You may be someone who appears to have it all together but feels overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or stuck beneath the surface. Perhaps you have spent years people-pleasing, overthinking, putting others first, or struggling to set boundaries. You may be carrying the effects of trauma or wondering whether ADHD or neurodivergence has been overlooked or misunderstood. You are ready to better understand yourself, break long-standing patterns, and create meaningful change—not just find another temporary fix.

Many of the adults I work with feel caught between knowing what matters to them and having difficulty putting it into practice. This might mean struggling to get started or follow through with ADHD, feeling frustrated by pain, injury, or changes in activity, or finding that stress, perfectionism, and self-criticism keep getting in the way. I also support people working toward sustainable health changes, including concerns related to weight, physical activity, and everyday habits.

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.

Receipts are provided for clients to submit to their health insurance for reimbursement and direct billing is offered for Medavie Blue Cross and SunLife.
I help individuals and couples explore and strengthen their relationships; with partners, family, friends, and themselves. Our experiences shape how we think, feel, and connect with others and ourselves. When those experiences include hurt, loss, or disconnection, they can leave lasting patterns that we don’t always see right away. In our work, we might explore how past relationships and attachment patterns show up in your present, make sense of your emotional world, strengthen communication, explore healthy boundaries, or build practical skills to manage the anxiety, depression, and trauma that can come from relational struggles.
