Introduction

Do you ever feel like your brain is constantly running, making it hard to slow down or focus on what matters most? Maybe you struggle to start tasks, manage time, transition between responsibilities, or cope with big emotions. Executive functioning challenges and pressure to keep up can leave you feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Over time, repeated struggles, criticism, or feeling misunderstood can fuel perfectionism, shame, self doubt, and a harsh inner critic. In therapy, we will better understand how your brain works, strengthen emotional regulation, and build practical strategies that support you instead of working against you. I specialize in working with adults with ADHD, especially women who were diagnosed later in life after years of masking, overcompensating, or feeling like they were somehow falling short. Together, we will build practical tools for focus, organization, and emotional regulation while helping you feel more confident, capable, and compassionate toward yourself. As someone living with ADHD herself, I understand how exhausting it can feel to constantly push yourself just to feel like you're scraping by in everyday life. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and genuine. You can show up exactly as you are, and together we will create a space that feels grounding, validating, real, and safe enough to grow.
