Adult ADHD

A Three-Pronged Approach

  • Psychoeducation

    The neurodivergent brain functions differently than the neurotypical brain - yet most of our education is catered towards the neurotypical experience. We’ll spend time in sessions, as it becomes relevant, learning about the ways in which your neurodivergent brain functions differently - gaining insight into why you do things the way you do and preparing us nicely to make suggestions to make thing work even better.

  • Practical Solutions

    You’re here because something in your day to day just isn’t working anymore. Maybe you’re having challenges at work or school, or maybe those areas feel great but your relationships could use some work. We’ll spend time creating practical, real life solutions to your real life problems, utilizing the strengths your neurodivergence gives you to their fullest instead of trying to fight your natural tendencies.

  • Deep Work

    While psychoeducation and practical solutions are incredibly important, they don’t address some of the biggest barriers to change and happiness that I see in neurodivergent clients - addressing shame, guilt, anger, grief, and other challenging emotions around their neurodivergent experience. We’ll spend time diving into how you were diagnosed, how things could have been different if you knew then what you know now, and ways to reconnect with yourself so that you can connect in your relationships in the here and now in a way that feels rewarding and fulfilling.

Understanding ADHD in Adulthood

Many people grow up believing that ADHD only affects children, but the reality is that it continues into adulthood, sometimes going undiagnosed for years. I know this firsthand - I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and I understand both the challenges and the unique strengths that come with it.

ADHD is more than just difficulty focusing. It can affect nearly every aspect of life, include:

  • Time management & organization - Struggling with deadlines, appointments, and daily routines.

  • Emotional regulation - Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or experiencing mood swings.

  • Impulsivity & decision-making - Acting on impulse, struggling with procrastination, or feeling stuck in analysis paralysis.

  • Work & career challenges - Difficulty with consistency, burnout, and navigating workplace expectations.

  • Relationships & communication - Challenges with listening, remembering commitments, or managing conflict.

  • Self-esteem & shame - Internalizing negative messages about being “lazy” or “not living up to potential.”

How I Approach Therapy

ADHD is not a flaw - it’s a different neurotype, a different way of thinking and experiencing the world. My approach focuses on working with your brain, not against it, using strategies tailored to your strengths and challenges. I integrate:

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative self-talk and develop practical coping skills.

  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you navigate frustration and self-criticism with self-compassion.

  • Executive Function Coaching to build skills in planning, prioritization, and productivity.

  • Mindfulness-Based Strategies to improve focus and emotional regulation.

  • Strengths-Based Approaches to reframe ADHD as a different (not defective) way of thinking and working.

Together, we can develop tools and strategies to create more structure, improve self-confidence, strengthen your relationships, and embrace ADHD as a part of your identity without letting it define you.
