ADD/ADHD, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and many types of addictive behaviours are the focus of my practice. Being diagnosed with ADHD at 5 years of age, I am uniquely able to help others living with ADD. I use my lived experience, research and years of experience with clients to help you identify the strategies you need to find the freedom, functionality and joy you are looking for in your life. I know what works best, because I have seen it first-hand. It is important to use strategies that actually work for ADD people when working on any other issues that we may have.
The most frequent feedback I receive is that I have provided the 'aha' moment, which allows forward movement and upward growth in my client's lives. My clients also comment on how different it feels to have a counsellor who has actually been through what they are going through.
I understand what it is like to struggle with mental health challenges and neurodiversity. It can feel like nobody understands and that change is impossible. Together, we can achieve the goals you have for yourself!

My approach: solution-focussed, mindfulness-based, cognitive-behavioural. My clients begin to see change immediately (usually 5-10 sessions) as we focus on present-moment issues to figure out life-long patterns. By learning and implementing more effective behaviour and thought patterns, my client's circumstances change and they feel better.
