FOR Adult with Autism & ADHD
Adult Autism and ADHD Therapy
For many neurodivergent adults, life has been shaped by years of trying to fit in, meet expectations and make sense of experiences that never seemed to fit the explanations we were given. Neuro-affirming therapy offers an opportunity to step away from self-criticism and begin understanding yourself through a lens anchored in self-compassion, authenticity and neurodiversity.

How Michelle Approaches the Work
Michelle’s work is grounded in a relational, trauma-informed, and evidence-informed approach to therapy. Her perspective is shaped by several complementary theoretical foundations that help make sense of the complexity of human experience, relationships, and change.
Drawing from Family Systems Theory, Michelle understands that individuals do not exist in isolation. Our experiences, behaviours, and challenges are shaped by the relationships, roles, and patterns that develop within families, partnerships, workplaces, and broader systems.
Influenced by Feminist Theory, her work considers the impact of social, cultural, and systemic influences on our lives, including how power, identity, privilege, oppression, and societal expectations shape our experiences and relationships.
Adlerian Psychology contributes a strengths-based perspective focused on belonging, purpose, encouragement, and the ways early experiences influence our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us.
Drawing from Psychodynamic Theory, Michelle explores the deeper patterns that shape how we think, feel, and relate to others, recognizing that past experiences and unconscious processes often continue to influence present-day challenges.
Existential Theory informs her work through its focus on meaning, authenticity, choice, responsibility, connection, and the questions that arise as we navigate life’s uncertainties and transitions.
This foundation is complemented by training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), restorative approaches to intimate partner violence, and sex therapy. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, Michelle integrates these approaches thoughtfully and collaboratively, tailoring therapy to the unique needs, goals, and experiences of each individual and couple.
At the heart of this work is a commitment to helping clients deepen self-understanding, strengthen relationships, process difficult experiences, and create lives that feel more connected, meaningful, and aligned with what matters most.
