My Therapy

Depression

When I first started, depression was a diagnosis in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental diosrders). There were a lot of facts and criteria to be checked off in order to be considered a Major Depressive Disorder. As I've gained experience, I understand depression now to be a sign of psychological injury, usually due to something that happened in childhood.

Anxiety and Social Anxiety

Anxiety is similar to luggage in that it follows you around. We'll work together to help you deal with your worries and fears. Treating anxiety involves treating both the mental and physical side of it.

I have traveled the steps of a once socially anxious person, so I know the avoidance and fears of being judged poorly by others. Small talk can seem like a mountain to climb. Let me make that an achievable goal for you.

ADHD

I've overcome my own ADHD to be able to function without medication. I know what you're going through. In our sessions, it won't feel like I'm reading from a workbook.

High Achievers

I work with high-achieving individuals with high IQ and ambition who have checked off the boxes to achieve fabulous success. In your world, 'success' is average, and 'enough' is lazy. But then why are you unhappy? Why is your family unhappy? Perhaps the root is parents who were always critical and never satisfied. Or maybe, deep in your soul, you fear abandonment and rejection. We'll work through the layers together.
