You know what you need to do. You may even have a list, a plan, and good intentions. But getting started can still feel impossible. Then the deadline gets close, panic takes over, and you’re left wondering why everything has to be so hard.

Maybe you look like you’re keeping up, but behind the scenes you’re overwhelmed by unfinished tasks, putting off messages, losing track of time, or using all your energy just to get through the day. Maybe work follows you home: you replay conversations, worry about what you missed, or feel the Sunday night dread before the week has even begun. Over time, anxiety, perfectionism, low mood, or burnout can make you feel stuck, disconnected, and hard on yourself.

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist who supports adults navigating ADHD and executive functioning challenges, anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, low mood, and life transitions. In therapy, we can look at what’s making things difficult without reducing it to “you just need more discipline.” We can build practical strategies for your day to day life, understand patterns that keep you stuck, and find ways to respond to yourself with less blame and more compassion.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), adapting our work to your needs and what feels useful to you. My experience supporting people with neurodevelopmental differences has shaped how I think about the many ways people manage attention, emotions, and everyday demands.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Applied Science from the University of Guelph. If you’re tired of feeling like you should be able to manage everything on your own, therapy can be a place to understand what’s going on and work out a next step that fits your life.
