ADULT COUNSELLING SERVICES
Receiving an ADHD diagnosis as an adult can be an emotional and overwhelming experience. For some, it brings relief - a long-awaited “this explains so much” moment. For others, it opens the door to grief, confusion, self-doubt, or frustration about years of feeling different, misunderstood, or that something has been deeply wrong.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC#21698) and a professional member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA #11243612). I hold a Master’s in Counselling Psychology degree and have extensive experience across both private and public healthcare sectors.
I specialize in working with individuals and couples where ADHD is present, supporting both the practical challenges and the emotional impact that often comes with it. ADHD rarely exists on its own, it frequently intersects with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, attachment wounds, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, and grief. My work focuses on addressing ADHD and the deeper patterns underneath it.
My approach is integrative, relational, holistic, and nervous-system informed. I support clients with:
- ADHD coaching and executive functioning skills
- Emotion regulation and emotional processing
- Reducing shame and working with a strong inner critic
- Relationship challenges and communication (including couples where ADHD impacts connection)
- Anxiety, depression, and burnout
- Attachment concerns, self-esteem, and grief
In our work together, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where we slow things down, build insight into what’s actually happening for you, and develop tools that support your real day-to-day life. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about understanding your nervous system, your patterns, and learning how to work with your brain rather than against it.
Many clients come to therapy feeling like ADHD is a curse, like they don’t quite belong or keep getting things “wrong.” My goal is to help you move toward self-compassion, clarity, and a sense of agency, while building skills that make life feel more manageable and aligned.
I typically recommend 4–6 sessions to begin the therapy process - building skills, understanding patterns, and getting to the root of concerns. Ongoing work is recommended through continued bi-weekly or monthly sessions, depending on your needs. For skills-based sessions, I recommend joining from a desktop or laptop so we can use the full screen for learning and tools.
My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, attachment-based work, somatic and nervous-system techniques, to support meaningful, lasting change.
Clients often experience:
- Improved executive functioning and daily structure
- Greater emotional regulation and self-understanding
- Reduced shame and self-criticism
- Stronger relationships and communication
- Insight into attachment patterns
- Increased self-compassion and confidence
- Relief from ADHD-related anxiety and depression
- Healing around grief, loss, and identity
- Improved relationships with others and themselves
You deserve support that sees the whole you, not just a diagnosis.
