Psychotherapy is a treatment process which allows clients to have a one-on-one interaction with the therapist. It provides a confidential, safe and comfortable environment where individuals can explore their feelings and behaviors.
We offer specialized treatment for ADHD.
My primary treatment approaches for ADHD include psychoeducation, behaviour therapy, psychotherapy, parent training and treatment for any comorbid conditions including anxiety, depression, etc.
ADHD can impact the daily activities of children, adolescents and adults. Individuals with ADHD often experience distractibility, forgetfulness, inability to focus or maintain conversations, restlessness and poor time management. My therapy approach focuses on working together to develop strategies and techniques suited to your needs, whether it's managing behaviours or working on time management. I also provide full psychoeducational assessments to test for ADHD and learning disorders. For further information, please feel free to contact me and receive a prompt reply.

Do you experience trouble concentrating and have difficulty prioritizing important tasks? Is it hard for you to stick to a schedule? Do you often feel restless or do things you regret later? Do those around you blame you for not listening? ADHD can impact all aspects of your life and leave you feeling very stressed out. In fact, those with ADHD experience more negative emotions such as overwhelm and helplessness, in addition to experiencing very strong or powerful emotions that can be hard to regulate. If you are constantly stressed and feel like your life is out of your control and is taking you for the ride, we can help!
We prioritize rapport-building and using a compassionate approach so that you feel safe as you explore the experiences and feelings that are coming up for you today. You are not your difficulties and so it is just as important for us to explore your goals, strengths and story as we tackle the challenges that you are facing. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, we would be honoured to be a part of your journey. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation by phone where we can answer your questions. You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.
ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults.
ADHD can have a significant impact on a person's life, including education, work, and relationships. However, with the right support, lifestyle changes such as exercise, a healthy diet, and working as a team to identify coping strategies and develop skills, etc. individuals with ADHD can learn to manage and thrive in their daily lives.

Understanding how ADHD symptoms manifest in one's life is crucial. This includes recognizing patterns of impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention that may be causing difficulties. I choose CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) as an evidence-based treatment to understand symptoms, develop skills, change behavior patterns, and manage co-occurring issues .
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Social Worker (RSW), Certified ADHD Coach (AACC)
I provide therapy or coaching to adults with ADHD. Each individual has their own unique goals but some common examples may include working on executive functioning issues such as organization, prioritizing, time management, emotional regulation or coping with focus and attention issues, managing sensory issues, relationships, careers, or navigating the post secondary environment and accessing accommodations. Every person with ADHD has their strengths that help them navigate their challenges. We use these strengths when developing a plan to achieve your goals.
In addition to providing psychoeducational and ADHD assessments, Peakminds supports clients who have received an ADHD diagnosis with therapy, ADHD coaching, and group ADHD classes.

From a trauma-informed perspective ADHD is understood as an inability to quiet all of the noise internally and externally which creates difficulty in directing focus, starting, switching, and completing tasks, and organizing information in clear ways. ADHD is not a maladaptive brain, it is a response to trauma that has changed the way the brain and nervous system receive information. The work we can do will be to help you better understand your ADHD, learn how to work with your brain and body in ways that are more functional for your ADHD, and resolve the root of what is driving the executive dysfunction in the first place.
