Many of my clients are adults exploring or identifying with neurodivergence. Some of my clients are newly diagnosed, others self-identifying, and many who are still exploring what fits.
I work with individuals navigating ADHD, autism, AuDHD, and 2e experiences, including high-masking or high-achieving adults who appear capable on the outside but feel exhausted or unseen on the inside.

Autism masking burnout symptoms range from anxiety to depression. But the good news is you may find some therapeutic strategies helpful. My Autism support in Toronto can help you with:
Autism masking burnout symptoms can range from anxiety to depression, but what masking can look like and how therapy can help is often the first step toward understanding the exhaustion, overwhelm, and self-protection underneath it.
· Anxiety, depression, autism masking burnout
· Rejection sensitivity (RSD)
· Emotional overwhelm of shutdown
· Processing past trauma or relational trauma

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. In therapy, we focus on recognizing these patterns, calming your nervous system, and building healthier ways to respond. 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.
Yes. I provide secure, confidential online therapy across Ontario. Many clients prefer online sessions because it saves travel time, reduces sensory and social stress, and allows you to meet from the comfort of your own space. All you need is a private place and an internet connection.
Therapy can be a space where you finally stop masking and start understanding yourself. If you’re ready to explore whether that feels like the right fit, book a free 20-minute Meet-and-Greet session.
