ADHD
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulsivity, and self-regulation. Common symptoms include difficulty maintaining attention, challenges with organization, time management struggles, and, in some cases, hyperactivity. While often identified in childhood, ADHD can persist into adolescence and adulthood, impacting various aspects of life, including academics, relationships, and emotional well-being.
The good news is that with the right guidance and support, individuals with ADHD can develop the tools they need to succeed. I provide resources and evidence-based strategies to help you or your loved one improve executive function skills, enhance focus, and build confidence for long-term success.

Addiction
Addiction and Its Impact on Families
Addiction is a complex challenge that doesn’t only affect the individual—it can deeply impact the entire family. It often creates emotional strain, disrupts communication, and fosters feelings of guilt, shame, and helplessness among loved ones.
Families may struggle to balance their support for the person facing addiction with their own emotional well-being, which can lead to stress and fractured relationships.
By understanding the ways addiction influences family dynamics and seeking support, families can navigate these challenges together, fostering resilience, healing, and healthier relationships.
In a talk for the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors, I explored the profound ways addiction affects families. Addiction doesn’t just impact the individual—it ripples through relationships, creating emotional and practical challenges for loved ones. In this video, I offer insights into how addiction shapes family dynamics and share practical suggestions to help you support someone you care about who is facing addiction-related challenges.
Exploring Therapy Approaches
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and the approach that works best for you depends on your unique needs and goals. From evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to specialized methods like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), each modality offers a different pathway to healing and growth.
In our modalities blog, we explore some of the most effective therapy approaches, breaking down how they work and what they can help with. Whether you’re curious about Adlerian Therapy’s focus on personal growth and relationships or EMDR’s innovative way of processing trauma, these articles are here to guide you in understanding the tools therapists use to support well-being.
