Accepting New Clients! Being human is full of joys, heartbreaks, & lessons. To thrive, we need to navigate the tough stuff and understand and resolve the subconscious blocks that hold us back.

If there is such a thing as a superpower, mine is that I'm able to see and feel people's best/higher self.

As the founder of Independence Counselling, I am a believer in the power of connection. In the power of supporting each other and in the power of allowing others to support us. Life can be hard. And telling someone that we are struggling can sometimes be harder. Staying hidden and silent won’t bring us the healing we long for. But reaching out, risking just might. I hope you take the risk and reach out. I’ll be right here.

As a former NCAA D1 athlete, queer, neurodivergent, and Maltese-Canadian, I know what it's like to untangle and navigate the complex, awe-inspiring work of being human. Using a future-oriented approach, rooted in possibility and empowerment, I believe growth happens when we explore the meaning behind our experiences; how they shape us, the way we relate to others, and pursue what matters most to us. In therapy, I work alongside clients to uncover the “how” and “why” beneath their patterns, empowering them to make sense of their experiences in context of the systems they exist within, and to move forward with confidence and clarity.

Hi! My areas of interest and expertise include working with people who have survived trauma and sexual abuse.

I also enjoy working with adolescents; having once been a teen in need of additional support, I am able to empathize and quickly connect with young people. Other topics focused on at my practice are BPD and mood disorders, anger management, self-esteem, and relational issues.

ADHD Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
