How My Passion Developed

I’ve been told I’m “too sensitive” pretty much my whole life. Things that didn’t seem to bother others always impacted me much more. Despite trying to “toughen up” nothing seemed to make me less sensitive, I just got better at hiding it. One day I came across the concept of Highly-Sensitive Persons (HSPs) by Dr. Elaine Aron and things just clicked.

On top of that, a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis (Inattentive Presentation) helped me to better understand why things have always felt like they were on “hard mode”. As a child of the 80s who was a die-hard people pleaser, I flew under the radar and learned to mask. I developed a wicked case of perfectionism. Because of this, most people around me had no clue just how much I was struggling.

Now I am honoured to offer professional Counselling & Coaching to fellow adults with ADHD & HSP

I find a sense of fulfillment in walking alongside others in their journey. I don’t expect that any of our journeys will look the same, but I deeply value the importance of having someone to journey alongside - wherever the road may lead.

Whether you’re in Vancouver or Ottawa, I am here to support you. I work exclusively via telehealth (online) which means I am able to serve folks in remote and rural areas too.
