Do you find yourself struggling to connect with others? Do you find that anxiety, fear of judgement from others or symptoms of ADHD prevents you from meeting new people, creating deeper connections with acquaintances, finding a romantic partner, speaking your mind or attending social events altogether? Is it hard to show your real self in social situations or at work, so you "mask" or hide that part of yourself, because you find it difficult to accept who you are and criticize yourself often? Well, this doesn't have to be your experience forever.

I am here to help someone who is thinking about making a change, whether they’re feeling stuck in the past or overwhelmed by something in the present. They may not know exactly what they need, but they’re open to exploring what’s not working and why. They could even be unsure or skeptical about therapy itself, but feel like they need to do "something". They’re looking for help that’s grounded in research, led by a professional who can help them clarify their goals, understand what’s getting in the way, and offer support and structure as they work toward something better.

Stories have always fascinated me. They have the power to move us emotionally, to educate and instruct, to entertain us, and to cultivate true compassion and empathy through the act of sharing a story with another. They are also a powerful vehicle for how we perceive, interpret, define and live our lives, yet sometimes it can be easy to forget that we can be the authors of our story, not just a character proceeding along some previously determined narrative.
