About Me

REGISTERED CLINICAL COUNSELLOR

Hi, I’m Autumn — a late-identified neurodivergent therapist (ADHD & AuDHD) and Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #19849).​

​

I support neurodivergent adults and families with a strength-based, collaborative approach that respects your creativity, sensitivities, and the way your brain actually works. Together, we notice what’s already working, honor your interests and sensory needs, and build practical strategies that fit your life rather than forcing you to mask.​

​

Sessions are sensory-aware, collaborative, and can include nature-based therapy to help you feel more grounded and connected to the world around you. You never have to hide your stims, passions, or needs here — all of you is welcome.

SUPPORTING YOUR CONNECTIONS

Nature-Based Counselling

Nature is all around us, even in urban environments. Why not be guided through your therapeutic healing journey while building connections to the environment around you? These connections will be facilitated with confidentiality, privacy and therapeutic containment in mind.

 

Have your counselling sessions in a local park or nearby trail and get the benefits of therapeutic guidance during your sessions from your counsellor and additional grounding and calm from the presence of nature.

 

Nature-based counselling can also be beneficial in an indoor or virtual environment.

Online Counselling & Telehealth

It can be difficult to find time for the commute to appointments.  Or you may choose to have an outdoor session in your location while we chat by phone. If that is the case, experience the therapeutic benefits of a registered clinical counsellor via telephone or video conferencing options. Sessions can still be tailored to include art or other expressive therapy as needed.

​

​

Expressive Therapy

By incorporating art and other expressive therapy options in the therapeutic setting, you have the opportunity to process, build resilience, and navigate your own emotions. This puts less pressure on finding the right words in the moment, allowing more ability to process as needed, when needed.

Parents & Caregivers

Connect for additional support either through individual counselling sessions or sessions focusing on processing questioning family planning/parenting, fertilization, gestation, adoption, or foster care. 

​

Sessions could also focus on parenting while being neurodivergent, parenting at different ages, parenting during different developmental periods and ethical/environmental/social concerns while parenting.

Mental Health Workers

Working as an outreach worker, peer support worker or other social housing support roles can be a very complex role.  Mixed in with wanting to provide support likely is overwhelm, stress and sometimes even trauma.  On top of that can be the complication of not wanting to "feel like the client/resident" and having difficulty navigating when you might need someone additional to talk to.
