ADHD wears a lot of faces. Bouncing-off-the-walls energy for some, a quiet inner restlessness for others, and often something that gets mistaken for anxiety, laziness or burnout.
“Later” never quite arrives, then a deadline blindsides you out of nowhere. It's called time blindness, and it's wiring, not carelessness.
You know exactly what to do and still can't make yourself begin. That's ADHD paralysis: executive dysfunction, not laziness.
Criticism or rejection can land like a physical punch. Clinicians call it rejection sensitivity (RSD), and it's exhausting.
The thoughts you outran all day finally catch up the moment your head hits the pillow.
Holding it together in public burns more energy than anyone around you can see, and it leads straight to burnout.
You never stopped trying. You were missing support built for how your brain actually works.
It's not that therapists don't care. ADHD and neurodivergence just aren't a required part of most clinical programs. So if your therapist wasn't trained in it, you end up filling that gap yourself. Here you don't — ADHD is what I trained specifically in, and it's who I work with every day.
I was diagnosed as an adult, after years of working hard and still falling short of what I knew I was capable of.
I trained as a therapist and kept meeting people who'd sat through years of therapy that was never really built for an ADHD brain. I built my practice around that gap. ADHD is who I work with every day.
Some sessions are practical: what got stuck this week and what to change. Others go underneath it, at the frustration, the shame, or just making sense of how your ADHD actually works. Most are some of both.

Dedicated ADHD training, taught by faculty including Russell Barkley, Edward Hallowell, Ari Tuckman, Sharon Saline and Stephanie Sarkis, and a caseload of ADHD brains, so the starting assumptions are right from session one.
CBT, ACT and DBT skills applied to your actual week, so you leave with something to try, not just something to think about.
Most people meet weekly, same time, for steady accountability on time management, follow-through and goals, with reminders that actually land.
Anxiety, low mood and burnout travel with it more often than not, and they're usually tangled up in the ADHD rather than sitting beside it. We work on them together, so you don't need a separate therapist for the anxiety, the burnout, or the shame.
See what I help withI draw on the approaches with the most published evidence for ADHD, with executive-function support running through all of it, then shape the plan around how your brain actually works and around your goals.

Teaches hands-on skills for the moments emotions and impulses hit full volume. In a randomized trial, DBT skills eased ADHD symptoms and emotion regulation.
Multicentre randomized controlled trial · BMC Psychiatry, 2022Builds practical systems for planning, starting tasks and quieting “I always fail” thinking. It's the most-tested talk therapy for adult ADHD, including one trial in JAMA.
Dozens of trials · Knouse 2017 · Safren 2010 (JAMA)Helps you stop fighting your brain and move toward what matters, even on low-focus days. Early trials link it to more self-acceptance, less self-criticism.
Emerging clinical-trial evidenceNo directories, no intake marathon. One short call, then a first session if it feels right.
Talk through what's going on and what you're hoping for, and ask anything you want.
If we both feel it's a good fit, we'll pick a time and begin.
Young adults and teens across Ontario.
A late realization brings relief and grief in the same breath. This is a place to make sense of it.
Capable, struggling, and starting to believe otherwise. Therapy gives them somewhere to work it out.
Sessions with a Registered Psychotherapist are often reimbursable through Canadian extended health plans. You get a proper receipt with the right credentials; you submit it and get money back. Coverage varies by plan, so I'll help you check before you book.
See how coverage works* Sessions are $180 for 50 minutes, with no HST added. Coverage depends on your specific plan. I practise as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying); many extended health plans reimburse Registered Psychotherapist sessions, though not all do. Many plans cover some designations but not others, and annual limits vary (commonly anywhere from a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars per year). I'll help you figure out what's covered before your first session.
Insight and practical strategy in the same room, week after week, because understanding why you freeze doesn't get the task started on its own.
The clinical work: shame, self-criticism, anxiety, low mood, relationships, identity, and the grief that can follow a late realization.
The practical work: ADHD-adapted strategies for time and task management, starting things, following through, and setting goals that survive contact with a real week.
And it's weekly. Most people meet once a week. Each session picks up what happened since the last one, adjusts what didn't hold, and sets the next step, so accountability is in the calendar rather than in good intentions.
Works at the neurochemical level on focus and impulse control, and has strong evidence for core ADHD symptoms.
