I am excited to run groups again. I've done ones for ND adults with the focus of ambiguous grief and open-ended processing ones and really learned so much.

Stuck, burned out, or disconnected from yourself or your partner? Most men and couples I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, resentful, on edge, or unsure of their purpose. Whether you’re navigating a relationship impasse, a life transition, fatherhood stress, or pressure to “keep it together,” you don’t have to figure it out alone. I support men, individuals, and couples struggling with communication issues, conflict, emotional shutdown, anger, grief, anxiety, and identity concerns.

I support adults and youth ages 14+ with a special focus on neurodiversity (e.g. giftedness, Autism, ADHD) and trauma.
We all need a space where we can be ourselves. When walking alone gets hard, therapy can help us restore our sense of self and make life manageable again. Stepping into this space can look like many things: being curious about ourselves, making meaning out of painful experiences, coming into connection with vital feelings and needs, and understanding and respecting the parts of you that you want to change. For some of us, healing can only happen in a space that acknowledges the impacts of marginalization and the need for systemic change. From here, we can begin to find new ways of being in the world that honour all of who we are.

I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond.

My focus is on providing a caring, non-judgmental and safe space for clients to share their stories and work through their challenges. I believe that there is no “one-size-fits-all” method to supporting clients, and trust the client is the expert of their own life. I also understand the importance of developing a collaborative therapeutic relationship and strive to help my clients to recognize their existing strengths, while acknowledging their unique needs, priorities and values.

In life, there are moments when we feel stuck and unable to move forward, even when we are surrounded by the beauty of the world. Everyone deserves a safe space to explore vulnerabilities without judgment. As a therapist, I approach each session with warmth, empathy, compassion, and respect. Many people who experience feelings of sadness or anxiety try to avoid these emotions rather than expressing them, but I believe everyone has the capacity to grow and transform their behavior. My goal is to help clients recognize and build upon their strengths and resilience. Seeking guidance from a therapist is an important step towards healing

As a former physician, I have often been captivated by the complexities of human behaviour and the underlying mechanisms driving our actions and emotions. While I found medicine to be immensely rewarding, it was the psychological aspects of patient care that truly resonated with me. I became increasingly fascinated by the intricate connections between mind and body, and I recognized how addressing mental health issues could greatly enhance overall well-being. This realization led me to pursue a new direction: exploring the profound impact of mental health on our lives and supporting those struggling within this area.

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.
