You've always managed. Pushed through. Found workarounds. But somewhere in your 30s and 40s, everything got harder, the brain fog, the overwhelm, the feeling that you're falling apart just when life expects the most from you. Perimenopause is often the moment ADHD finally shows its face in women, or makes an already difficult condition nearly unmanageable. You're not losing your mind. You're not weak. You're dealing with something real that most providers don't understand, let alone treat.
I'm a Registered Social Worker with over 20 years of experience and I hold advanced certifications in ADHD (ADHD-CCSP) and menopause mental health (MMHCP). I also have specialized CBTi training, and a Level 2 certificate in CBT for Reproductive Mental Health.
I help women navigate perimenopause and ADHD, which often intersect. You deserve to finally get answers and support that actually fits. Virtual therapy available in Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland & Labrador.

I work with adults who are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, overwhelm, and women's mental health concerns. In our early sessions we clarify goals, understand patterns, and build practical skills for focus, emotional regulation, boundaries, and self worth. Many clients notice steadier mood, improved confidence, and better day to day functioning within a few weeks.
