MacDonald LCSW

I have been a mental health professional for over 19 years and want to help you embrace the wonder and curiosity amidst the chaos.  

 I am passionate about helping people who are overwhelmed with life and feel lost in unfulfilling relationships (with their partner, parents, friends, or in their career).  Many of my clients have had challenging childhoods, even if outward appearances don’t reveal that.  If you’re looking for someone to help you to feel more calm, connection and enjoyment in life - I’m ready to link arms and walk alongside you. 

LET’S MAKE ANXIETY & UNFULFILLING RELATIONSHIPS A THING OF THE PAST

 

You feel alone & that you have to figure it out on your own.


Maybe you are exhausted.

You’re busy planning for every possibility but the only result you run into is exhaustion.  You’re always preparing for the worst case scenario and trying to protect yourself and the people you love.  You’re stuck in a cycle of overthinking - you’ve thought about it from every angle possible.  You’re good at analysis but even with all your effort, things still don't feel crystal clear.  You’re afraid of making mistakes and the imperfect parts of yourself will be exposed to others.  This fear keeps you going even when you want to stop or find peace.

 

Maybe you’re a mom dealing with overwhelm.  

The to-do list never ends.  Day in and day out, you have to figure out where the kids are going, how they get there, what they are going to eat, what they are going to wear, and how to keep the house from looking like it was hit by a hurricane.  Does it feel like the pressure is starting to take a toll on your relationships?  Maybe you feel like your partner has no idea all the things you take care of and you wish they could appreciate everything you do.  If you’re really honest with yourself, you don’t feel seen or heard.  Most nights you feel invisible or completely alone.  You want so desperately to slow down and reconnect with yourself and your spouse.  But you’re not sure how.  It feels like if you stop, everything will come teetering down.

Maybe you feel more like a parent than a partner.

Does it feel like your relationship has become a series of tasks to complete instead of an adventure full of fun and excitement?  You want to feel more connected to your partner - like you’re in it together.  But some days you don’t feel like they really see you and you’re not totally convinced that they could still be interested in you after all this time.  There isn’t much in the way of romance happening and arguments get ignited over small things that don’t feel so small at the moment.  You know that by the end of the day, you are both exhausted. 

 

Maybe you are facing some big life decisions

and you’re not sure which way to go… You’ve been thinking and overthinking things, but it still feels unclear.  You want to know what your next steps should be: Should you move for that job?  Stay in that relationship?  Take time to focus on yourself? Leave your job?  You’re asking some big questions and you know whichever decision you make will change your life in one way or another.  It can be scary to ask these questions and to not know the answers.  You might be wondering, Is it only me? Or do other people feel this way?  How do people do this anyway? You might feel like you’re running out of time to get things right.  If you don’t know where to turn or you’re feeling stuck, not knowing what your next step should be - I’m here…not to tell you what to do, but to help you discover your unique path forward.

If you’re ready for a change, I offer online therapy sessions.

It’s easy to get started.
