Therapy that meets you where you are
Ways We Can Work Together
Individual Therapy
Support for high-functioning women navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, identify shifts, and life transitions.
Group Therapy
Facilitated, supportive group spaces designed for shared experience, insight, and connection— offered virtually.
Couples Therapy
Helping couples strengthen communication, rebuild connection, and navigate transitions such as living together, marriage, parenting, career changes, separation, and divorce.
Individual Therapy
Many women with ADHD don’t recognize it right away.
They’ve built systems. They perform well at work. They’re reliable, capable, and often the one others depend on. But behind the scenes, things feel harder than they should— mentally exhausting, emotionally overwhelming, or unsustainable.
I work with high-functioning women with ADHD who are navigating:
Chronic overwhelm or burnout
Difficulty with focus, follow-through or emotional regulation
Guilt, self-criticism, or feeling “behind” despite external success
Relationship strain connected to mental load or communication patterns
Major life transitions that make your coping strategies stop working
Therapy offers a place to slow things down, understand what’s actually happening, and build ways forward that don’t rely on constant effort or self-pressure.
Who This Is For
This work is a good fit if you:
Are a woman diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood or strongly suspect it
Feel capable on the outside by overwhelmed internally
Struggle with organization, time management, or follow-through despite trying “everything”
Feel emotionally reactive, depleted, or easily overstimulated
Are navigating career changes, parenting, relationships, or identity shifts
You do not need to be in crisis.
You do not need to be failing.
You just need to know that something is'n’t working anymore.
How Therapy Helps
ADHD therapy isn’t abot fixing you or forcing productivity.
Our work may include:
Understanding how ADHD shows up in your thoughts, emptions, and relationships.
Identifying patterns that contribute to burnout, anxiety, or shame.
Developing realistic strategies for attnetion, follow-through, and boundaries
Improving emotional regulation and reducing self-criticism.
Navigating relationships where ADHD dynamics create friction or misundertanding.
ADHD & Relationships
ADHD doesn’t exist in isolation.
Many women notice ADHD impacts:
Communication with partners
Division of labor and mental load
Emotional reactivity and withdrawal
Feeling misunderstood or “too much”
When helpful, individual ADHD work can naturally transition into or complement couples therapy.
