I believe that meaningful change is possible within the therapy process. I believe that you already possess everything that you need within yourself, and with intentional effort, focus, and compassionate support, you can successfully experience change and meet your goals. Therapy isn’t an easy fix for any problem. There’s work to be done to heal, grow, or change, and that work needs to be done by you… but that doesn’t mean you need to do it alone.

Let's face it: being a human is tough right now. Whether you're struggling with the pandemic, mental illness, loss, relationship problems, or something else, it can be hard to accept what you're feeling, and even harder to accept that those feelings are probably normal reactions to strange circumstances. I strive to provide a safe space for you to dive deep within yourself and your healing in order to cultivate a level of self-compassion that will guide you through challenges. I want to explore with you how your strengths and resilience, as well as your pain and trauma, make up your life story.

People with ADHD can often feel alone, different, and overwhelmed, and may develop subsequent mental health issues. This is especially true for girls and women with ADHD, who present with unique symptoms that are not well understood by teachers, caretakers, or medical professionals. Through a process of practicing executive functioning skills, finding more balance, and using mindfulness and self-compassion techniques, you can begin to better understand and accept yourself for who you are, lessening those sensations of loneliness and overwhelm.

In any relationship, conflicts are bound to come up at some point. Issues that may have been able to be swept under the rug before the pandemic are now much less likely to be hidden away. Often, conflict is a result of needs going unmet. Learning how to understand your partner's needs is the first step toward meeting them, and their needs may be totally different than yours. We are all raised differently and expect our needs to be met in different ways, and that's okay! Therapy can be helpful in learning to accept your partner's differences, and recognizing and acknowledging their efforts to understand yours.
