Mental Health Concerns

---

Do you ever find it difficult to adequately control your urges and emotions? Losing your keys every time you lay them down? Reading the same few sentences over and over but don't remember what you read a few moments later? ADHD is a concern that affects every area of your life. Difficulty with attention, focus, impulse control and/or hyperactivity are staples of this disorder. I complete a full screening along with consideration of your symptoms to adequately treat this concern.

Do you have a constant feeling of worry and doom? Anxiety is a constant feeling of concern and worry that controls your thought process. This concern can lead to feelings of self-doubt and eventually isolation. It can hinder you from achieving your dreams. Anxiety is like a snowball, the longer you have struggled with it and the less control you have over it, the larger a problem it becomes  

Do you play sports and have personal concerns that keep you from performing at your highest level? Are you a former player and sports was such a part of your life that now it's hard to understand where to go next? These concerns are an important part of life as an athlete and can be addressed in therapy

Do you find yourself uncertain about what you want to do when you grow up (whether you're 15yrs or 55yrs old)? These are common feelings people experience when it is time for a change in their life. Often, we find ourselves unsure of what career to pursue or realize we are doing something we no longer enjoy. It may be time for a change! 

Are you finding it harder and harder to get motivated to complete tasks on a daily basis, along with a feeling of sadness? Depression is when sadness starts to overtake your life. Sometimes it may manifest itself as body aches, tiredness/constant fatigue, Sometimes we don't recognize how much those thoughts and feeling have impacted our life. 

Do you find yourself checking things over and over? Do thoughts in your mind replay themselves over and over? Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a all consuming concern that dictates your thoughts in many ways and causes you to spend a significant amount of your time completing tasks that help alleviate these obsessive thoughts. I complete a screening for OCD within each initial evaluation. 

Do you have difficulty going out in public without feeling like you constantly have to be on the lookout for danger? Do you have nightmares that plague you over and over again that disturb your sleep? Post Traumatic stress disorder is a condition that closely mimics other mental health concerns, often a mix of ADHD like symptoms, anxiety, depression, and intense anxiety that can result in panic attacks. If you fear you may be living with this disease dont hesitate to reach out.  

Do you find yourself in unsatisfying relationships? Are you around others but still feel lonely? Are you a magnet for unhealthy people? Do you feel like the world is constantly falling apart because the lack of support in your life and increased difficulty because of the behavior of your partner or those around you? Have you ever googled, "what is abuse?" If these questions apply to you, you may be wondering why you keep finding yourself in these unhealthy relationships. Unlock your innner confidence and strength and get to the root of the program through therapy.

Do you find that you are constantly exhausted and your sleep is not where you would like it to be? Sleep disturbances affect every area of life. If your sleep is not restorative and restful, if you are not sleeping enough, your symptoms may present like other mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression. Sleep is the cornerstone of human existence. If youre not sleeping, it's difficult to address other concerns. I screen for sleeping disorders during all initial assessments. 

Living with mental health concerns and not having adequate support feels impossible. I treat a variety of other concerns such as addiction, autism, bipolar, and serious mental illness. Depending on your symptoms, we will work together to decide if counseling or mental health medications are the appropriate choice.
