Therapy for ADHD and Life Transitions
Person-centered, experiential psychotherapy — grounded in respect for what you already know about your own life.
Something stopped working the way it used to.
Maybe the anxiety got louder. Maybe a relationship, a career, or a sense of who you are stopped feeling clear. Maybe an old pattern showed up again. Or a transition cracked something open and left you with questions that are hard to sit with alone.
Many of the people I work with have spent years carrying some version of the feeling that they were too much or not enough — too scattered, too sensitive, too disorganized, never quite on top of it. Some receive an ADHD diagnosis later in life, after years of assuming the problem was effort or character. It wasn’t.
My work starts from a different place: you already carry real knowledge about yourself — your history, your values, what you’ve had to protect, and what you’re moving toward. Therapy is where we listen to that more closely, make sense of what’s tangled, and find ways forward that are honest enough to hold.
Some of our work may be quiet and exploratory. Some of it may be practical — looking at patterns, self-criticism, avoidance, and the structures that help you move through a day. We shape the work around what you bring — what matters, what gets in the way, and what actually helps.
Who I work With
I work with adults in many stages of life — college students, graduate students, young adults, mid-career professionals, caregivers, helpers, and people navigating major transitions.
You might be coming to therapy because you are:
Living with ADHD, or wondering how attention, motivation, and executive function are shaping your life
Moving through a transition in school, work, relationships, identity, or life stage
Struggling with anxiety, low mood, grief, or emotional overwhelm
Trying to understand how trauma or difficult past experiences still show up in the present
Burned out from caregiving, healthcare, helping work, or emotionally demanding responsibilities
Questioning your direction, purpose, values, or next step
Wanting a more reflective kind of therapy — one that makes room for meaning, creativity, and inner life
Many people who reach out to me aren't only looking for symptom relief, though that may be part of the work. They're also trying to understand what's underneath the distress, what's asking for attention, and how to move forward in a way that feels more connected to who they are.
My Approach
My approach is integrative, relational, and responsive. The ground of my work is person-centered therapy — which means I take your lived experience seriously, and I trust what you know about your life, and let that be a guide.
I also draw on experiential and Focusing-oriented therapy, existential-humanistic work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and trauma-informed care. What that looks like in the room depends on you. Often it means slowing down enough to notice what’s actually happening — not just the story about it, but the felt sense underneath.
Depending on what fits, our work might include:
Paying attention to what you’re experiencing beneath the noise
Clarifying what you value, need, and choose
Working with anxiety, avoidance, shame, or the inner critic
Exploring patterns that keep showing up in relationships, work, school, or identity
Making room for grief, uncertainty, or emotion that runs strong
Finding small, real changes to carry outside the session
Following images, metaphor, dreams, or creativity where they lead
Some people want a slower, more spacious process. Others need more structure — especially when anxiety, ADHD, overwhelm, or a hard decision is part of what brought them in. We talk openly about what’s helping, and we adjust as we go.
