Hi, I'm Sara. Living with ADHD can feel like you’re constantly running to catch up. Maybe it’s always been a struggle—forgetting tasks, losing focus, or feeling scattered—or maybe a recent change like school stress, a new job, or parenting challenges has made it harder to cope. ADHD can bring frustration, shame, and exhaustion for both kids and adults, straining relationships and self-confidence. As a parent of two children with ADHD, I understand how overwhelming this can feel. Together, we can find ways to better manage challenges and build strategies that actually work for you. Accepting new clients!
In therapy, I create a supportive space where we slow things down and focus on what matters most to you. Using a person-centered approach, we’ll explore what’s been getting in your way and develop practical strategies to manage ADHD, improve focus, and boost confidence in daily life.
Change starts with one step. Call or email me to schedule a free consultation, and we’ll talk about what you’ve been going through and how therapy can help you feel more focused, confident, and in control.
