ADHD

ADHD can feel like a constant roller coaster - riding up and down between distraction and hyperfixation, energized and exhausted, elated and depressed. Your brain gives you a lot, and I know how to help you direct all of that energy toward your goals. When treating ADHD, I focus on tools and management strategies to support you while also deeply exploring how your unique worldview affects your identity and relationships.

Leveraging my training and my personal experience of having ADHD, I provide specialized counseling for ADHD for individuals as well as its impact on couples/ relationships. I assist clients in managing symptoms, enhancing focus, and improving executive functioning. Tailoring strategies to each individual's strengths and challenges, I work to empower clients to navigate daily life with confidence and resilience.

Whether you have a diagnosis of ADHD or suspect you have it, we go beyond the label and work with the impact of distraction, procrastination, hyper-fixation, and the pain of boredom. You thrive in highly stimulating environments with lots of moving pieces and great productivity, but you experience drops and lows afterward. Your lived experience with disorganization and chaos has led you to exceptional strategies of self-management, sometimes resulting in self-criticism and judgment.

Through evidence-based strategies, psychoeducation, and skill-building exercises, I empower clients to harness their strengths, improve executive functioning, and navigate the challenges associated with ADHD effectively, fostering success and well-being in various aspects of their lives.

Another neuro-spicy disorder, i am familiar with how this impacts people and changes presentations of other struggles such as anxiety and depression. I have worked with countless clients who fall in this category, and helped them improve their functioning and better understand how they operate.

As a person who is neurodivergent myself, I know first-hand how much of a barrier it can be to navigate a world that is often not set up for us. There can be confusion, shame and isolation in this. I bring an integration of knowledge, encouragement and strategies to help folks see the power in the way they function and ways to enhance and build community around that.

Living with ADHD can feel overwhelming, with challenges in organization, focus, and managing emotions. As a sole practitioner, I provide personalized support to help you navigate these difficulties. Together, we'll develop practical strategies tailored to your needs, empowering you to take control and live with more ease and confidence. You don’t have to face this alone—I’m here to help.

As someone diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, I deeply understand the struggle. In my experience, some of the biggest barriers for neurodiverse people occur because we do not fit the "mold" we've been taught to model. Part of our work together will be helping you break out of those molds, so you can create a life you can thrive in. Together, we will find the tools and systems that work uniquely for you. If they do not exist, we will create them.
