Autistic folks are like everyone else, but can have unique experiences impacting them at home, work & in relationships. I work with adults, couples & families and specialize in helping ADHDers/AuDHDers & their loved ones understand their neurodigence, & manage concerns & challenges while appreciating & working with their brain, & not against it.

Making the decision to engage in therapy is a proactive way to ensure your mental health is a priority. My philosophy is to create a safe and secure environment that allows for open, honest discussion, which will then foster both understanding and healing. Using an integrative approach to therapy, I collaborate with each individual to create an experience that is comfortable, supported and progressive. It is my goal to help people explore their issues at their own pace, and in a supportive way. A unique element of my practice centres around Animal Assisted Therapy. I worked with my previous therapy dog (Mona) for 5 years.

In my 35 years treating depression I know how depression creates anxiety, stress, difficult relationships, and struggles with work. Depression is lonely. You hide it, and if you tell people, they make you feel it’s your fault. I understand that the core of depression is self hate. It robs joy and hope from life. You want your life to change so that you can live in peace rather than pain. I will help you see that your depression is not a disease or a weakness. It is a message that is trying to convey information about who you are and what happened in your life.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected? You're not alone, and you don't have to go through it alone. Whether you're navigating the emotional complexities of infertility, struggling with self-worth, processing grief, feeling lost in a life transition, or feeling disconnected in your relationships, therapy can be a powerful space to reconnect with yourself, your emotions and begin to heal. I strive to create a collaborative, non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are and where we can make sense of things together. It's within this space of feeling deeply understood that new patterns can emerge.

The relationship between therapist and client is the most important thing for me. I seek to provide a safe place for clients to explore feelings of discomfort. I work with thoughts, emotions and behaviour to support clients in better understanding themselves. I believe that knowing yourself more deeply is essential to feeling better. I work with individuals who are looking to work through trauma, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, grief and stress. I support clients struggling with life challenges, such as interpersonal relationships and emotion regulation.

You've done real work on yourself. You understand your patterns, you've been through therapy and other forms of self-improvement, and something still isn't moving. You may feel like you've never quite fit in. Perhaps you were "too much" for some spaces, not enough for others. You're not looking for someone to fix you. You're looking for a space where you don't have to edit yourself to be understood. A space that feels solid enough to hold whatever you bring so you can focus on your healing and personal growth. If any of this feels familiar, this may be the right fit for you.

From time to time many of us find ourselves struggling with our thoughts, emotions, and inner experiences. This can be described as an “inner voice” which is often: worrying, judging, analyzing and criticizing. It’s the one that tells us we aren’t good enough or that we are going to fail. This voice can become overwhelming and can even seem to take control over our thoughts. If you’ve ever experienced this, you are not alone. Together we can explore how to navigate difficult thoughts and emotions. This will lead to a better understanding of who you are, and create greater harmony in your life.

I have been working in clinical and community settings in mental health since 2011. I am honoured to support individual adults who are experiencing grief due to death or other loss, self-esteem and relationship issues, substance use, depression, anxiety, and traumatic injury. We all have within us a resilience to confront and handle even the most challenging of issues and I have such admiration of an individual's courage to explore and seek guidance in enhancing the quality of their life. A confidential, compassionate, and personalized approach to care is my priority.
