About My Clients
You’re overwhelmed, unsure, and just dam tired from trying to keep up with it all. On the outside, you might appear capable, responsible, successful even, but inside your mind runs faster than you can keep up with. Your mind just can’t slow down, tasks pile up, and no matter how much effort you put in, it never feels like enough. My clients have ADHD and were diagnosed later in life or are just beginning to recognize that ADHD might be the answer to some of their life long questions
My Background and Approach
Therapy is a space to make sense of these experiences without shame. Your anxiety and self-criticism didn’t come out of nowhere and they are not personal failures. Together, we’ll explore how ADHD has shaped the way you think, feel, and relate to yourself, while also focusing on ways to work with your brain rather than constantly fighting it.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that people shape themselves to survive their environment and the people around them. Every action makes sense in a certain context, shutting down and avoiding others makes sense when you are surrounded by unsafe people. Feeling worry about a persons reaction to you makes sense when you've lived in an unpredictable environment. I believe no one should have to explain, justify or fight for who they are or who they love. I believe there are coping skills that helped us in the past that may not help us now. I know how difficult it can be to change these behaviors that our mind screams are keeping us safe, I also know it can be done and I know that the work is worth the result. I believe that all dogs are good dogs, my dogs especially. I believe finding times to be silly is one of the best things a person can do for themselves. I believe everyone should allow themselves to ugly laugh at a terrible pun when they hear it.
