ADHD Therapy and Coaching

ADHD can affect every part of your life. Adapting to a neurotypical world when your brain works differently isn't just hard; it takes a real toll on your mental and physical health. Nearly 80% of people with ADHD will develop another mental health concern, such as depression or anxiety, at some point. Many also experience lower self-esteem, relationship conflict, and chronic burnout.

Traditional ADHD treatment focuses on productivity: better organization, time management, task completion. But when that's all we address, the anxiety, shame, and relationship struggles stay unresolved. In our work, we treat the whole picture: how ADHD impacts your emotions, relationships, and nervous system, not just your ability to get things done

Together, we'll work on:

  • Increasing your self-awareness: Awareness of your body and how it responds to stress. Awareness of how you learn and retain information. Awareness of your feelings, how to label them, and how to manage them.

  • Learning to move through emotions instead of getting stuck: Folks with ADHD tend to hyperfixate on problems. We'll work on skills that allow you to process and move through emotions rather than ruminating.

  • Learning to function when symptoms spike: Instead of falling apart or shutting down. Some days you have more in the tank. Learning how to recognize when symptoms are worse while still being able to make progress.

  • Building self-acceptance: Finding ways to thrive without minimizing or hiding who you are.

Along the way, we'll create a toolbox of strategies you can draw from to navigate daily challenges—ones that actually fit your brain and your life.

I typically work with adults ages 18+. I will work with children and teens if parents also agree to parent coaching (see below).

ADHD Couples Counseling

ADHD can make relationships feel harder than they "should." Fights tend to get bigger faster. People can fixate on issues, and it can be difficult to explain to your partner how your brain works. For partners without ADHD, it's often confusing to understand the intensity or seeming inconsistency of their partner's reactions. Managing daily life may require more reminders and planning, which can leave both people feeling alone, frustrated, or burnt out.

I help couples reset the balance between grace and accountability. For partners with ADHD, conflict can feel especially intense—hyperfocus can lock you onto an issue, while "out of sight, out of mind" can push it aside. That might ease tension in the moment but often leaves things unresolved, leading to long-term feelings of disconnection or abandonment—leaving both partners feeling burnt out.

Love is about seeing and understanding each other's experiences. When your brains work differently, it's easy to miss each other's intentions. My goal is to help you build mutual understanding first—then solutions if needed. Together, we reintroduce grace, accountability, and curiosity so conflict shifts from "How do I make you understand?" to "How can I better show up in relationship with you?"

I'm completing extensive training in ADHD couples therapy through the Melissa Orlov ADHD Effect in Marriage program, which specializes in helping couples navigate the unique dynamics of ADHD in relationships.

Parent Coaching for Families with ADHD

The strongest predictor of success for kids with ADHD is their parents' understanding of the disorder and ability to provide support. One hour of therapy per week helps, but lasting change happens when there's understanding and support at home too.

As a trained family therapist, I know ADHD affects the whole family system. For anyone under 18 I'm seeing for ADHD-related therapy, I require their parents complete at minimum 3 coaching sessions and agree to monthly check-ins.

In parent coaching, we focus on helping your child build skills like self-awareness, emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, and self-acceptance while also reducing the risk of developing additional mental health challenges. The goal is to create a connected, confident family system where skills last beyond the therapy room.
