You’re probably here because you’ve spent years feeling like your brain is frustratingly different from everyone else’s.
Maybe you’ve recently discovered you’re neurodiverse (ADHD, autism, or both). Or perhaps you’ve known for a while but you still struggle with how it impacts your life, health, mindset, and relationships.
You’re tired of feeling misunderstood when you try to explain how you experience the world, and exhausted from the effort of trying to fit into neurotypical expectations.
Communication feels like speaking a different language sometimes. What seems obvious to you isn’t to your partner; or what everyone else finds easy feels impossibly complex to you.
Trying to create healthy habits, improve your mindset, and create routines that boost your energy and mood sounds like a lovely luxury you somehow don’t have access to.
You want to stop feeling like your relationships are constantly strained by misunderstandings, overwhelm, or your different needs around structure, stimulation, or emotional processing.
You want to shift your mindset and improve your health and wellbeing by cultivating healthy routines and habits.
You know that if you could just find strategies that work for YOUR unique brain – not the one-size-fits-all advice that’s never quite worked – you could finally experience the connections, joy, and health you’ve been craving.
You’re looking for someone who understands. Someone who won’t pathologize your differences but will instead help you leverage your unique strengths while effectively navigating the challenges.
Hey, I’m Jenna, a registered provisional psychologist.
I help people who are neurodiverse better understand themselves so they can cultivate more fulfilling relationships and a happier, healthier life.
I got into this work because I’m neurodiverse myself and you could say I took special interest in exploring how to navigate a later-in-life diagnosis in a neurotypical world.
When I found out I was neurodiverse, suddenly it all made sense and – at the same time – everything felt overwhelming.
I knew I needed to figure out how to be me in a world full of people who had the potential to misunderstand me. How to embrace my differences to create more joy and wellbeing in my life.
So I did what I do best: I dove into the research and resources and explored how I could help myself and my clients feel more confident, comfortable, and capable as a neurodiverse person living in a neurotypical world.
My Approach
I specialize in working with people who are neurodiverse (those with ADHD and autism) who want to better understand their unique brains and build more fulfilling relationships and a healthier, happier life.
I intentionally create a space where your neurodiversity is recognized not as something to fix, but as a fundamental part of what makes you uniquely you. Together, we’ll discover how your brain works best and develop personalized strategies that play to your strengths.
Who I Work With
My practice is open to individuals as well as couples and partners from diverse backgrounds and relationship structures, including:
- Neurodiverse people seeking to better understand themselves and navigate a neurotypical world
- Partners in mixed neurotype relationships where one or both partners are neurodiverse
- Individuals and partners in all relationship structures including monogamous, consensual non-monogamous, polyamorous, and open relationships
- LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and relationships of all configurations
I’m sex-positive and kink-affirming. My goal is to create a judgment-free zone where all aspects of your sexuality, gender, identity, and relationships can be explored with respect and understanding.
What We’ll Accomplish Together
In our work together, you can expect to:
- Gain deeper self-awareness about how your unique brain processes information and emotions
- Develop communication strategies that bridge neurotype differences
- Build confidence in social situations and relationships
- Cultivate self-compassion and minimize the impact of negative self-talk
- Reduce anxiety in relationships and daily interactions
- Create practical solutions for executive functioning challenges
- Design relationships and a sense of wellbeing that honours your authentic needs and boundaries
My Therapeutic Toolkit
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I draw from several evidence-based approaches tailored to your specific needs:
- Attachment Theory to understand your relationship patterns and build secure connections
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to develop psychological flexibility and align your actions with your values
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to create practical, actionable steps toward your goals
- And more … I’m constantly learning, growing, and evolving my approach to better support you
My Promise to You
My practice is built on a strengths-based foundation where your goals drive our therapeutic journey. I promise to provide:
- A genuine, authentic therapeutic relationship
- Empathetic understanding without judgment
- Collaborative problem-solving that honors your expertise about your own life
- Practical tools you can implement right away
- A compassionate space to explore challenges and celebrate successes
My goal is to help you build simple skills that work with your neurodiversity, not against it, so you can develop meaningful relationships and a joy-filled life that feels genuinely yours.
