I work with clients experiencing issues with ADHD, addiction, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety, sexual trauma, episodes of disassociation and self-harm.
Feeling "too much" or fearing rejection shouldn't be a barrier to a fulfilling life. I am a trauma-informed therapist dedicated to helping Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and those navigating Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling empowered. In our work together, we’ll move beyond "just talking" to understand how your unique nervous system processes the world. Whether you’re struggling with the crushing weight of perceived criticism or the exhaustion of sensory overload, I provide a compassionate, neuro-affirming space where your sensitivity is viewed as a strength, not a flaw.

Hello, I am Nadine. I will briefly introduce myself. I am a mother of four with a personal experience of ADHD, and I know first-hand the transformative power of therapy. Diagnosed four years ago, my journey led me to understand the profound impact of talking therapy on mental health and well-being. This personal insight fuels my passion for helping others navigate their unique paths and their journey toward empowerment and healing. I am a pluralistic practitioner and what this means is that the sessions are built around the person's individual needs. The sessions have no set agenda but we will work in collaboration.

I am passionate about humans' ability to heal their emotional wounds when they feel supported on their personal path. We all have greater potential and resources than we think. A lot of the times it is difficult to access these, for various reasons. Therapy helps explore the ways we relate to ourselves and others. It is a journey towards finding or becoming yourself.

My clients are people who are quietly struggling. They show up well in the world — at work, in relationships, in the roles they play — but something underneath isn't right. Stress and anxiety are often present, though they rarely arrive with those labels. More often they show up as overthinking, difficulty switching off, a sense of never quite feeling settled, self-destructive patterns, or a nagging feeling that life should feel different to this. I also work with couples who have reached a point where the same arguments keep happening and something needs to change.

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, behavioural 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.

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.
