ADHD
Are you one of those people that wants to pull the covers over your head and hide when you have a lot on your plate? Is that because you don’t know where to start and feel very overwhelmed just thinking about it?
If planning (time management), problem-solving, prioritizing, and practicing are things you struggle with, you are in the right place!
Seeking therapy to improve these executive functioning skills will help you to increase productivity and provide more focus and clarity to your day-to-day life.
During therapy, we will address the difficulty getting started and help you get unstuck. We will talk about strategies and skills you can use when you’re feeling overwhelmed, and you will walk away with a toolbox to use when you have a task at hand.
Anxiety
Are you feeling exhausted after spending time around others at work, at school, or even when you’re with friends? Your emotional energy feels nonexistent after these interactions. You’re spending a lot of time thinking about, “what if…” scenarios when you are entering into unknown territory, which is interfering with your life.
Anxiety is fear of the unknown. You continue to think about every possible outcome despite having been successful in the past or having no information to draw from.
Working through your fears can be a very daunting process. It takes a lot of vulnerability and growth, and it can be so rewarding! We will work on coping skills to help you understand how your triggers and emotions affect your ability to move forward. We will help you develop a plan you feel comfortable with when you’re in spaces where you may feel uncomfortable. You will guide the process, and I will be there to walk alongside you.
Depression
It’s hard when you feel like nothing is going your way. You feel sad, tired all the time, unmotivated, and sometimes you even struggle to get out of bed. You’re wondering why nobody understands what you’re going through, and you don’t even understand it yourself. You feel like you have tried everything to help you get your focus and energy back, but nothing works, and it’s frustrating.
Depression is one of those beasts that nobody can explain. What you do know, is that something has to change. You want to feel motivated, upbeat, in the mood to socialize, and ready to work on achieving your goals. This is what happy looks like to you.
Adults and teens alike, struggle with feelings of depression. While symptoms may look and feel different at different stages of your life, so must the coping skills you use to get through them. We will work together to help you regain control of your emotions and take back your energy. We will create a plan with resources and tools you can use when you start to feel yourself spiral, and you will feel confident that you can get through anything.
