You want to manage your emotions, behaviours, and relationships; feel less anxious and more able to relax; and gain control of your life. You can feel more calm, confident, and find moments of inner peace. By understanding how ADHD, trauma, or difficult experiences play a role in your life, you can work toward your goals and practice tools that work best for you. Members of 2SLGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities are welcome.
Growth and healing have different stages that we naturally flow back and forth through, not just in one direction. Certain approaches can help more at different stages, so I work with you to recognize where you are in each session and support you with the right tools at the right time.
