Area of Focus
My area of focus is people diagnosed with ADHD, both youth and those diagnosed later in life. We will work on unpacking how ADHD has, and continues to, impact you. Such as any difficulties you’ve face and examine neuronormativity and how it relates to your life. I offer neurodivergent informed mindfulness practice as an alternative to traditional mindfulness practices. My professional Journey As a late-diagnosed ADHDer, I know what it can feel like to be overwhelmed and anxious by many of life's challenges.
Before my diagnosis, I often compared myself to other people and wondered why I struggled with the typical ways of doing things. Once I began to appreciate the beauty of different neurotypes I learned to work with my brain rather than of against it. Understanding our uniqueness can be empowering and a catalyst for positive change.
As a counsellor, my goal is to provide a safe space for you to explore all of your traits and develop strategies to manage stress and overwhelm so that you feel more productive and organized. You already possess many strengths and capacities that we can build upon in our sessions, as well as develop new strategies for moving forward. Our sessions are a safe place for you to discuss the challenges you’ve been experiencing. Together, we will embrace your neurodivergence, work towards your goals and aspirations and process any losses that result from living in a neurotypically biased world.
