ADHD

One of my core activities is diagnosing adults who believe they have ADHD and then help them to manage one of the biggest challenge of ADHD, planning and strategizing. Thus, I provide both diagnostic services and treatment.

I have a lot of experience helping others manage and make sense of their ADHD symptoms. As with anything, when we incorporate those experiences into our identity, rather than try to change who we are, we operate from a place of empowerment rather than defeat. In doing so, we can see how those symptoms can actually be helpful instead of just hinderances.

I specialize in therapy and coaching for ADHD with a neurodiversity-affirming approach, helping clients embrace their strengths and excitabilities. Trained in Adult Autism & ADHD assessment, I work with individuals who may have been overlooked in traditional settings, including women, gifted individuals, and BIPOC clients. My approach fosters self-understanding, empowering clients to thrive authentically in work, relationships, and life.

I possess extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. My knowledge of this complex condition enables me to create personalized treatment plans that address the unique needs of each individual. I understand the impact of ADHD on daily life and relationships, and am skilled in medication management and behavioral therapies to improve focus, impulse control, and overall functioning.

CBT, behavioral strategies, and psychoeducation can help identify unique challenges and strengths in each client's neurodiversity. CBT is helpful in identifying and countering negative or problematic messages thought patterns while collaborative, holistic evaluation of clients lifestyle, health habits, and self care routine can inform behavioral strategies.

I help clients with ADHD navigate overwhelm, procrastination, and emotional dysregulation by building structure, self-compassion, and focus. Together, we develop practical strategies to manage executive functioning challenges, improve task initiation, and reduce frustration. Using ACT, DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches, I support clients in working with their brains, not against them, to create sustainable habits and a life that aligns with their goals.

During my work in both child welfare and private practice, I have interacted with many clients that identified as neurodivergent or have neurodevelopmental disorders. Over the past couple of years, I have gained expertise in neurodevelopment disorders through participation in several trainings. I plan on continuing to learn interventions that will help clients manage difficulties in organization / planning, relationships, concentration, emotional regulation, etc.

ADHD is a highly misunderstood diagnosis-- even for those of us who diagnose it! I consider ADHD a spectrum and no two ADHDers are the same. I do not believe in ADHD as exclusively a deficit, but something unique that comes with it's own challenges but if we can "hack our system", we can thrive, and that is something I tell all my clients- neurotypical or neurodivergent. In our sessions we will discuss ways your ADHD may negatively impact you and how we can cope with that

I work with children and adults that have been diagnosed with ADHD. I also provide assessments. I specialize in DBT and emotional regulation training to assist with coping mechanisms and life strategies.

Every person with ADHD is unique, as are their challenges. I begin by conducting a thorough assessment to understand your difficulties, including organization, focus, planning, or adaptability. We devise an individualized plan based on these assessments to address your distinctive needs.

I specialize in working with individuals with ADHD, helping them develop strategies to enhance focus, emotional regulation, and executive functioning skills. My expertise includes utilizing cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and personalized coping strategies to support teens and adults in managing attention difficulties, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, so I understand how ADHD isn't just about "squirrel brain." It's how much you might call yourself lazy or not motivated enough, especially if you feel like other people are doing better than you. Or feel stuck in a loop of focusing and then feeling like you can't get started on something because it's just too big of a task. Or feeling like people don't understand when you try to talk about how ADHD impacts you. These are things we can work on together.

Christa has specialized training to work with neurodiversity, and working toward an ADHD certification.

ADHD brains are my people. If your daily vibe is “Why did I walk in here?” followed by “Ooh, something shiny,” welcome. I help folks ditch the guilt, stop forcing boring routines, and build systems that actually work for their beautifully chaotic brains. Forget perfection—we’re turning the chaos into something that finally makes sense.

I specialize in supporting individuals with ADHD in managing focus, impulsivity, and emotional regulation. My approach is strengths-based, helping clients develop practical tools for organization, time management, and self-acceptance. Whether you're struggling with school, work, or relationships, I provide a supportive space to navigate challenges, build confidence and create strategies that work for your unique brain.

I am certified is ADHD specific treatment.

As someone who got an adult ADHD diagnosis, I understand first-hand how neurodivergence impacts every aspect of your life. Sometimes it feels like the diagnosis is a missing puzzle piece to your past, and other times you want to grieve for how difficult things were because something was always off. Together, we explore how ADHD manifests for you - how it impacts all aspects of your life. We identify systems and solutions that are already working and build on them to create sustainable change.

I work with clients to understand their brain, develop coping strategies, and unlearn internalized shame about being neurodivergent. I am neutral on the subject of medication, and can support you in making the choice that is right for you.
