Does This Resonate With You?
Anxiety
Are you nervous or irritable when faced with specific tasks or situations? Thinking through the “worst-case scenario” before something happens. Or beating yourself up internally for something said or done after the fact. Do you tell yourself you are “overthinking” something and still have trouble saying what you want or need to say?
In session, to address your anxiety, I work to provide you with the space needed to help improve your mental health. This is usually done by helping you identify and build on your strengths, challenge your negative self-talk, untangle anxious thoughts, and find ways to help you be more present in your day-to-day life.
Life Transition/Sense of Overwhelm
Has life recently changed for you, and you are having trouble adjusting? Perhaps you just moved to a new area, stepped into a new role at work, or have new caregiving responsibilities for a child, spouse, or parent. You think “If I can just find a way to get into the swing of things.” But…. that hasn’t happened yet. You feel yourself moving throughout the day according to never-ending to-do lists wondering when or even IF you will find the time to get it all done.
In session, to address life transitions, we collaboratively find ways to chip away at your large sense of overwhelm. By exploring the individual challenges, you may be facing within the context of personal and social events that may leave you feeling drained.
Emotional Implications of Adult ADHD
Have you recently been diagnosed with ADHD and are not sure of your next steps? Maybe feeling a whole host of emotions ranging from relief at having a diagnosis, to sadness on being diagnosed as an adult, to being unsure of how to move forward.
To address a recent ADHD diagnosis, in session, I make space for you to explore all the feelings you may be experiencing such as relief, grief, frustration, and uncertainty. We also explore ways to help you in your everyday life. In some sessions, we may have activities in which we use art therapeutically, review and discuss psycho-education relevant to your presenting issues, practice mindfulness techniques that may be beneficial for you, and/or engage in classic “talk therapy.” My goal is to meet where you are and provide you with what may be needed at the moment while still being connected to your overall goals for therapy.
If you are having some of the thoughts or experienced some of the situations listed above, I invite you to consider if working with me may be able to help. Browse the site or reach out to me to book a consultation today to find out how.
