My practice focuses on children, adolescents, and young adults (and their families) with a wide range of complex learning needs. We are all complex and we are all life-long learners, but that some people are more complex than others. Anxiety, giftedness, social and academic challenges, and any number of other complexities can result in frustration that affects not only the complex learner, but the entire family. We focus on discovering the unique strengths of each individual so we ca capitalize on those areas while also identifying areas of challenge so we can build on or, as necessary, plan to avoid those areas.

Now more than ever, our lives are full of uncertainty. Navigating relationships, managing anxiety, and finding joy may be more challenging than before. It can be lonely trying to go through all of this by yourself. Having someone to share your journey with and help you process the challenges, changes, and unknowns of your life may help you find the peace that you've been missing.

Hi, my name is Kate. If you are reading this, then you have reached a place where you are doing your own research to determine what therapist is going to be the best for you. This is the beginning stage of change where you are putting your own needs first. I applaud you for having the courage to do so. In today’s society it is easy to fill your days to the point where you can distract yourself, from yourself. Therapy provides a way to pause and reflect, and then to set goals to begin to change things in your life; the things that are holding you back from being your true self.

Do you feel stuck, either within yourself or with someone you're close to, and wonder what is holding you back? You desire being your true self and communicating authentically. Sometimes things feel all mixed up or dissonant, and feelings of sadness, confusion, or anxiety can block communication or taking next steps with confidence. Whether it's just you, or you with a loved one(s), I'd like to help you untie those knots and find beautiful movement. I bring an understanding of trauma, attachment wounds/styles, and neurobiology, as well as a value of social justice. I work exclusively online with clients across Canada.

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.
