Neurodiversity-affirming therapy embraces neurodiversity, instead of focusing on changing someone, this approach celebrates unique strengths and experiences, while taking into account sensory-related needs. It’s especially helpful for people with ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent traits, providing a supportive space to thrive.

Therapy isn’t always a straight path, it can take time to see progress. If you ever feel like things aren’t clicking, let’s talk about it! Therapy should always be a collaborative process, we may need to adjust our treatment plan, approach, or goals. Together we can tweak our approach or explore new strategies to make sure you’re getting what you need.

In our first session, we’ll take it slow. We’ll chat about what brought you to therapy and what you’re hoping to work on. I may ask questions to best understand your current challenges, goals, and interests. I will explain confidentiality and and its limits.

You don’t have to prepare anything or worry about what to say, but it's okay if you want to and feel more comfortable being prepared for your first session.

Nope! You don’t need a doctor’s referral to book a session with me. Just reach out and we can get started whenever you’re ready.

I require at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a $50 cancellation fee. Providing appropriate notice of cancellation allows me to offer the time to other clients who may need it.

While I’m not available for crisis support between sessions, you can reach out for additional sessions, provide me with updates, or if there's any reminders you might need in-between sessions.

If you find yourself in an emergency, I recommend reaching out to a local mental health triage line or seeking immediate assistance from 000.
