ADHD Treatment
More than focus.
The whole picture.
ADHD is not just about attention. It shapes how you move through the world, how you feel about yourself, and how you connect with the people around you.
You don't need to try harder. You need someone who actually understands what you're working with.
A lot of people come in having spent years being told they just need to try harder, be more organized, or stop getting distracted. What they haven't been told is why those things are so hard, what's actually happening underneath, and what it might feel like to finally have real support that meets them where they are.
I work with teenagers, adults, and parents navigating ADHD and tailor treatment to the unique needs of each person.
Adolescence is already hard. Add ADHD and the gap between potential and performance can feel devastating, especially the shame, the social struggles, and the sense of always being behind. I work with teens using approaches suited to where they are right now, academically, socially, and developmentally.
Many adults with ADHD were never diagnosed as kids. They've spent decades developing workarounds, blaming themselves for underperforming, and struggling in relationships without knowing why. There's a specific kind of relief that comes from finally understanding what's been happening, and from building strategies that actually fit how your brain works.
Parenting a child with ADHD is its own challenge, and parenting with ADHD yourself adds another layer entirely. I work with parents navigating either or both, including support through the SPACE method, an evidence-based approach to helping children with anxiety and ADHD through parent-focused work, without needing to see the child directly.
Understanding the complexity of how ADHD is experienced is central to my approach and informs my work with individuals and families.
Organization, time management, and planning systems that work with ADHD, not against it
Breaking tasks down, building routines, and managing the overwhelm of getting started
Understanding your own patterns, what drains you, what activates you, and how to work with that
Identifying and building on strengths, not just managing deficits
Setting realistic goals and actually moving toward them in a way that feels sustainable
The chronic sense of overwhelm that doesn't go away even when things are going okay
Self-esteem that has taken years of hits from underperforming, forgetting, and falling short
Relationship struggles, difficulty with emotional regulation, the impact on partners and family
The exhaustion of masking, overcompensating, and working twice as hard just to keep up
Anxiety and shame that often travel alongside ADHD and rarely get addressed on their own
The impact of ADHD is not confined to the individual. It shapes how couples communicate, how conflict unfolds, and how parents show up with their kids.
When one or both partners have ADHD, couples often find themselves in a specific and exhausting dynamic. The non-ADHD partner can feel like they are carrying everything, constantly managing and reminding. The ADHD partner can feel criticized, misunderstood, and like nothing they do is ever enough.
I work with couples to understand how ADHD is shaping their dynamic, interrupt the patterns it creates, and build a relationship that works for both people rather than against one of them.
Parenting is hard. Parenting with ADHD adds a layer that most parenting books don't account for. Staying consistent, managing your own dysregulation while managing a child's, keeping track of everything at once, not snapping when you're overstimulated. These are real challenges that deserve real attention.
I work with adults to understand how their ADHD shows up in their parenting, build strategies that are realistic for how their brain works, and approach the role with less shame and more confidence.
My approach draws from behavioral strategies, coaching principles, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and person-centered therapy. What that means in practice is that sessions are grounded and practical, but they also go deeper when they need to.
Some people are ready to jump into structured coaching work right away. Others respond better to first developing a clearer understanding of their patterns before building structure and accountability. The balance is different for everyone, and the work shifts as you do.
Skills matter. So does the emotional landscape underneath them. I don't treat the symptoms in isolation from the person experiencing them. The goal is functioning at a higher level and feeling better about who you are.
People with ADHD have often spent years in environments that were either too rigid or too vague. I aim to be clear, consistent, and real, while also being genuinely warm and in your corner.
Medication comes up a lot in ADHD work, and it’s worth talking about honestly. I’m not a psychiatrist and I don’t prescribe, but I’ve worked alongside many clients and their prescribers over the years, and I’ve seen how much more effective both sides become when they’re actually in dialogue with each other.
Whether you’re medicated, unmedicated, or somewhere in the middle of figuring that out, I don’t push a particular direction. What I offer is a space to think it through clearly, with someone who understands the landscape and can work with you to weigh the pros and cons.
I can help you understand what medication can and can't do, and how to use it to support the skills and awareness you're building in therapy
I collaborate with prescribers when appropriate, helping to bridge the clinical and therapeutic sides of treatment
Whether you are medicated, unmedicated, or still deciding, the therapy is valuable and the door is open regardless
