Transform Your Life with Purely Mental Health
Adult ADHD
Juggling classes, work, and a social life with ADHD can feel impossible. Many young adults experience ADHD symptoms that are often overlooked or misdiagnosed. I understand the challenges you face and provide specialized ADHD treatment. While ADHD can't be cured, we can develop practical strategies to manage your symptoms and reduce stress. As a ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider, I'll use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you improve focus, organization, and emotional regulation, addressing co-occurring anxiety and depression. Let’s get you on track.
Anxiety
Seeking a tailored approach to anxiety treatment? I provide customized therapy plans using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reshape your thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to align with your values, and Mindfulness Meditation Training (MMT) to enhance your inner peace. Together, we'll work to reduce your anxiety symptoms and create a more fulfilling life.
Depression
Take an active role in your depression recovery. My approach utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Process-Based Therapy (PBT), which is flexible, dynamic, and respects your unique experience. PBT allows us to address the bio-psycho-social factors contributing to your depression, build on your existing strengths, and disrupt unhelpful systems. We'll apply effective strategies to break free from the patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
Grief/Loss
Grief and loss can take many forms, extending beyond the death of a loved one. Whether you're experiencing the loss of a relationship, a job, a dream, or facing a significant life transition, processing these losses is essential for healing. I provide compassionate therapy to help you navigate your unique grief journey. Together, we'll explore your emotions, develop coping strategies, and find a path towards acceptance and resilience.
Life Transitions
Life transitions offer opportunities for growth and self-discovery. If you're feeling lost or uncertain during a period of change, therapy can provide the tools and support you need to thrive. I help adults navigate life transitions by fostering self-awareness, building resilience, and empowering you to make positive changes. Let's transform challenges into opportunities for personal growth.
