ADHD

Working with ADHD has been a consistent thread throughout my practice. My understanding deepened while working as a counselor in a university disability program, supporting students as they came to understand their own ways of learning and moving through the world. It's an area I've continued to focus on since.

When I work with someone who has ADHD, the work isn't so different from my work with anyone else. Each person is unique, and we take time to understand what you're looking for and what might help.

Part of this can be developing a clearer sense of your own patterns — how attention, energy, and motivation tend to work for you. That understanding can make sense of experiences that are easy to misread; sometimes what looks like anxiety, for example, is really the effort of pushing through a task that doesn't fit how you work best. Noticing these distinctions opens up more than strategies for executive function — it makes room to work with your own ways of being rather than against them.

What I bring is a familiarity with some of the common patterns of ADHD, so that, ideally, you don't have to explain or defend the way you work. Together we'll find an approach that fits your strengths and your goals.

A note: I provide ADHD-informed therapy, not formal testing or evaluation. If you're looking for an assessment, I'm glad to point you toward providers who offer that.
