The Never-Ending Catch-Up Game
If you’re navigating ADHD, daily life can feel like a constant game of catch-up. You might be overwhelmed by clutter, constantly running late, zoning out in conversations, or stuck in the loop of starting and abandoning tasks—even ones that really matter to you.
You may be hardworking and deeply caring, but no one sees the effort it takes just to function. The missed deadlines, emotional dysregulation, forgotten appointments, or “why can’t I just do this?” moments are exhausting—and often misunderstood.
Maybe people have labeled you as lazy, unmotivated, or careless. The truth? You’re trying incredibly hard. And still falling short of expectations you never chose.
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re not alone.
You’re Wired Differently—And You’re Not Alone
ADHD affects more than 17 million people in the U.S. alone. It impacts all genders, ages, and backgrounds—and no, it’s not just about being hyper or distracted.
For many adults, ADHD goes undiagnosed for years. You may have spent your childhood wondering why things felt harder for you. You may have masked your struggles, overcompensated, or internalized the belief that something was “wrong” with you. For some, the diagnosis doesn’t come until adulthood—when stressors like parenting, work, or relationships finally push things to a breaking point.
Whether you were diagnosed as a kid or are just now putting the pieces together, ADHD therapy can help you:
Understand how your brain actually works
Learn how to work with it, instead of constantly fighting yourself
Begin to untangle the shame that’s been weighing you down
You don’t have to fit a stereotype. You don’t have to prove you “deserve” support. If life feels harder than it should be—you’re allowed to seek help.
What ADHD Therapy Can Help With
Therapy for ADHD can address a wide range of challenges, including:
Time blindness and chronic lateness
Procrastination and difficulty starting tasks
Perfectionism and fear of failure
Emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity
Trouble organizing, prioritizing, or completing tasks
Impulsive behavior or difficulty with follow-through
Burnout, self-doubt, and shame cycles
Overwhelm from masking or masking fatigue
Whether your struggles show up at work, in relationships, or in your daily routines, therapy offers a nonjudgmental space to explore what’s really going on—and to build tools that actually work for you.
Therapy Isn’t About Changing Who You Are—It’s About Helping You Harness How You’re Wired
In ADHD therapy, we don’t try to “fix” you. Instead, we work together to understand your unique brain and create strategies that honor how you're wired.
My approach is:
Neurodivergent-affirming: You’re not broken. Your brain just functions differently—and that difference is real, valid, and important.
Trauma-informed: Many people with ADHD have a history of trauma, chronic stress, or shame. We’ll move at your pace, with care and compassion.
Individualized and collaborative: There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. We’ll co-create tools that support you, not just some idealized version of what you “should” be.
I integrate evidence-based tools from schema therapy, executive function coaching, CBT, and relational therapy to help you:
Build systems that are actually sustainable
Reduce shame and self-criticism
Improve focus and follow-through
Learn self-regulation strategies
Reconnect with your sense of agency, self-worth, and creativity
I Just Need to Try Harder…
If you've lived with ADHD long enough, you've probably told yourself this more times than you can count. Maybe you believe the problem is willpower. Or maybe you’ve been told that if you just “got organized,” “used a planner,” or “stopped making excuses,” everything would be fine.
But ADHD isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a brain-based difference in how attention, emotion, and executive functioning are managed. Therapy isn't about telling you to push harder—it's about helping you discover what actually works for you.
We focus not on forcing discipline, but on:
Building realistic systems
Understanding your neurobiology
Practicing self-compassion
Making small, consistent changes that reduce overwhelm
Supporting long-term growth—not perfection
You Are Not the Problem
So many adults with ADHD feel like they’re constantly letting people down: missing deadlines, zoning out in meetings, overcommitting, forgetting to respond to texts, struggling with emotional outbursts, or spiraling into shame. It can feel like life is always one step ahead—and you’re falling behind, no matter how hard you try.
But here's what I want you to know: You are not the problem.
The problem is trying to live in a world that wasn’t built for the way your brain works—without support, understanding, or permission to do things differently.
Therapy is a place where you can:
Be fully honest without fear of being judged or pathologized
Identify patterns and triggers without shame
Rebuild trust in yourself and your abilities
Create a life that feels less overwhelming and more you
Reach out today to schedule a free consultation. I’d be honored to support you.
You Deserve to Feel Understood, Not Managed
You don’t need more apps, planners, or productivity hacks. You need space to understand yourself, unlearn shame, and reclaim your strengths.
Whether you're:
Newly diagnosed with ADHD
Suspecting you might have it
Struggling to manage life with an existing diagnosis
Dealing with co-occurring issues like anxiety, depression, or trauma
…therapy can help.
You deserve support that sees your brain as different—not broken. Therapy can help you stop apologizing, stop pushing through, and start living from a place of acceptance and alignment.
