Low self-esteem isn’t just "feeling bad"—it’s a constant, exhausting performance to prove you deserve to exist. As a gay man and a professional with ADHD, I know the toll that relentless self-criticism takes on the soul. Sometimes, that internal noise becomes so deafening that pain feels like the only language left to speak. I want you to know that I am a safe, comfortable space to discuss self-harm and suicidal ideation. I don’t meet these struggles with judgment or panic; I meet them with steady, clinical expertise and a commitment to your safety. We will work collaboratively to navigate these darkest moments while adhering to necessary legal and safety protocols, moving away from the "perfection or bust" mindset. Together, we’ll dismantle the lie that you are "broken" and instead build a foundation of genuine self-compassion where you finally feel safe in your own skin.
