“ADHD didn’t exist when I was a kid.” How many of you have heard this before? ADHD is not some new condition invented in the 21st century, but rather it is something that went unrecognized, misunderstood, and often would be labeled as lacking motivation, lacking discipline, or being lazy.

Modern life is often defined by an abundance of screen time, packed schedules, and long hours spent indoors.

When people come to therapy, they often carry quiet doubts about whether they are healing in the “right” way. Many of those doubts come from cultural messages, social media, or well-meaning but misinformed advice.

When asked about future goals, many people state that they "just want to be happy." Heck, I used to be one of them!

As a therapist deeply committed to helping individuals and families navigate the challenges of mental health, I recently had the privilege of completing advanced training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy through the International OCD Foundation.
