Hey there! I'm glad you're here- seeking help for yourself! Facing emotions and harsh realities can be incredibly difficult to navigate alone. It can also be incredibly hard to find the strength and will to seek help. On top of that, finding the right therapist for YOU, can be quite tricky. You have to truly trust and connect with the person you are going to allow yourself to be vulnerable to, in order to effectively grow and heal. Right now, I'm a stranger to you, and that's probably scary! If you remember nothing else from this lengthy profile, please remember that all therapists are just humans, too. No better or worse.

Is this you?: The constant nagging voice of “Am I good enough?” is ever present. Feeling pulled to please everyone, you are worn down. From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it together! On the inside, you’re stressed, doubting yourself, and wondering if you can feel true joy again. You don’t know where to begin to change things, so you don’t do anything. Questioning if you even deserve to feel better, you are left feeling stuck and alone in this cave of overwhelm, while life keeps going on without you.

Have you been diagnosed with/believe you have ADHD? Are you overwhelmed by daily tasks? Do you often feel that you are not good enough or that other people don't value and respect you? Do you struggle to complete tasks? Are you unorganized or messy? Is it difficult to stay focused/concentrate everyday? Are you impulsive? Do you find yourself over/under reacting emotionally? Is it difficult to make friends or to even want to? If so, you are not alone. It's likely that the sense of "something missing" you feel comes from not understanding your ADHD. Others with these issues benefit from therapy everyday. Please let me help.
