Born and raised in New Brunswick, I worked internationally as a molecular biologist before turning to work more aligned with my values, completing a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology in 2024.As a late-identified autistic ADHDer, I know what it’s like to look back at life through a new lens, and to navigate a world that wasn’t built for your nervous system. That experience shapes how I listen and what I notice during the therapy hour.

Areas of Focus

Many of the people I work with have spent years adapting themselves to meet demands that don't match who they are, leaving them feeling burned out, self-critical, or disconnected from their own needs.This is especially common in people who discover later in life that they are autistic, have ADHD, or are neurodivergent in some other way.I work with you to make sense of a late discovery and what it means for how you’ve lived, and how you want to live. This can include understanding patterns of masking and how they have shaped you, burnout recognition and recovery, and building practical strategies around attention, motivation, and planning.Common areas of focus for therapy also include issues that often develop alongside unidentified neurodivergence, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and identity uncertainty.

Approach to Therapy

In therapy, my aim is to support you with kindness, honesty and understanding, so that you can learn more about yourself and make changes that fit who you actually are.For late-identified neurodivergent adults, this often involves making sense of how your nervous system works, distinguishing what is intrinsic to your neurodivergence from what has developed over the years because of it, and identifying practical ways to make daily life more workable.I draw on evidence-based approaches that are inherently affirming of neurodivergence, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment theory. I also work flexibly and collaboratively to identify early on in therapy what actually helps you.
