About Us

Thank you for visiting! I’m a Certified Clinical Counsellor based in Alberta, specializing in ADHD therapy for children, teens, and adults. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve also been personally diagnosed with ADHD—so I understand firsthand the frustration, mental exhaustion, and resilience that can come with a neurodivergent brain. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been navigating ADHD for years, I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space to help you build clarity, structure, and confidence.

My practice is rooted in a client-centred, trauma-informed approach, and I also support individuals and families dealing with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship stress, and life transitions. I work with individuals, couples, and families, helping them strengthen communication, reduce overwhelm, and reconnect with what matters most.

As a therapist with over 25 years in the mental health field and 14 years of counselling experience, I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s needs. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strength-Based interventions. When working with ADHD, I focus on executive functioning, self-esteem, emotion regulation, and practical strategies that actually work in real life—not just on paper.

If you’re feeling stuck, scattered, or overwhelmed by daily demands, therapy can be a powerful tool for clarity and change. Together, we’ll build personalized strategies to help you manage your ADHD, improve your relationships, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and rewarding.

I’m passionate about supporting mental health in Alberta and understand how important it is to find a therapist who truly gets it—especially when it comes to neurodivergence like ADHD. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or your partner, I’m here to walk with you through it.

Take a look around my website to learn more about the counselling services I offer, especially for ADHD, anxiety, and emotional regulation. If you’re ready to take the first step toward meaningful, lasting change, contact me today for a free, confidential consultation.

Let’s build a life that works with your brain—not against it.

Areas of Specialty

My practice specializes in supporting individuals with ADHD—including children, teens, and adults—who are struggling with focus, impulsivity, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and self-esteem. Whether you've recently been diagnosed or have lived with ADHD for years, I provide therapy that helps you understand how ADHD impacts your day-to-day life and develop strategies that actually work for your brain.

I also support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief, offering a compassionate, client-centred approach rooted in evidence-based practices. My experience includes working with children and youth facing behavioural challenges, school-related stress, and ADD/ADHD-related difficulties, as well as helping families build better communication and connection.

For couples navigating relationship difficulties, I offer therapy that focuses on rebuilding trust, improving communication, and deepening emotional connection—especially in relationships where neurodiversity (like ADHD) may play a role.
