I’m open to your requests and feedback as well, as I continue adding to this list. In working with neurodivergent clients, I offer understanding and guidance in identifying sensory needs, discovering more self-compassion, and finding deep joy in authenticity.
Office accessibility
My office space is located on the main floor of a small office building in the Ritchie neighbourhood. There’s lots of free parking on the street, and a short distance from the bus stop on Whyte Avenue. The office space is wheelchair accessible, but unfortunately the washroom is not. The nearest accessible bathroom is at Ace Coffee, one block away. The office is scent-reduced, and the lights, seating, and pace of sessions can be easily modified. Seating is available in the waiting room and office that works well for all body sizes. Please let me know if you have access needs or preferences that aren’t included here.
