I’m a pre-accredited psychotherapist with lived experience of ADHD.
I help adults who are neurodivergent (diagnosed or self-identified) with anxiety, burnout, masking fatigue, and self-doubt. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or disconnected. I know how hard it is masking and trying to fit into systems that don’t work. I can help you be yourself and deal with the feelings of overwhelm.

If you’ve found your way here, you might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where we can explore what’s happening and find a way forward together. With over eight years of clinical experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting many people through different challenges, helping them build strength, clarity, and a more fulfilling life. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I studied philosophy and religions, completing a doctorate. This shapes my interest in the questions of meaning and identity. I put strong emphasis on practical applications of therapy in life.

I work with adults who have spent years feeling "too much" or "not enough", misunderstood, unable to fulfil potential or find the motivation to do the things they would like to, burnt out before discovering they are ADHD and/or autistic — often in college or midlife.
My approach is kind, compassionate, collaborative, and client-centred, focused on building resilience, clarity, and meaningful coping strategies.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, ADHD, suicidal thoughts, burnout, perfectionism, low self‑esteem, emotional overwhelm, life transitions and feelings of being stuck or disconnected.
If life feels heavy, overwhelming or confusing, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to work it out by yourself. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, worn down by anxiety, self‑doubt, burnout or the pressure to keep everything together. Therapy can be a space to pause, breathe, and gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface. I offer integrative Talk & Art Therapy for 16+, providing a supportive and creative space where you can express yourself in ways that feel right for you. I'm happy to see if we're a good fit and if not I'll help you find a therapist that is.

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.
