A little about me

​

Before I became a therapist, I spent many years asking myself the same questions many of my clients ask: “What is wrong with me?” and “Why am I like this?”

​

My own mental health journey began after the birth of my third child. I became overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, and struggled to keep up with daily life. I cried often, felt frustrated and irritable, and had difficulty managing the responsibilities of parenting and maintaining a household.

 

At the time, I believed something must be seriously wrong with me. When things became unbearable, I scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist. I prepared my home and my children because I genuinely believed I might be admitted to the hospital. Instead, I was told I was experiencing depression.

 

That diagnosis surprised me. I had always thought depression meant sadness, yet what I felt most often was anger, irritability, and emotional overwhelm. Medication helped, and life improved, but something still did not fully make sense. Anxiety eventually joined the picture, and while treatment helped, I continued to struggle with feeling constantly behind, disorganized, and overwhelmed by everyday demands.

 

For years, I believed these were personal failures. It was not until my 30s that I finally received a diagnosis that explained the underlying pattern: ADHD.

​

Suddenly, many things made sense. The depression I experienced was often the result of feeling like I could never keep up with the expectations of life. The anxiety came from constantly anticipating failure or letting people down. When my ADHD was finally treated, the pieces began to fall into place, and my life changed in ways I had not thought possible.

​

That experience profoundly shaped the therapist I would later become.

​

Today, I specialize in helping individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, misunderstood, or exhausted from trying to function in a world that does not always fit how their minds work. Many of the people I work with struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or emotional dysregulation.

 

Often they have spent years believing they are the problem.

​

My goal in therapy is not simply to treat symptoms, but to help people understand themselves more clearly, develop practical strategies that actually work for their brains and lives, and rebuild a sense of confidence and stability.

​

I know firsthand how confusing and discouraging mental health struggles can feel. But I also know that with the right understanding and support, meaningful change is possible.
