ABOUT MEREDITH
Reaching out for help can feel like a failure to solve issues ourselves. I work with adults in understanding that our struggles are not about a lack of willpower, but that reaching out is a courageous step we make for ourselves.
I work with individuals feeling overwhelmed by symptoms of anxiety, depression, mania, and ADHD. Therapy can provide reassurance and a feeling that things finally make sense. I offer direct feedback with a caring and empathetic approach. I can walk you through the process of understanding these symptoms, what they mean for you and your family, and how to achieve the life you want to have.
I have extensive experience with trauma, depression, manic depression (Bipolar), anxiety, and ADHD. I have years of experience with domestic violence programs and also work with individuals dealing with life transitions.
One of the overlooked areas of our mental and emotional health is helping our families understand what we are experiencing and giving them the skills to have a positive impact. I work with families and loved ones by offering education, understanding, and steps to become a supportive resource for you.
Two separate groups focusing on Adults with ADHD.
I am currently accepting requests to join a group for adults with ADHD and a group for family members and loved ones of an adult with ADHD. The groups include a focus on Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).
If you have not been diagnosed with ADHD and would like an evaluation, schedule an initial session through the client portal to begin the process. The group is open to individuals who have not been diagnosed but struggle with the symptoms impacting their daily life.
Often, people as driven and intelligent as you are have a hard time coming to therapy. You may have survived some tough things from childhood, but you pushed past them to earn degrees and build a life. You know how to work hard and you’ve achieved recognition for that. You may wonder why those things from your past are bothering you now, or why you’re starting to feel burnt out just as you’re finally achieving success. When I sit with you, I work with a gentle tenacity: I’m careful with difficult places and emotions, and I also don’t ignore what’s really causing distress. I check in often about how our work is feeling to you.
