Are you struggling with traits of ADHD/Neurodivergence and Giftedness and seeking effective strategies to regain control and lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life? Do you struggle to escape self-criticism and self-judgements of not living up to your potential? Have you been stuck in cycles of anxiety and depression, unhelpful thoughts, or struggling with the complexities of life and now desire the tools and support to break free and progress toward your aspirations? We can learn to work on our thought patterns and process the complex emotions we experience in a supportive environment.
I aim to provide clients with new self-understanding and practical strategies to promote better relational dynamics, improved mood regulation and thought patterns. We will work toward reducing the challenges and barriers to improved well-being. I'm here to guide you through the stumbling blocks to create a foundation for you to build a fulfilling life.
Unlock your potential for change in therapy, working toward the change you seek in a compassionate, non-judgmental space. Within our therapeutic alliance, you can learn to embrace self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-compassion—a process of Becoming Yourself. Contact me now to book your FREE 20-minute consultation and explore if I can assist you!
