Therapy for ADHD Women, Overwhelmed Parents & Burnout in Vancouver, BC

Maybe you're an ADHD woman who's been masking for years and finally hit burnout. Or you're a parent whose nervous system is depleted from holding everyone together while parenting neurodivergent children.

I Specialize in:
Parenting Burnout & Overwhelmed Parents
Parenting burnout isn't just tiredness - it's nervous system depletion. When you're parenting ADHD or highly sensitive children, the dysregulation is contagious and your capacity gets depleted faster than you can rebuild it.
I help overwhelmed parents understand what actually rebuilds capacity: nervous system regulation, sensory strategies, and reducing the invisible mental load.
Therapy for parents and families struggling with:
Parenting neurodivergent or highly sensitive children
ADHD, autism, sensory processing differences.
Support that understands nervous system regulation and works with how your child is actually wired.
Burnout, Anxiety and Overwhelm
Managing everyone's schedules, emotions, and needs while your own tank stays empty. The mental load is crushing and the worry won't stop.
Pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood
Anxiety, overwhelm, identity loss, birth trauma, perinatal mood disorders. Support through the tender, exhausting early seasons.
Navigating neurodivergence and major life changes
Understanding your ADHD brain, rebuilding after transitions, reconnecting as partners after becoming parents.
My Approach: Compassion, Clarity, and Collaboration
Compassion means space for all of it: the rage, tears, shame, exhaustion. You don't need to have it together to deserve support.
Clarity helps you see patterns and understand what you and your family actually need to feel safer and steadier.
Collaboration means we build this together. No generic scripts. Trauma-informed, attachment-based tools that fit your real life.
I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and former Occupational Therapist with over a decade supporting neurodivergent families. My work is sensory-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and grounded in nervous system science.

What Parents Say

“For the first time, we feel like we understand each other as parents. Lisa helped us find calmer ways to communicate, even when things feel hard.”
“I didn’t realize how much pressure I was putting on myself to be the ‘perfect mom.’ Working with Lisa helped me trust my instincts again.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The first session is a chance for us to slow down and get a sense of what’s been feeling heavy or unclear. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what’s been helping or not helping so far, and what you hope to get out of therapy. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out — we’ll start with where you are.
-
If you’ve been feeling stuck in stress, self-doubt, or patterns you can’t seem to shift — counselling can help. Many people start therapy when they’re functioning on the outside but struggling internally. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit. Often, therapy is about creating more understanding, balance, and self-compassion — not just “fixing” something that’s wrong.
-
Absolutely. Burnout and anxiety often stem from the same roots — high expectations, self-criticism, and difficulty slowing down. In therapy, we work to understand these patterns, reduce shame, and find small, realistic ways to bring calm, boundaries, and self-acceptance back into your daily rhythm.
-
There’s no set timeline — some people come for a few focused sessions around a specific transition, while others find value in longer-term reflection. We’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy continues to feel helpful and aligned with your goals.
-
Yes. I take a neurodiversity-affirming approach that values all ways of thinking, feeling, and processing. Whether you’re formally diagnosed or simply identifying with traits of ADHD, autism, or high sensitivity, we’ll work together to understand your patterns without pathologizing — helping you find more ease, self-acceptance, and practical strategies that fit your brain.
-
While my practice primarily supports adults and parents, I continue to see a limited number of children and youth — particularly those who are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or navigating anxiety — when parent collaboration is part of the process.
-
Yes. I offer in-person counselling in Vancouver and virtual sessions across British Columbia through a secure, encrypted platform. Many clients find online sessions help them stay consistent and make therapy fit more easily into their busy lives.
