Our therapy sessions for individuals with ADHD teaches tools and techniques to better manage and reduce the symptoms of ADHD. We also help improve emotional regulation skill, anxiety management, and time management, which will improve the overall well-being of individuals with ADHD.
Using a strengths-based approach, we can work on the thoughts, behaviours, and executive functioning issues that are characteristics of ADHD. You don't need a formal diagnosis to seek help. Self-identifying with ADHD or living with ADHD traits can also affect daily functioning and overall life satisfaction.
ADHD can be challenging, teens with a diagnosis often get labelled as being lazy or forgetful. Really, they just need help to learn certain skills. Those who get a diagnosis in adulthood frequently describe feeling scattered and misunderstood. That is where we come in. We can help teach those important skills and instill those habits for success! Let us help you.

As someone who suffers from ADHD or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, I can help you navigate through this neurodevelopmental condition. ADHD causes people to have difficulty paying attention, identifying and/or controlling their impulses.
I specialize in ADHD treatment, especially for women and girls. I meet you where you're at to see where we should start. I can offer coping strategies for some things (eg. sleep difficulties) and for other difficulties we might dig a little deeper to try and understand it better (eg. relationship issues).
Our ADHD therapy provides tailored support and practical strategies to help individuals manage Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder effectively. We focus on improving attention, organization, and impulse control through evidence-based interventions. Our approach includes psychoeducation, behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices to enhance daily functioning and overall well-being. Our goal is to empower individuals with ADHD to thrive in all areas of their lives.
I have found that a surprisingly high percentage of people seeking Psychotherapy have undiagnosed Adult ADHD/ADD and recognition assists in therapy.
