Even when you want to do better, it feels like your brain won’t cooperate.
You’ve spent countless hours scrolling on your phone, feeling guilty for putting off the task you know you should be doing. You have scattered loose-leaf to-do lists with barely any tasks crossed off. You’re tired of watching the clock waiting for motivation to hit. The thought of getting started on a task fills you with dread, so you avoid instead. And when you finally do get started, you’re too distracted to get anything done.
You’ve tried everything to get on track but nothing seems to work. You’re starting to feel hopeless and ashamed, thinking maybe there’s something truly wrong. You’re brimming with incredible ideas and goals, but you worry you’ll never actually meet your potential.
Here’s the truth
As someone with ADHD myself, I know just how much shame and guilt can come along with it. Especially for women and those who have been diagnosed in adulthood, being neurodivergent can bring layers of emotions. I’ve learned that once we remove the layer of shame that comes with it, things can feel lighter. The productivity hacks and tools that work for everybody else (‘Just make a to do list!’, ‘Have you ever tried using a planner?”) might not work for you, and that’s OK. Once we accept that ADHD brains are unique, we can learn skills and strategies that match our needs.

Depending on your environment, responsibilities, and life experiences, ADHD can affect different areas of daily life.
You might experience:
• Difficulty starting or finishing tasks despite good intentions (Procrastination Therapy)
• Intense emotional reactions to criticism or perceived rejection (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria Therapy)
• Getting stuck in cycles of overthinking or mental rumination (Overthinking & Rumination Therapy)
• Feeling chronically overwhelmed or mentally exhausted from trying to keep up (Burnout & Work Stress Therapy)
• Struggling with self-criticism, high standards, or fear of making mistakes (Perfectionism Therapy)
• Repetitive thoughts or compulsive mental checking when trying to feel certain about decisions (OCD Therapy)
While these experiences may look different on the surface, many of them are connected to how ADHD affects attention, emotional regulation, and executive functioning.
Understanding the specific pattern that resonates most can help guide therapy and create more focused progress.
Here’s what we’ll focus on in our sessions
In our ADHD therapy and coaching sessions, we’ll tackle both the practical and emotional sides of ADHD. You’ll get tools to help you manage your time, stay organized, and actually focus, without that constant feeling of overwhelm. At the same time, we’ll work through the frustration, guilt, and “not good enough” feelings that can come along with ADHD. The goal isn’t just to cope, it’s to help you reach your goals, feel more in control, and finally enjoy a life that feels rewarding.
I bring together professional expertise and my own personal experience to create an approach that’s truly tailored to you. We’ll build on your strengths while tackling the challenges ADHD brings into your life. You’ll get practical tools, clear guidance, and a space to unpack how ADHD has been affecting you. Together, we’ll work on shifting unhelpful mindsets and putting strategies into action, so you can make real, lasting changes at work, at home, and in your relationships.

Questions?
Yes, therapy can be an effective part of managing ADHD symptoms. While medication can help with focus and attention, therapy addresses the emotional and practical challenges that often come with ADHD, like self-esteem, motivation, organization, and relationships. In our sessions, we’ll work on building strategies that fit your lifestyle, helping you feel more in control day to day.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, but several types of therapy are shown to help with ADHD. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help improve focus, time management, and emotional regulation. Coaching and skills-based approaches can help with organization, motivation, and daily routines. In our work together, I’ll tailor strategies to your personality and goals to make the process feel as natural and supportive as possible.
ADHD therapy is collaborative and hands-on. We’ll focus on understanding how ADHD shows up in your life and develop practical strategies that will focus on organization, time management and managing overwhelm. Sessions might include exploring emotional patterns, building structure, and strengthening self-esteem. The goal is to help you feel more capable in both your personal and professional life.
No, you don’t need to be formally diagnosed to start therapy. Many of my clients seek help because they relate to ADHD traits or are exploring whether they might have it. In therapy, we’ll focus on understanding your challenges, building strategies that fit your brain, and improving focus, motivation, and confidence, diagnosis or not. If you decide to pursue an assessment, I can also help you navigate that process.
Each 50 minute session is $170. Many insurance plans offer coverage for psychotherapy—just check with your provider to see if sessions with a Registered Psychotherapist are included. You’ll receive a receipt after each session that can be submitted for reimbursement. In many cases therapy can also be claimed as a medical expense on your income taxes.
