You have been diagnosed with or are questioning your neurodivergence, whether it be ADHD, Autism, or both. You feel overwhelmed by daily tasks and lengthy to-do lists, making it challenging to initiate important projects or transition between activities. You find that certain projects take longer due to a tendency to focus intensely on minor details in pursuit of perfection. You are hyperaware of yourself and how you are perceived by others. Your constant analysis and thought processes leave you feeling fatigued while simultaneously struggling with consistent sleep, which may be negatively impacting your work or school performance.
As a late-diagnosed AuDHDer (Autism + ADHD), I understand that both conditions can be incredibly debilitating, even while they may also foster unique strengths and skill sets. I offer counselling and psychotherapy services from a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and 2SLGBTQ-affirming framework with individuals, couples, families, and groups.
My approach is friendly, supportive, and conversational, while also focusing on achieving goals and desired outcomes. I prioritize empathy, compassion, validation, and the appropriate use of self-disclosure, and I place a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a free consultation or check out my website!

Groups
Adult AuDHD Peer Support Group
This virtual group is for Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults (18+) who are late-diagnosed, self-identified, or still figuring things out. If you've spent most of your life feeling like you didn't quite fit, this space was made for you. Each week we gather around a member-chosen topic with room for connection, mutual support, and shared knowledge. Intention is to build community, self-compassion, and unmasking at your own pace. Whether you're newly identified or have known for years, you're welcome here. This is a small, closed group professionally facilitated by neurodivergent therapists.
