Meet our ADHD Specialists

My journey into mental health care developed through my nursing and Nurse Practitioner training, where I consistently gravitated toward patients whose challenges were complex, overlapping, and often misunderstood. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Master of Nursing, followed by additional certification in Mental Health and Addictions through the University of Toronto. Through clinical practice, I saw how frequently ADHD went unrecognized — particularly in adolescents and adults — and how significantly it affected functioning, emotional well-being, and self-confidence. That gap in care inspired me to pursue ADHD-specific training and become a CADDRA-certified provider. I wanted to offer thoughtful, evidence-informed ADHD care that goes beyond symptom checklists and truly supports the functioning and quality of life for my clients.

My philosophy is that ADHD care should always be collaborative, individualized, and grounded in understanding the whole person so that a truly comprehensive approach can be implanted, giving the client the best chance for a sustainable and successful outcome. No two people experience ADHD in the exact same way, so I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. I focus on careful assessment, clear education, and shared decision-making. Treatment plans consider symptoms, goals, lived experience, emotional health, and how ADHD impacts daily life — not just productivity. When medication is part of care, I take a thoughtful and monitored approach, with ongoing adjustments as needed. Equally important, I help clients understand ADHD so they can build practical, strengths-based strategies that empower them to function more confidently and sustainably in their everyday lives.

Telepsychiatry has dramatically improved access to ADHD care, particularly for individuals who face long wait times, geographic barriers, or difficulty attending in-person appointments. Many people with ADHD also struggle with scheduling, transportation, or taking time off work — virtual care helps reduce those barriers and provides them with much needed accessibility to services that can support their functioning. It allows clients to receive care from a familiar, comfortable environment, which can improve openness and engagement. Telepsychiatry also makes it easier to maintain continuity of care through follow-ups and treatment adjustments. When delivered thoughtfully, virtual ADHD care can be just as thorough, personalized, and effective as in-person care — while being more accessible, flexible, and responsive to clients’ real-life needs. I think these are all positives for these clients who often significantly benefit from these supports.

I hope patients leave their first session with me feeling understood and reassured. Many people come into ADHD care feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or self-critical. My goal is for them to feel heard, validated, and clearer about what’s going on — not judged or rushed. I want them to feel as though I truly took the time to try and understand their experience so that I can provide my best advice on how they may be best supported. I want clients to feel that there’s a thoughtful plan in place and that they’re not navigating this alone. Even if everything isn’t resolved in one appointment, feeling informed, supported, and hopeful can make a meaningful difference moving forward in ADHD care.

As we begin care together through FasTreat, I want patients to know that this is a collaborative and judgment-free space. You don’t need to have the right words, the right questions, or everything figured out before reaching out. We’re happy to help explore and figure these things out with you as we go. ADHD care is a process, and it’s okay to take it step by step. My role is to guide, educate, and support you as we work together toward a plan that feels manageable and aligned with your goals. I’m committed to providing thoughtful, evidence-informed care that prioritizes your well-being and quality of life. And I always strive to ensure the plans we implement aren’t temporary, band-aid solutions or quick fixes, but sustainable supports that you can lean on long-term.

ADHD support means helping people understand how their brain works and giving them the tools, treatment, and confidence to thrive in a way that fits their life and supports them in achieving their goals.
