If you have ADHD and/or autism and have been dealing with anxiety, depression, executive dysfunction, low self-esteem, or burnout, know that you are not alone. As a therapist with autism and ADHD who has completed multiple trainings to work with neurodivergent clients, I can provide a safe space for you to make sense of your identity, which is especially crucial for individuals who were late-diagnosed. Understanding your sensory profile and unique needs can empower you and help manage stress, meltdowns, and exhaustion. I would be delighted to join you on this journey to live a better life and reclaim your sense of belonging.

Are you wondering how you can parent your children to be resilient, kind, compassionate, and responsible young adults? Does your child have ADHD, ASD, LD, DD, giftedness, or anxiety?

Life can be hard; being human isn’t easy. When we feel low, anxious, or overwhelmed, the world doesn’t slow down to give us space to catch up (even when we really need it to). We’re often left trying to navigate our thoughts, emotions, and relationships while still showing up for everything else. Over time this can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of ourselves. I approach therapy as a space where we can gently slow things down together. Through open conversation, collaborative exploration and the use of evidence-based therapies, we begin to notice patterns, how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you.

You may appear capable and put-together on the outside, while feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of yourself underneath. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, or never feeling “enough.” Some are new to therapy or grew up in environments where emotions or therapy were discouraged.
I also support professionals seeking a practical, solution-focused space to rebuild routines and create sustainable structure. Together, we design intentional changes, with clear action plans and accountability to support follow-through.

I see people who want better relationships with themselves, those close to them, friends and families. Sometimes people are not quite certain what is getting in the way of having those better relationships and sometimes people know. Often there is some emotional issue, either from the past or one arising in the present that is getting in the way. Many people want to feel more connected, have fewer conflicts in their relationships. In families, sometimes there are emotional patterns or behavioural patterns that are getting in the way of being more connected with each other.

As a clinical psychologist with interest in neuropsychology, I provide psychological assessment services to people experiencing a wide range of mental health difficulties including psychosis, bipolar disorder, depression, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, trauma-related disorders, ADHD, cognitive disorders, and learning disorders.
