ADHD

I work with several individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD and explore helpful skills and thinking patterns to support their understanding of themselves and how they relate to others.

Do you identify as neurodiverse, living with autism, ADHD, or giftedness, and seeking understanding, support, and empowerment? As a fellow neurodivergent person, I understand the unique challenges you face in a world that may not always appreciate your differences. Together, we will explore your individual strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and cultivate self-acceptance and self-advocacy. I provide a safe and inclusive space where your neurodivergent experiences are honored.

Have you ever experienced rejection and felt absolutely devastated? Do you find it difficult to know where to start with cleaning your room, or planning meals? Maybe you constantly find yourself impulse spending and when important bills come around, you're scrambling to make ends meet. Any of this sound familiar? I was diagnosed with ADHD four years ago and learning about it has been life changing. My hope is to help you learn how to work with your brain and life life to your true potential

I am trained in evidence-based practices to provide concrete and practical support for adults managing ADHD.

As a therapist with ADHD, I use my lived experience to provide empathy and understanding of the struggles, and I offer a plethora of tips and tricks that help support executive functioning skills. I practice highlighting how ADHD is showing up in your day-to-day life, especially for those who do not have a full awareness of this yet. I am not only knowledgeable about the diagnostic criteria, but I am also aware of related factors of ADHD that are not yet included in the latest DSM.

People with ADHD often possess tremendous creativity and intelligence. Adopting a treatment approach that emphasizes neurodiverse strengths/abilities can help ADHDers reach more fulfilling outcomes in therapy. Neurodiversity-affirming therapy can be particularly advantageous for those who have already explored traditional psychotherapy but found it lacking, unaffirming, or did not experience any noticeable benefits.

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!

I grew up in a household overrun by ADHD. This is a major reason I have been so intentional about managing my own and enjoy doing this kind of work with clients. I love to help clients with ADHD build skills to help them organize their thoughts and environment. It can be a lot of work up front, but after we have put some systems in place, many client's find significant symptom relief.

As a neurodivergent individual myself, I have both lived and professional experience managing and treating ADHD.

Receiving a diagnosis of ADHD can be incredibly validating and overwhelming. It provides us with a framework and entryway into better understanding ourselves. At the same time, individuals with ADHD have a history of being misunderstood, under-supported, and pathologized. Through a relational, creative, and somatic holding, I hope to remind you of the incredible gifts that this beautiful brain of yours also carries. To help you learn to regulate your emotions, and advocate for what you need

While I work with clients of varied identities and neurotypes, I work quite often with late-discovered/diagnosed Autistic and/or ADHD adults. Whether you’re in the early days of exploring a potential neurodivergent identity, or processing a recent self or formal neurodivergent diagnosis, I’m passionate about supporting clients through this process and the complex emotions that come with it.

As a neurodivergent therapist, I engage in evidence-based, client-centered, and somatic practices to support clients with ADHD in navigating the challenges they face, especially via challenging guilt and shame as well as honoring their strengths.

The following symptoms of ADHD: getting distracted and bored easily, forgetfulness, misplace things, mind wondering, trouble finishing task, unable to organize, excessive talking, interrupting conversations, fidgety in the chair, making careless mistakes. Pt may also report symptoms of hyperactivity and restlessness. Treated with various types of medications and holistic supplements.

I was undiagnosed until I was 25. For 25 years, I thought I was stupid, lazy, careless, and a failure. Therapy helps to shed these internalized beliefs that no longer serve us. Therapy can also help with learning about your own ADHD blindspots and how to navigate them in a way that works for you.

Humans aren’t machines, but a lot of us have been trained to hold ourselves to impossibly high neurotypical, capitalist standards of productivity, and then we feel shame when burnout inevitably sets in. I enjoy working with neurodivergent clients to reduce the stigma they feel for thinking differently and helping them learn tools to improve ADHD symptoms while embracing the beautiful parts of being neurospicy.
