Take a deep breath, you're finally here looking for the help you think you might need. Let's talk about the hustle of life. It's like being in a marathon, with the finish line constantly moving. Pressure comes from everywhere – pressures of society as we scroll through social media, family demands, work challenges, and that nagging voice in your head asking if you're enough. It's the constant effort of trying to overcome letdowns from others and ourselves. Sometimes, it can feel like you're an outsider in your own life, watching through a window as everyone else seems to have it all figured out.

Lately, have you been feeling less and less like the person you once were? You feel disconnected from the life that used to bring you joy and satisfaction. Perhaps you’ve experienced a dramatic life event or transition that has brought about this change? You’ve moved, ended school, started a new job, or begun a new relationship. Maybe it is more related to the loss of something or someone in your life. Possibly the change has been more subtle and unexplainable, and you just don’t feel like yourself anymore. I can help. I understand that life can throw us curveballs that we are rarely ready for.

Don't fight to get tested for ADHD. We run ADHD clinics every month, get evaluated and properly diagnosed. Already have ADHD? Join our intensive program, next start date is on June 12, 2024. This next cohort is focused on emotional regulation, because ADHD is more than just not following through, and getting trapped in procrastination.

Relationships are hard. When things aren't going well, there's nothing more difficult than trying to deal with another person, especially someone you love. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused, heartbroken and alone. It can get you questioning everything you ever thought was real about your relationship and wonder how you'll ever get things right side up again. Don't give up. I know it's not easy, but it can get better.

Our humanity is shared in that we all experience stress, pain, and conflicts in our lives. Through small shifts, our relationships with others and ourselves can improve when we align our inner experience, thoughts, and behaviours with our authentic self. I like to approach therapy by helping you uncover the blocks that are keeping you from living as the absolute best version of yourself.

You've likely heard many times that you put too much pressure on yourself. You're anxious, high achieving and a perfectionist. You're hesitant to let go of your anxiety because the voice in your head that says, "Do more, be better" is what has allowed you to reach the high standards that you hold for yourself. Maybe this has worked for some time, but now, you are reaching a tipping point with burnout on the other side.

Growing up I realized that helping people was of great interest to me. It just felt good helping someone who was hurt, having a bad day emotionally or simply wanted to talk. This genuine interest in the wellbeing of others, had me dreaming of a profession in which I could provide support to other people. I have over five years experience working with individuals to realize their goals. I am delighted to be helping individuals to navigate through difficult times and celebrate breakthroughs with them.
