As a therapist with ADHD, I recognize that one of the most painful experiences that come with ADHD is feeling “in your own way” and the sense of thwarted potential that comes along with it.
My goal is to foster a warm, accepting, and respectful environment where we celebrate the beauty of ADHD while exploring and addressing the practical, emotional, psychological, and relational impacts of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world.

I work with people who are sorting through who they are and how they want to show up in the world. That might look like untangling identity, emotional baggage, anxiety, or neurodivergence - or working through grief, religious trauma, relationship shifts, or just feeling stuck. I’ve supported artists, caregivers, SWers, and other entrepreneurs, along with folks navigating non-traditional relationship structures like non-monogamy or kink dynamics. A lot of what I do comes down to building gut trust, setting boundaries that can stick, and figuring out what matters to you (not just in theory, but in practice).

I have additional expertise working with ADHD and neurodivergence and addiction counseling.
You might be someone who’s done a lot of therapy, read many books, and worked hard to understand yourself — yet still feel stuck in anxiety, panic, or a quiet sense of not being enough. Or you might be someone who’s never tried therapy and feels completely lost. Or maybe you're part of a couple who keeps having the same fight, longing to connect but not knowing how. Either way, you’re not behind. I offer a warm, flexible, relational approach — tailored to you, not a script. We’ll be close collaborators, moving at a pace that feels right for you. I’ll provide the space for all of your parts to feel safe enough to be seen.

Do you often feel like on paper you have it all together, but on the inside you may be consumed by feelings of anxiety or doubt? Many of my clients come to therapy stuck in a disconnect between their mind and body. I recognize how hard it can be to show up for yourself when you may be more attuned to others’ perceptions of you, protecting yourself from conflict. Late diagnosed neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ identity exploration, or complex trauma can manifest in many ways. I am here to help you make sense of it all, and help shed light on parts of you that may be kept in the shadows. You deserve to be seen, heard, and wholly supported.

ADHD Therapists
How can therapy help with ADHD?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, and executive functioning. Therapy can help you develop practical strategies for managing challenges such as procrastination, disorganization, difficulty with time management, impulsivity, and trouble starting or completing tasks. Therapy can also help address the emotional aspects of ADHD, including stress, low self-esteem, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday demands. Medication, commonly prescribed by psychiatrists, is another common treatment for ADHD and may help reduce core symptoms, particularly when used alongside therapy or other skills-based support.
Who can diagnose ADHD?
Many professionals, including psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, psychologists, and certain types of therapists (e.g., licensed counselors and clinical social workers) can diagnose ADHD. However, while certain types of therapists may be able to diagnose, they usually cannot prescribe medication; only medical providers, such as psychiatrists and certain nurse practitioners, are able to prescribe and manage ADHD medications. Therapists can also usually not provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, especially if specialized testing is required.
What therapeutic approaches are most effective for ADHD?
Treatment for ADHD often includes a combination of medication and behavioral support. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely studied therapeutic approaches for ADHD, particularly in adults. It can help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns while developing practical skills for managing everyday challenges. For children, treatment frequently involves parents, caregivers, or teachers and includes strategies to support the child at home or school.
Can therapy help with ADHD in children and adults differently?
Therapy for ADHD often looks different for children and adults. For children, treatment often focuses on behavioral strategies, such as establishing consistent routines, reinforcing positive behaviors, and setting clear expectations. Parents, caregivers, and teachers are often actively involved in treatment so that these strategies are consistently used across settings. In contrast, adult ADHD therapy is often more conversational and self-directed, while still remaining skills-based. Treatment may focus on executive functioning, including planning, organization, time management, and emotional regulation.
How can I find an ADHD therapist?
The Psychology Today Directory is a helpful resource for locating therapists who specialize in diagnosing and treating ADHD. You can filter search results by clinician specialty, cost, location, and identity preferences. When evaluating potential professionals, it is important to ask about their experience in treating ADHD, as well as their typical approach to therapy. If you are seeking evaluation or treatment for a young child, it may be beneficial to search for a child therapist who is more knowledgeable about appropriate treatment for younger clients. In addition, it's important to verify whether a therapist accepts your insurance—and, since not all plans fully cover ADHD assessments or testing services, it’s especially important to confirm that these specific services are included in your coverage before starting the treatment process.
