I grew up in a turbulent family environment where everyone tried their best to cope with chaos. I had undiagnosed ADHD and I tried to fit in by hiding my impulsivity. It’s a common experience for many of us, feeling the need to mask parts of ourselves that don’t match societal expectations.

We've all had unique qualities or differences ridiculed by family, friends, or society, leading to a lifetime of concealing our true selves. This constant effort to control emotions and avoid shame can consume much of our time, leaving us disconnected from what truly matters, including relationships.

The process of embracing these masked parts of ourselves can lead to a remarkable transformation. By acknowledging and processing long-buried emotions, we can finally prioritize self-care and self-acceptance.

In therapy with me, I’ll guide you towards self-acceptance and emotional healing that will give you the freedom to live without the constant weight of shame and self-doubt.
