Am I the right counselor for you?
Do you feel like you know what to do but struggle to actually do it? Do you struggle with self-deprecating thoughts like "I am Lazy" or "I am not good enough"? Do you find yourself stuck in a thought spiral that makes you feel anxious and not productive? The executive functioning struggles of ADHD and the trap of the anxious mind can feel like a prison. ADHD and anxiety left untreated can have debilitating effects on your self-esteem, relationships, and work. It doesnt have to be this hard. In our work together, we can repair your self-image and you will learn strategies to manage your symptoms.
I am a licensed therapist (LCPC), a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), and hold an ADHD-CCSP certification. I specialize in providing individual therapy to adults with anxiety, OCD, and ADHD. All of that alphabet soup aside, we will creatively partner together to craft a value-driven life that you can feel proud of.
Finding the right fit with a counselor matters. It makes all the difference. My clients describe me as down-to-earth, patient, and a good listener. It is of the utmost importance to feel supported and understood by your therapist; that you feel you can talk about everything and anything that you need or want to without fear of judgment. It may be helpful for you to know that I have also been the client in the therapeutic relationship and I understand the courage it takes to be vulnerable with another person. We will go at your pace in our work together so that the process is just as impactful as the destination.
