Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I specialize in offering targeted support to young women and young couples who are navigating the complex terrain of ADHD, anxiety, and depression. These conditions can often be particularly challenging during the formative years of adulthood and in the context of relationships. My goal is to provide a safe and empathetic space where you can explore these challenges, learn coping strategies, and develop the skills needed to thrive. For young women, I understand the specific pressures and transitions you face, from education and career choices to personal development and self-esteem. I'll work with you to manage ADHD symptoms, anxiety, and depression, helping you build resilience and a positive outlook for the future. For young couples, I recognize that these mental health conditions can impact both partners and the dynamics of your relationship. I offer couples therapy that focuses on effective communication, conflict resolution, and mutual support while addressing the individual challenges each of you may be experiencing. Together, we will develop personalized strategies to manage symptoms, improve self-awareness, and foster healthier relationships. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and a commitment to your well-being and growth. If you're seeking a therapist who understands the unique challenges you're facing, I'm here to support you on your journey toward a brighter, more fulfilling future.
