Understanding ADHD
Whether you've just been diagnosed with ADHD or have known for years, it can feel heavy. You might be exhausted from struggling with focus, motivation, and coping strategies that don't work. For many women, this exhaustion runs deeper — ADHD in women is widely underdiagnosed and often mistaken for anxiety, depression, or "being too sensitive." Years of masking and overcompensating can leave you burned out, carrying shame you never deserved, and unsure how to move forward.
You're not lazy, unmotivated, or broken. Your brain simply works differently — and with the right tools, that can change.
How I Can Help
I specialize in working with adults at every stage of their ADHD journey — especially women and those diagnosed later in life who are rewriting their story. Having ADHD myself, I bring genuine understanding of what it's like to live with a busy, creative, and overstimulated mind. As an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) and Clinical Coach, I bridge the emotional depth of therapy with the practical focus of coaching — exploring how ADHD impacts your identity, confidence, and relationships while building concrete tools for daily life.
My Approach
Many people with ADHD know what they "should" do but struggle to bridge the gap between intention and action. A significant part of that work involves the emotional side of ADHD. Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) — the intense emotional pain tied to perceived criticism or failure — shapes relationships, careers, and self-worth in ways that often only make sense post-diagnosis. Emotional dysregulation, rapid mood shifts, and difficulty returning to baseline are core ADHD features that deserve real, targeted support.
I blend CBT, DBT, and ADHD-focused coaching to address both emotional patterns and practical skills. DBT offers powerful tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance that translate directly to life with ADHD. Sessions are structured but flexible and ADHD-friendly — you won't be judged for being late or needing to move around.
What We Can Work On
RSD and emotional regulation, executive dysfunction and procrastination, ADHD burnout and overwhelm, the unique challenges of ADHD in women (masking, late diagnosis, hormonal shifts), perfectionism and shame, relationship and communication difficulties, workplace challenges, life transitions, and ADHD with or without medication.
Virtual Therapy Across BC
I provide virtual therapy exclusively, which means no commute, no transitions, no executive function drain just getting to your session. Work with your ADHD brain, not against it—from wherever you feel most comfortable.
If you're ready to develop self-awareness, practical skills, and confidence in your ADHD journey, I'd be honored to support you.
Additional Areas of Expertise
While ADHD is my primary specialty, I also work with clients navigating addiction, anger management, and men's mental health issues.
Addiction: I help clients understand the patterns behind their challenging behaviors. Whether it be substances, pornography, gambling, or social media—I can help develop healthier coping strategies to build sustainable recovery. I also support caregivers, partners, and family members affected by a loved one's addiction, working through boundary-setting, managing worry and frustration, and taking care of your own wellbeing while supporting someone you care about.
Anger Management: We explore what's beneath the anger—frustration, shame, or feeling unheard—and develop tools for emotional regulation and communication that actually work in real life.
Men's Issues: I create judgment-free space for men to explore emotions, relationship challenges, identity, and personal growth. Whether you're dealing with stress, transitions, or feeling stuck, we'll work through it together.
Across all areas, my approach remains practical, collaborative, and grounded in compassion.

The start of a new year often arrives with a quiet pressure. That pressure is around that the issues from the past year need to be resolved and this year is the year it finally happens!

There is the hope that this year might be different, paired with the familiar worry that it won’t be. Many people with ADHD…
