Yes. Sessions are virtual and available to adults anywhere in Ontario, including Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, Mississauga, and other communities across the province.

Look for explicit neurodivergent-affirming language, registration with a regulated professional college such as the OCSWSSW or CRPO, and ideally lived experience or substantial clinical experience with neurodivergence. You can also book a free 20-minute meet-and-greet to check whether the therapist feels like a good fit.

Therapy can help you create systems that work with your brain rather than against it. We explore task initiation, organization, time management, and procrastination, not as personal failings, but as areas where tailored strategies can make a big difference. Many clients experience relief when they finally understand why past systems didn’t work and build ones that actually fit.

Giftedness often comes with high expectations and painful self-criticism. Therapy can help you reframe your story from one of “wasted potential” to one of resilience and complexity. Together we address burnout, emotional intensity, and rejection sensitivity (RSD) while helping you reconnect with your creativity, intelligence, and worth, without pushing yourself to collapse.

Yes. A late diagnosis often triggers grief for missed opportunities and relief for new clarity. Therapy supports you in integrating both stories, who you thought you were and who you now know yourself to be. You may also find it helpful to read more about rediscovering identity after late diagnosis, especially if you are making sense of grief, relief, masking, and the process of rebuilding self-trust. We work on identity reconstruction, self-compassion, and building a sustainable lifestyle that honours your neurodivergence.

Rejection sensitivity (RSD) can create intense emotional reactions and relational challenges.

The goal isn’t to eliminate sensitivity but to reduce its grip so you can feel more grounded, understood, and connected in your relationships.

Yes. I understand that substances are often used as a way to regulate stress, anxiety, or pain. My harm-reduction approach allows you to explore your relationship with use without pressure to quit. Together, we focus on reducing harm, building alternative regulation tools, and making conscious choices that align with your goals.

The first session is about getting to know you. We explore your story, what brought you here, and what you hope to gain from therapy. There’s no pressure to share everything at once; you set the pace. From there, we start identifying your goals and shaping therapy around what feels most supportive for you.
