ADHD Therapy That Works With Your Brain, Not Against It
You are not lazy, unmotivated, or broken. Living in a world structured around neurotypical rhythms often leaves ADHD minds depleted by chronic shame, masking, and executive exhaustion. My clinical space is designed to help you construct a life that honours how you naturally think.
Beyond the Mask: Understanding Late-Diagnosed & Adult ADHD
Many adolescents and adults spend years pushing through invisible friction. They compensate for executive dysfunction with intense vigilance, using panic as their primary catalyst for action. This cycle works until it doesn't—inevitably resulting in severe burnout, depressive fatigue, or runaway anxiety.
In traditional therapy, clients are often handed rigid planners or told to practice simple willpower. As a neurodivergent clinician, I recognize that neurodivergent nervous systems do not operate on conventional demand. My work focuses on replacing shame-driven strategies with adaptive, low-friction systems tailored to your unique executive profile.
Core Pillars of My Therapeutic Work
Executive Function Design
Developing frictionless frameworks for task initiation, transition paralysis, working memory accommodation, and time estimation.
RSD & Emotional Sensitivity
Processing Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), interpersonal hyper-reactivity, and the vulnerability that follows perceived criticism.
Unmasking & Burnout Recovery
Identifying the exhausting behaviors adopted to "appear typical" and safely cultivating an authentic, restorative baseline.
Lived Experience Meets Clinical Structure
You don't need to spend our first five sessions educating me on what executive paralysis feels like or apologizing for missing a routine. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with lived neurodivergent experience, I pair evidence-informed interventions—including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), modified CBT, and Narrative Therapy—with authentic understanding.
Together, we look at your life through a lens of neuro-affirmative self-compassion, transforming self-criticism into practical self-advocacy across your career, academic life, and personal relationships.
Practical Logistics & Coverage
Therapy is available virtually to residents across Ontario via secure, PHIPA-compliant video software, or in-person at my Downtown Toronto office.
Most extended workplace health benefits provide comprehensive coverage for services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I encourage checking your specific insurance plan details to understand your mental health allowance.
