Individual Therapy for Adults
I provide individual therapy for adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, OCD, depression, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, intrusive thoughts, rumination, self-doubt, and difficulty setting boundaries.
You do not need to know exactly what is wrong or have a diagnosis before reaching out. You may simply know that you feel overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted by your thoughts, or tired of repeating patterns that no longer feel helpful.
Therapy can offer a place to better understand what is happening, respond to yourself with greater compassion, and find practical ways of moving forward.
In-person therapy in London, Ontario, and virtual or phone sessions across Ontario.
Areas I Can Support You With
Therapy can be tailored to the concerns, patterns, and goals that matter most to you. You may relate strongly to one area below, or notice that several of them overlap.
ADHD and Executive Functioning
You may struggle with task initiation, procrastination, time management, organization, follow-through, emotional regulation, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities. Therapy can help you better understand how ADHD affects you, reduce shame and self-criticism, and develop strategies that feel realistic for your life.
Self-Esteem, Boundaries, and People-Pleasing
You may doubt yourself, struggle to say no, overexplain your decisions, worry about disappointing others, or hold yourself to demanding standards. Therapy can help you understand these patterns, strengthen your sense of self, and practice setting boundaries with less guilt and second-guessing.
Depression and Low Motivation
You may feel tired, disconnected, unmotivated, or unsure how to move forward. Everyday tasks may feel harder than they seem like they should, and you may find yourself withdrawing from people, routines, or activities that once mattered to you. Therapy can help you understand what is weighing on you and take manageable steps toward feeling more engaged.
Anxiety, OCD, and Intrusive Thoughts
You may feel caught in overthinking, rumination, sticky thoughts, reassurance-seeking, checking, avoidance, worst-case scenarios, or the need to completely certain before moving forward. Therapy can help you respond differently to anxiety and uncertainty and reduce the hold these patterns have on your life.
What Therapy May Include
Therapy is tailored to your needs, goals, and pace. Depending on what brings you in, our work may include understanding patterns, building practical skills, exploring difficult thoughts and emotions, and finding new ways to respond to yourself and your experiences.
Understanding Patterns
We may explore what keeps certain thoughts, emotions, behaviours, or relationship patterns going, and how these patterns may have developed over time.
Building Practical Tools
We can work on strategies for managing anxiety, improving follow-through, responding to intrusive thoughts, setting boundaries, and reducing self-criticism.
Creating Meaningful Change
Therapy can help you make choices that feel more connected to your values, needs, and goals, rather than being driven only by fear, guilt, pressure, or avoidance.
Approaches I May Draw From
Depending on your needs and goals, I may draw from Internal Family Systems therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure and response prevention, mindfulness, and other evidence-informed approaches.
My work is also trauma-informed, strengths-based, and neurodiversity-affirming.
