Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD can affect far more than attention.
If you've spent years feeling disorganized, overwhelmed, or frustrated with yourself, you're not alone. Many adults with ADHD have learned to hide their struggles or blame themselves for challenges that are actually symptoms of how their brain works.
You might find yourself starting projects but struggling to finish them, missing deadlines despite your best intentions, forgetting important tasks, or feeling mentally exhausted from trying to "keep it together." Others may see someone who is capable and successful, while internally you're working twice as hard just to stay on top of everyday responsibilities.
Whether you were recently diagnosed or have been managing ADHD for years, therapy can help you better understand how ADHD shows up in your life and develop strategies that actually fit the way your brain works.

My Approach
I don't believe ADHD is about laziness or lack of motivation.
Together, we'll identify what's getting in your way and create realistic systems that support your daily life. Rather than expecting perfection, we'll focus on building sustainable habits, increasing self-compassion, improving emotional regulation, and finding strategies that work for you—not against you.
If medication is part of your treatment plan, therapy can complement it by helping you build practical skills for everyday life.
