Do you struggle with the changes life can bring? Changes—whether in career, health, relationships, or other areas—can deeply impact our sense of self and how we relate to others. These shifts can often affect our mood, functioning, and daily life, leaving us feeling exhausted, anxious, and uncertain. Now more than ever, people are struggling with grief, frustration, or a sense of being overwhelmed by the pace and unpredictability of life. You are not alone.

I use an integrative, neurodiversity-affirming approach grounded in ACT, existential, and attachment-based therapy.
My practice supports late-identified autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults, whether self-identified or formally diagnosed. You might feel overstimulated or overwhelmed, or find that what you’re able to do doesn’t match what you want to do, or what others expect of you. Many of the people I see feel chronically misunderstood, self-critical, or burned out from years of adapting to meet expectations that don’t fit who they are.

I work with both individuals and couples, offering a collaborative space where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered. My goal is to help clients trust themselves again—to tune into their emotions, understand them, and regulate them more effectively.
This sometimes means revisiting and healing past wounds so you can move forward feeling more free and confident. I believe in every person’s innate capacity for growth—and I'm honoured to witness that process unfold. I meet every client where they are, with warmth, empathy, and gentle humour.

I draw from CBT, IFS, attachment-based approaches, and CFT, and I tailor each session to you rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach
Somewhere along the way, many of us learn to shrink ourselves to stay loved, accepted, or safe. If that sounds familiar, you might be carrying childhood trauma, faith-based trauma, or the weight of navigating your identity within your culture, your family, or the LGBTQ2IA+ community. You might be neurodivergent and still figuring out what that means for how you move through the world. I work with adolescents and adults facing these experiences, including depression, C-PTSD, family dysfunction, and relationship challenges, and I bring culturally responsive care that honours where you come from.

Attachment-based Counsellors
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
