Do you struggle to stay focused, organize tasks, or follow through even when you really want to?
Do you feel scattered, forgetful, overwhelmed, or easily distracted?
Do deadlines, emails, or everyday responsibilities pile up faster than you can manage them?
Living with ADHD can come with shame or self-criticism from years of hearing you are “lazy,” “careless,” or “not living up to potential.” In reality, ADHD is not a character flaw — it’s a difference in how the brain processes attention, reward, and stimulation.
How I Work With ADHD
My approach combines psychoeducation, compassion, and evidence-based tools to support you in how ADHD impacts your emotional regulation as well as your day-to-day life.
Psychoeducation and Self-understanding
We explore what ADHD actually is — how it affects motivation, attention, executive function, and the nervous system. Understanding your brain helps replace shame with insight and allows us to approach challenges with more compassion and strategy instead of self-blame.
Evidence-based Approaches
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thoughts like “I’m lazy” or “something is wrong with me,” and build realistic thinking and habits
Behavioral strategies & skills training such as task-breaking, external structure, time-management tools, cueing systems, and accountability supports
Behavioral Activation to increase momentum and reduce avoidance or shutdown when tasks feel overwhelming
Mindfulness-based interventions to strengthen awareness, pause impulsive reactions, and build the ability to bring attention back gently
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to reduce shame and help you move toward your values, even on days when motivation is low
Executive functioning support
We will work collaboratively on:
organization systems that actually match your brain
routines for planning, prioritizing, and task initiation
emotional regulation skills for frustration and overwhelm
motivation strategies rooted in reward and meaning
managing rejection sensitivity and self-criticism
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” ADHD or forcing you into systems that don’t work for your brain.
Therapy is about:
understanding how your brain works
learning practical strategies that fit you
strengthening self-trust rather than self-criticism
supporting confidence, agency, and follow-through
Many people with ADHD are creative, intuitive, big-picture thinkers with deep curiosity and energy. Together, we’ll work to reduce the parts that feel overwhelming while nurturing the strengths that already exist.
