Where ADHD & neurodivergent brains get the support they actually need.
Welcome to Press Pause
From Overwhelm …
To Ease.
Because sticky-notes and 17 reminders just don’t cut it!
Life feels different when your brain doesn’t run on “typical” settings. Tasks can pile up, relationships start to feel messy, and emotional highs and lows can leave you feeling exhausted!
You’ve tried productivity tips, Instagram hacks, advice from well-meaning friends, and even self-help books — but nothing seems to stick!
At Press Pause, I help ADHD and neurodivergent adults and couples find strategies that respect your brain’s natural wiring. Together, we challenge beliefs that are keeping you stuck, tools and create systems that reduce overwhelm, strengthen relationships, and let you feel more in control — without loosing your sparkle.
All services (except for Walk & Talk therapy) take place online so you can connect with me virtually from anywhere in Ontario or Quebec!
You probably feel like you’re always JUST keeping your head out of water or like no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to show up as your best self for your family, relationships, work, or even yourself.
You might feel hopeless and paralyzed by anxiety and shame.
So many ADHD, Autistic burnout, and anxiety “tips & tricks” out there miss the mark and are just Band-Aid solutions.
Imagine this instead:
You’re out of survival mode so you can ACTUALLY be productive and less overwhelmed (without sacrificing that sparkle that makes you, YOU!).
You’re able to be PRESENT and finally enjoy time spent with your loved ones instead of trapped in your endless racing thoughts.
Daily life feels manageable - no more paralysis that leaves you feeling lazy and ashamed!
You’ve built self-trust - You know that you can and WILL accomplish what you set your mind to.
I can help you get out of the all-or-nothing roller coaster and into a sustainable rhythm.
Working with me goes beyond band-aid productivity hacks that only last 2 days until they fade into the background. Together we’ll build sustainable strategies and systems that work WITH your unique brain to help you live in alignment with the life you are designed for.
I know how hard you’ve been working … It’s time to take a breath.
