Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy for Adults in Vancouver

Therapy should help you understand how your mind works, not ask you to hide it. I provide respectful, evidence-informed therapy for adults navigating ADHD, autistic traits, OCD, anxiety, burnout, emotional regulation and relationship difficulties.

SUPPORT THAT FITS THE PERSON
Neurodiversity-affirming therapy recognizes that differences in attention, sensory processing, communication and executive functioning are part of a person’s lived experience. The goal is not to make someone appear “more typical.” We work together to reduce distress, build workable strategies and make daily life more sustainable.

Depending on your needs, therapy may draw on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), DBT-informed skills, and exposure and response prevention (ERP) for OCD. Treatment is adapted collaboratively rather than applied as a one-size-fits-all program.

AREAS WE MAY WORK ON
• Task initiation, planning and follow-through
• Overwhelm, burnout and emotional regulation
• Intrusive thoughts, compulsions and uncertainty
• Masking, self-understanding and late-recognized neurodivergence
• Communication, intimacy and relationship patterns
• Practical accommodations and sustainable routines

SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT
I provide comprehensive adult ADHD assessment, comprehensive adult mental health assessment and focused screening for ADHD, OCD and autism. Each screening costs $450 and includes verbal feedback, practical recommendations and a 1–2-page screening summary. Screening does not provide a formal diagnosis or diagnostic report. Autism screening is not a comprehensive autism diagnostic assessment and does not provide a formal autism diagnosis or written diagnostic report.

A CLEAR STARTING POINT
Choose individual therapy, screening or a comprehensive assessment. If you are unsure where to begin, contact me and we can clarify the most appropriate next step.
