ADHD and Neurodiversity Support for Teens, Adults, and Parents!
Does life feel harder than it should because of ADHD or other forms of neurodiversity? Maybe your teen is overwhelmed by school and emotions, you’re an adult who’s tired of feeling scattered or behind, or parenting feels like one long power struggle. Even couples can get stuck in cycles of miscommunication and frustration. You don’t have to figure it out alone. I help teens, adults, parents, and couples untangle the chaos, calm the overwhelm, and find strategies that actually fit real life. Therapy with me is about relief, understanding, and creating space for change.
I bring both personal and professional experience to this work, so I truly “get it.” My style is warm, down-to-earth, and practical. We’ll tackle what feels overwhelming while also celebrating strengths and wins. Together, we’ll build realistic tools that make everyday life feel less like a battle and more like a life you can enjoy.
If ADHD or neurodiversity has left you feeling drained, stuck, or misunderstood, you’re not alone. Reaching out is a brave first step. I’d love to help. Please check out my website. Service area is Oregon and California. My therapy dog, Dolce, can be present for Walk & Talk sessions near Bend, OR.
