About
I'm a neurodiverse psychotherapist and a mom to neurodiverse kids, and that lived experience shapes everything about how I work. I hold 4 degrees in psychology and have spent over 20 years as a Canadian Certified Counsellor, with 1500+ hours of doctoral clinical supervised practice. Assessment and treatment of ADHD, Autism, and the many diagnoses that travel alongside neurodiversity are at the core of my practice, and I bring both clinical depth and genuine personal understanding to that work.
Before focusing on neurodiversity, I spent decades in women's health, working with domestic violence survivors, supporting people through childbirth and peri/menopause, and doing research in women's health. That history shapes a particular lens on how neurodiversity shows up for women and other marginalized genders, and it informs a trauma-informed, neuroaffirming approach across everything I do.
In therapy, I work from a humanistic standpoint. You are the expert on your own life. My job is to be curious alongside you, help you figure out what's getting in the way, and think together about what makes a life worth living. I primarily work with individuals 17 and older, and I strive to be a genuinely open and affirming space for gender diverse, queer, poly, and kink communities.
For assessments, I offer collaborative, incremental ADHD and Autism assessments, as well as surgical readiness assessments for gender affirming surgery. All reports are supervised and signed by a registered psychologist. I'm committed to staying current with psychology's evolving understanding of neurodiversity across the lifespan and across cultures, so you're getting the most accurate, up-to-date picture possible.
