Your brain isn’t trying to be dramatic — it’s trying to protect you.

Triggers pull your survival system online, even when you’re safe. Healing is learning to remind your brain: this moment is different.

Start with your feelings, not your partner’s faults.

It lowers defensiveness and keeps communication grounded instead of critical.

Do any of these hit home?

Rejection sensitivity is far more common than people think — especially for folks with trauma histories or ADHD.

You’re not "too much." Your feelings make sense.

Not all stress feels the same — and not all stress needs the same response.

Short-term stress can pass.
Frequent stress can exhaust us.
Ongoing stress can slowly change how we feel, think, and cope.

Awareness comes before change.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Meet the therapist 👋 I’m Jason, a Registered Psychotherapist working with couples, children, and adults who feel stuck in emotional or relational patterns — whether that looks like repeated conflict, shutdown, overwhelm, ADHD-related challenges, or the impact of trauma.

My approach focuses on understanding what’s happening underneath the surface — not blame, quick fixes, or taking sides.

I offer in-person sessions in Chatham and virtual sessions across Ontario, with a free 15-minute consultation to help you decide if this feels like the right fit.

Couples counselling isn’t only for relationships in crisis.

Many couples seek support when they feel stuck — repeating the same patterns, avoiding hard conversations, or feeling more like roommates than partners.

Counselling can help create space to understand what’s happening underneath the surface and find a way forward together.

In relationships, we often repeat familiar emotional patterns — even when they hurt.

This is one of the most common things couples come to therapy for:
“Why do we keep ending up here?”

Change begins with noticing the pattern, not blaming the person.

ADHD isn’t just about focus.

For many people, ADHD shows up in emotional regulation, overthinking, racing thoughts, impulsivity, time management struggles, sensitivity to rejection, and difficulty with transitions — not just attention.

When ADHD goes unrecognized or misunderstood, people are often labelled as lazy, uncaring, or not trying hard enough.
Over time, that misunderstanding can take a real toll on self-esteem, relationships, and mental health.

Understanding ADHD helps shift the conversation from blame to compassion, regulation, and support — especially in couples and families.

Today marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation where we honour the survivors of Residential Schools and remember the children who never got to go home. Today and everyday we must reflect on the colonial legacy in our country and communities and commit to educating ourselves, and amplifying indigenous voices.

We talk a lot about generational trauma — and it’s real. Patterns of pain and survival can ripple through families, shaping the way love is given, withheld, or misunderstood.

But what we don’t talk about enough is this: healing is just as contagious. Love is just as generational. The way we learn to pause, to regulate, to apologize, to tell the truth in kindness — all of that is inheritance too.

Every time we choose compassion over control, repair over rupture, presence over distraction, we aren’t just shifting our own story — we’re altering the story our children will carry forward.

Trauma may echo through generations, but so can wisdom. So can resilience. So can love that feels safe and steady.

We are not only breaking cycles — we are building new ones. And that is a legacy worth passing on. ❤️
