Neuro-Affirming ADHD Support

My approach to helping people with ADHD is deeply personal. I bring a lifetime of lived experience with ADHD. I know firsthand the heavy frustration of executive dysfunction and the exhaustion of constant burnout. I also know what it actually takes to get through a day in a world that wasn't built for neurodivergent brains. More recently, I’ve come to understand my own autism, giving me a really clear look at how ADHD and autism overlap, conflict, and coexist.

I know deeply what it’s like to live with mental illness, so I can hold space for the anxiety, depression, and trauma that often tag along with neurodivergence completely free of judgment. As someone who understands the intersection of queerness, ADHD, and autism, I see how deeply gender identity and sexuality shape our experiences. I also know how masking just to fit in can make you feel doubly invisible.

While I’ve spent plenty of time in my career supporting kids, teens, and families, right now my practice is focused exclusively on working with adults and couples. When we work together one-on-one, I use a mix of practical, brain-friendly therapies to help you stop feeling so much internalized shame:

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): We’ll use this to catch and untangle those brutal, distorted thought patterns, such as "all-or-nothing" thinking or intense self-criticism, that come from years of trying to blend in.

• DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): This is all about practical self-regulation. I’ll help you learn real-time skills to handle intense emotions, sensory overload, and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) so you don't feel completely derailed.

• ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy): We’ll work on building mindfulness and flexibility. Instead of fighting against how your brain is wired, you'll learn how to ground yourself and make choices that align with what actually matters to you.

In my work with couples, I specialize in looking at how neurodivergence plays out in relationships. ADHD and autism can show up in unexpected ways at home, often leading to painful miscommunications, lopsided executive functioning loads, or feeling disconnected. I help partners look past the frustration, decode what is actually happening beneath the surface, and build new, realistic communication habits that respect how both of your brains work.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you drop the outdated survival tactics, find strategies that actually fit your life, and build relationships and spaces where you can finally thrive just as you are.
