You're Not Lazy. You're Not Too Much. You Have ADHD.
Specialized virtual therapy for adults who are exhausted by trying harder at something their brain was never wired to do the conventional way.
Break Free From Intrusive Thoughts, Anxiety, and Compulsions
You've probably been told your whole life that you just need to try harder. Focus more. Be more organized. Stop forgetting things. Stop interrupting. Stop losing things. Stop being so sensitive. And you have tried harder. Probably harder than most people around you will ever understand — because you've been doing it without the neurological infrastructure everyone assumed you had. Maybe you only recently received your diagnosis. Maybe you suspected for years but were told you couldn't have ADHD because you did well in school, or because you're a woman, or because you seem so put-together from the outside. Maybe you're still not sure but something has never quite fit. Whatever brought you here — the exhaustion is real. And there's a different way forward.

What ADHD Actually Looks Like in Adults
Adult ADHD — especially in women and high-achievers — is frequently missed because it doesn't match the stereotype. By adulthood most people have developed enough coping strategies to mask what's actually happening underneath.
You might recognize yourself in some of these:A brain that won't quiet down or that goes completely blank when you need it mostStarting things easily but finishing them feeling nearly impossibleEmotional dysregulation that feels disproportionate and hard to explainRejection sensitive dysphoria — intense emotional pain in response to perceived criticism or failureChronic overwhelm despite being intelligent and capableTime blindness — losing hours, missing deadlines, underestimating how long things takeHyperfocus on things that interest you, paralysis around things that don'tA long history of being labeled scattered, flaky, too sensitive, or underperformingDifficulty sustaining relationships, routines, or systems that work for longer than a few weeksUsing food, substances, screens, or busyness to regulate a nervous system that struggles to self-regulate
If you've spent years wondering why everything feels harder for you than it seems to
for everyone else — ADHD may be a significant part of that answer.ADHD therapy isn't about convincing you to try harder at systems that were never designed for how your brain works. It's about understanding how your brain actually functions and building strategies, skills, and self-awareness that are realistic for you specifically. My approach is solution-focused and practical — we spend time understanding patterns, but we move toward building something different. Sessions are collaborative, direct, and designed to create real change in your day-to-day life. I combine:
CT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) — reducing shame, building psychological flexibility, and connecting daily life to your values rather than your deficits
Solution-focused therapy — identifying what's already working and building from there rather than dwelling in what isn't
DBT skills — emotion regulation and distress tolerance, particularly for rejection sensitivity and emotional dysregulation
Psychoeducation — understanding your ADHD profile specifically so you stop pathologizing traits that are neurological, not moral
Practical skills building — realistic, ADHD-friendly strategies for the areas of life most impacted

Common Questions About ADHD Therapy
If You Were Diagnosed Late — or Are Still Waiting for Answers
ADHD rarely travels alone. Many adults I work with are navigating ADHD alongside OCD, an eating disorder, anxiety, or relationship challenges — and that combination requires a therapist who can hold all of it without defaulting to treating only one piece. ADHD and OCD overlap in ways that are frequently misunderstood — the presentations can look similar on the surface but require very different treatment approaches. Getting that distinction right matters. ADHD and eating disorders — particularly binge eating and emotional eating — share deep connections through impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, and reward sensitivity. Treating the eating disorder without addressing the ADHD often leaves a significant maintaining factor unaddressed. If you've been in therapy before and progress felt incomplete, a missing or under addressed diagnosis may be part of why.
A thorough intake assessment — we use validated measures to understand your ADHD profile, emotional patterns, and any overlapping presentations
Psychoeducation first — you'll understand your brain in a way that reframes your history and reduces shame
Identifying your specific patterns — time, emotion, relationships, work, self-care — we look at where ADHD is showing up most and what maintaining it
Building realistic strategies — ADHD-friendly, practical, and tailored to your actual life not a generic productivity system
Emotional regulation work — because dysregulation is often the most disruptive and least addressed part of adult ADHD
Progress tracking — validated assessments throughout so we can both see what's shifting
-
No. Many adults I work with are in the process of pursuing a diagnosis or are self-identified. You don't need a piece of paper to begin understanding your brain and building strategies that work for you. That said, a formal evaluation can be valuable and I can help you think through whether that makes sense for your situation.
-
Both can be valuable and they work best in combination for many people. Medication can create neurological conditions that make therapy more effective, but therapy addresses the emotional, relational, and behavioral patterns that medication alone doesn't touch — shame, dysregulation, relationship impact, and the years of internalized messaging that you were somehow failing.
-
Probably yes. Generic therapy that isn't ADHD-informed often feels frustrating for people with ADHD — too much open-ended reflection, not enough structure or forward momentum. My approach is solution-focused and direct. We move.
-
Yes — this is a specific area of expertise. ADHD, OCD, and eating disorders overlap significantly and I'm trained in all three. Many of my clients carry more than one of these presentations and benefit from someone who doesn't have to choose which one to prioritize.
