Does one partner in your marriage have an ADHD diagnosis or is there suspicion of ADHD? Some of the ways that shows up in marriage: a history of not following through, forgetting tasks, the non-ADHD partner may seem like they are angry all the time while the (possibly) ADHD partner seems defensive all the time.There might be big reactions to small complaints & there might be a variety of challenges with time: procrastination, being late, not recognizing how much time has been spent on something or the time something takes. I help these couples find their way back to good relationships as a sub-specialist in ADHD couples counseling.
I love working with couples and families. I've trained in marriage & family therapy in graduate school, through internship supervision & through many post-degree trainings. I've completed level 2 in the advanced Gottman training & am certified in Discernment Counseling. I am an ADHD certified clinical services provider. I'm sub-specialty trained for couples
Couples with an ADHD partner have some struggles that have specific themes & unmanaged ADHD can destroy relationship satisfaction. There are solutions & I'm sub-specialty trained & clinically experienced to help your ADHD marriage. I can help you get out of the parent-child dynamic ruining your relationship.
