Some common areas of focus:• Sensory & Emotional Load: Understanding and responding to sensory input and strong emotions in ways that work for you.• Attention, Motivation & Planning: Understanding how your attention works and building strategies for starting, sustaining, and completing tasks.• Worry, Overthinking & Mental Pressure: Recognizing when your nervous system is driving your thinking, and finding ways to ease the pressure without dismissing what matters to you.• Relationships & Communication: Setting healthy boundaries and connecting authentically.• Identity & Self-Understanding: Making sense of yourself after discovery and developing a clearer, more integrated sense of self.
I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an inherently neurodiversity-affirming framework. My work is integrative, meaning I draw from different therapies and adapt sessions to what is most helpful to you.Rather than analyzing or trying to “fix” your natural way of being, I focus on building self-understanding and self-compassion alongside practical skills for navigating life in ways that feel authentic to you.This means therapy focuses on:• Self-Understanding: Exploring your experience with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment.• Awareness: Noticing your habits, limits, and strengths so you can make choices that are workable for you.• Practical Strategies: Developing tools to manage overwhelm, reduce self-criticism, and prevent burnout, so daily life feels more manageable.• Authentic Living: Identifying what genuinely matters to you and taking steps toward a life that fits who you actually are.I work collaboratively to develop strategies that respect your natural wiring and support you in moving forward with clarity and self-compassion.Note: I do not provide formal assessments or diagnoses

Born and raised in New Brunswick, I earned a PhD in Experimental Medicine from McGill University in 2008 and worked internationally as a molecular biologist. After returning home in 2017, I transitioned toward work more aligned with my values, initially working in local group homes, and eventually completing a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology at the University of New Brunswick in 2024.Through my own identity as a neurodivergent person, I have first-hand perspective on some of the challenges you may encounter. At the same time, I work carefully to understand your experience on its own terms, without assuming it is the same as mine.Outside of work, I value time with my family, being immersed in nature, and making space for reflection.
