Empowering ADHD Therapy
I offer support for individuals with ADHD, whether diagnosed or exploring an assessment. ADHD shows up differently for each person, and my therapy involves creating a personalized plan that targets your unique needs. You are not lazy or broken, you are not too sensitive, and you don’t have to live life feeling unworthy, guilty or ashamed.
Let’s turn your ADHD into a superpower by learning how to harness its potential.
Perimenopause and Midlife Transitions
Reaching the point of midlife can bring many unexpected changes in mood, energy, sleep, focus, physical health and abilities and relationships. These shifts are real and they can alter the way you move through the world. I help clients during this transition stage to explore strategies for managing stress, understanding and navigating emotions and strengthening their overall resilience. For women going through this time, I specialize in perimenopause and can help you advocate for your needs within the medical system. This can be an exciting time if you have knowledge, and support.
Healing Through Trauma Therapy
Trauma is a deeply personal experience that can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope. Through the use of various therapeutic models, including EMDR and somatic experiencing, I provide a supportive space where we can process and integrate trauma that releases its tight grip on the body and mind, so you can develop a sense of understanding and empowerment that illuminates a path forward.
Frameworks I Use in My Practice
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. When people experience a traumatic event, it is stored in an emotional form in the brain and body. EMDR is a way to help process trauma through bilateral stimulation, and studies show that it can accelerate therapy and allow people to live more fully in the present.
Attachment
Attachment theory is a psychological framework that considers the bond between an infant and primary caregiver, and how that bond might impact various relationships throughout one’s life. The four attachment styles - secure, avoidant, anxious, and anxious-avoidant - help to explain how an individual relates to others and how they express themselves in their relationships. Attachment therapy aims to build or rebuild a trusting, supportive relationship through the counsellor-client connection.
Solution-focused
Solution-focused therapy considers individuals the experts of their own life. By establishing a counsellor-client bond, working collaboratively to set goals and create change, and focusing on the possibilities that lie ahead rather than sitting in the current problem(s), the counsellor and client co-create a treatment plan that is specific to the individual’s needs.
CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an intervention that focuses on challenging negative thoughts. People tend to believe that the automatic thoughts our brain sends us are truths, when in fact many times they are not. You are not your thoughts, you are the observer of your thoughts, and what’s more is that you have the power to change them. When you learn to do that, you then start to take control of your life and create the reality you aspire to be a part of.
Existential
Existential therapy places an emphasis on an individual’s free will, self-determination and the search for meaning and purpose. Researchers are discovering that resilience (the ability to recover quickly from challenges) is linked to one’s strength in their belief system and the notion that they are part of something larger than themselves.
Trauma-Informed
When someone experiences a perceived trauma, their sense of control and/or their confidence in their ability to protect themselves is compromised and in some cases, shattered. By taking a trauma-informed approach, I aid clients in building strategies that help them manage life’s challenges, and even potential triggers.
