ADHD

Brains to the front! In this house, we embrace neurodiversity. The human brain is complex and marvelous. Understanding how our brains work, and how we can learn to work with our brains instead of against them, opens pathways for healing and can free us from cycles of shame and guilt (you know, that inner voice that tells us we're doing it wrong or not being enough).

ADHD/ADD is a complicated, misunderstood, and often ignored diagnosis by clinicians. In my work, with people who are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, I keep this important part of their life and experience front and center. My approach supports people in identifying ways that neurodivergence has impacted their life. What messages have we learned about ourselves? What invisible ways have our differences impacted our understandings of relationships? I support people in challenging these narratives

ADHD is not a disease, your brain simply works in a way that other's may not consider to be typical, but it is normal and together we'll find ways to help make it work for you! With a focus on skill learning, interventions and acceptance my clients reduce the distress that unmanaged ADHD can cause and learn to find happiness with themselves.

ADHD. While it's uniquely presented in everyone, there are still commonalities. The challenge is usually to figure out how to work with YOUR presentation, and not apply a universal approach to each person. It's as unique as you are, and I strive to approach your challenges the same way. I myself have ADHD. I love when we find an approach or tips that work for YOU. When working with me, we find solutions that work for YOU!

Extensive background in working with diverse social/emotional needs of children ages 5-18 to include assessments and support for 504 plans and special education evaluations. for students who suffered from neurodivergent conditions (ADHD) that negative impact their daily ability to learn in the traditional school setting.

I get how ADHD brains work because I’m right there with you, thinking outside the box to find what truly helps. I’m great at getting into my clients’ heads, so together we can figure out solutions that actually make a difference. It’s about finding what works for you and finally making real progress that feels good.

Everyone encounters stress during their lives at one point—never-ending bills, demanding schedules, work, and family responsibilities—and that can make stress seem inescapable and uncontrollable. For people with ADHD this stress can be even more pronounced with their compromised executive functioning and associated focusing difficulties. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them better manage their ADHD.

With specialized training as an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider, I excel in diagnosing and treating adult ADHD. My expertise includes comprehensive assessment and personalized treatment plans. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), structured process development, and mindfulness techniques to improve sustained attention, task management/organization, and emotional regulation, empowering clients to achieve their personal and professional goals efficiently.

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.

We can help you or your child regain focus, decrease impulsive behaviors, control impulses, and get things done.

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 provide tailored care for individuals with ADHD, focusing on improving focus, organization, and emotional regulation. Through comprehensive assessments, evidence-based therapies like CBT, and personalized strategies, I help clients manage symptoms and thrive in daily life while achieving their full potential.

As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult I know how much shame, anxiety, and depression can come with it. I believe ADHD is one of the least understood diagnoses. It's easy to say there's nothing to be ashamed of but the world was not created with our brain structure in mind, so we tend to have a significant amount of shame and negative beliefs about our abilities and self-worth. It's an uphill battle but one certainly worth fighting.

Finding supportive, informed therapists for ADHD, Autism and other Neurodiversities (ND) can feel like an impossible task. Believe me, I know. Both my brother (who's Autistic) & myself (who's ADHD) have heard collectively, every dismissive comment from professionals, friends, families and strangers. We understand the unique issues females/ AFAB people face with being diagnosed (Dx). Every therapist at my practice is competent and informed in this area and is trained on dxing NDs.

My approach is to assist with developing strategies and skills for daily life, as well as helping clients identify, process, and manage emotional conditions related to ADHD, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and rejection sensitivity.

ADHD impacts every corner of a person’s life, from how they see time to how they operate in relationships. I don’t just give “tips and hacks”, I work with the person to better understand themselves, their brain, their strengths, and how we can work with the special brain you have to live more comfortably.

If you have a neurodivergent brain like I do, chances are, you’ve developed a variety of tools to manage in a neurotypical world. Maybe these tools are no longer working or new roadblocks have gotten in the way. Maybe you are exhausted by efforts to mask your neurodivergence. Therapy can help you understand and appreciate your brain, identify and maximize strengths, develop a sense of authenticity, increase self-compassion, improve self-image, and learn effective problem-solving strategies.

As someone late-diagnosed & medicated for inattentive ADHD in my thirties, I can attest to the struggles of decluttering, losing things, & negative self thoughts of "Why can't I just concentrate like everyone else?" Talk therapy, Bluetooth device finders, & practicing mindfulness are approaches we might use.
