Provider information

Description

I specialize in working with people who grew up in stressful circumstances, are neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, or both) and those who have experienced various types of trauma. I also have a deep understanding of the unique challenges that come with navigating a world that often feels like it wasn’t designed for you. Whether you’re struggling with overwhelming emotions, are relying on substances or unhealthy behaviours to cope, feeling stuck in cycles of burnout, or grappling with existential questions about meaning and purpose, I can help.
