We use a compassionate, collaborative and integrative approach to navigating life with ADHD, often using a blend of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and more. By exploring thoughts, feelings, patterns and behaviours, we equip you with practical tools to enhance executive functioning skills and bring increased structure and focus to your daily life. Building on your unique strengths, needs and interests, we work with you to set, work towards and achieve goals that strengthen your sense of self, nurture your self-worth, and increase your self-confidence in all areas of your life.
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.
Discover a path to thriving with ADHD through my expertise in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). With these evidence-based approaches, I offer practical strategies to manage impulsivity, improve focus, and enhance emotional regulation. Together, we'll navigate the challenges of ADHD with compassion and skill, empowering you to unlock your full potential and live a fulfilling life.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the type most used for ADHD and is especially well-suited for adults. Behavioral therapy is simply therapy that helps you change your behavior. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps you change your behavior by changing your thought processes.

We recognize that individuals with ADHD often struggle with emotional regulation, mental flexibility, organization, and planning. Our therapy approach emphasizes skill-building in these areas through evidence-based techniques and strategies. We aim to enhance your ability to manage emotions, adapt to changing circumstances, improve organizational skills, and develop effective planning techniques.
Holistic Healing
We are open to discussing and integrating these methods into the treatment plan as long as they are safe, evidence-based, and align with your individual goals and preferences. We prioritize a collaborative approach, where we work together to explore and incorporate alternative strategies that complement traditional therapeutic interventions.
Medication Management
Medication can play a valuable role in managing ADHD symptoms. We work closely with psychiatrists or other healthcare professionals to assess the need for medication and determine the most suitable options. Regular monitoring and adjustments are made to ensure optimal symptom control and minimize side effects.
Psychiatric Assessment
Whether you are self-diagnosed or seeking a professional evaluation, we encourage a comprehensive psychiatric assessment to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. This assessment with our partnered organization may involve an in-depth evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and co-occurring conditions. It helps us tailor the treatment approach to your specific needs.
It's not easy living with ADHD in systems, institutions and communities that were historically built by and for neuro-typical people. Living with neurodivergence means that others struggle to understand, empathize with, and extend grace and compassion towards you. They either do not know about, do not think about, cannot imagine, or refuse to offer you the types of accommodations that would support you to show up, engage and contribute to the best of your abilities. This can make you feel further misunderstood, isolated and marginalized, and reduce your access to resources and opportunities for care and growth.
Let's work together to:
Explore, better understand & accept your unique strengths & challenges as someone living with ADHD.
Learn & apply new techniques & approaches to address some of the executive functioning challenges that come with ADHD (including planning, organization, and time-management).
Learn effective ways of managing your stress to reduce the intensity of the symptoms of ADHD.
Create doable personalized plans to feel more balanced, well, fulfilled and engaged in your work / studies, relationships, and personal life.
Learn about and self-advocate for academic & workplace accommodations that can reduce your experiences of overwhelm & stress, and set you up for success.
