Dr. Alicia writing notes

Struggling with ADHD as an adult?I offer evidence-based naturopathic support so you can embrace your unique (and awesome!) brain—and take back control of your life!

Dealing with ADHD can feel beyond frustrating, like trying to put together an Ikea bookshelf with instructions in the wrong language and half of the steps missing! Despite your best efforts, you’re left feeling overwhelmed and frustrated that the seemingly simple end goal feels forever out of reach. Your self-esteem takes an unfair hit, but you’re not the problem, the instruction manual is the problem.

What if I told you that it’s possible to create an instruction manual aligned with your uniquely awesome brain? To implement strategies not just to improve focus, but to to reduce the chronic overwhelm, energy fluctuations, and the emotional rollercoaster. Whether you have ADHD or other mental health concerns, it’s time to finally find balance in the chaos and unlock your full potential!

Hi I'm Dr. Alicia .

If you have ADHD, you've probably experienced the wonders and challenges of an interest-driven nervous system. I had already loved working with mental health, but after getting diagnosed with ADHD in my late 20s, I became obsessed with learning absolutely everything there is to know about the condition that explains so much of my life. It’s my mission to put this knowledge to good use and provide an option for ADHD management that goes beyond medication and advice from TikTok. Whether or not you're taking medication, it’s only one tool and we have access to an entire hardware store to build your perfect toolbox.

My experience working in research throughout my Kinesiology undergrad, and my wide scope of practice as a Naturopathic Doctor gives me the opportunity to bring a unique, evidence-based approach to building your custom toolbox. Naturopathic medical school provided the knowledge base of a general practitioner, so I am still confident in navigating a wide variety of health concerns. Mental health and ADHD are just where my passion lies!

I’ve never liked the intimidating doctor’s office vibe myself, so I do my best to provide a safe, relaxed, space where you can feel comfortable opening up and confident that your health plan is in alignment with what you’re looking for. Outside of being an ND, I love lifting weights, playing the drums, going to pop-punk concerts, and hanging with my furry friend Dobby!

Frequently Asked Questions

What age range do you work with?
At this time, I am accepting new patients who are 12 and up.
Are your services covered under insurance?
Naturopathic services are not OHIP covered, but most extended healthcare plans do cover naturopathy. It may be listed under naturopathy, naturopathic doctor, or naturopath depending on your plan. You will receive a receipt after each appointment to submit to your insurance company.
Can you provide a medical ADHD diagnosis?
Although I am well-versed in the diagnostic process, I can only provide a naturopathic diagnosis. If you require a medical diagnosis, I can provide resources and/or help to facilitate the process with your family doctor. You also do not require a diagnosis to work with me, but I will do my best to help you access one if it is important to you!
Are you able to help with concerns other than ADHD and mental health?
Absolutely! I'm most passionate about working with ADHD and mental health, but my education covered a wide variety of health concerns that I am comfortable helping patients navigate. Most of the patients I work with, have several health concerns that we work on besides ADHD. If you have questions about my experience in working with a specific concern, I'd be happy to discuss this in a free discovery call.
