On the inside you’re unravelling. Overwhelmed and exhausted, stuck in the same day to day survival mode and feeling like you’ve lost yourself. Maybe you’re not quite sure when or how it happened, but somewhere along the line, life happened, and you no longer know who you are, your relationship with your partner doesn’t feel as close as it once did, or maybe your parenting isn’t what you imagined it would be. Where did your pleasure and purpose in life go? You built a beautiful life, but it’s harder than you imagined, and you feel like you’re failing.

I support adults with ADHD who want to lead meaningful, fulfilling lives. Adult ADHD can cause challenges with scheduling, time management, organization, relationships, and emotions. People can feel consistently behind, disorganized, overwhelmed, and easily frustrated. I help clients figure out what goals are most important to them, and we work together to organize the chaos so there is more time, energy, and patience for the things that really matter. You do not need an official ADHD diagnosis to work with me.
