When you were a kid, how often did you hear things like:
“You’re just lazy.”
“You need to try harder.”
“Why can’t you be more like everyone else?”

If you have ADHD or AuDHD (autism and ADHD), chances are you’ve been misunderstood for most of your life. No one noticed that you were working three times harder than anyone else. They just told you it wasn’t enough. What you heard was, you aren’t enough.

Over time, those messages can wear you down.

Counseling is where we work on the emotional aspects of having ADHD. We work on understanding how your mind works and having more positive feelings around that. We’ll explore what your brain does well alongside the things that aren’t so great. I want you to understand that ADHD is neurological, not something you did wrong.

Some of the things we work on will be directly related to ADHD symptoms like inattention or hyperactivity. We’ll find strategies to mitigate those weaknesses. We’ll also find ways to create a life that uses more of your strengths. This solution-focused work is a lot like ADHD coaching.

Other things we work on will relate to how you feel about having ADHD. How you feel about yourself. How you were molded by the people in your childhood who caused you to feel “less than”, whether it was intentional or not.

A neurodiversity-affirming, results-focused approach

As a neurodivergent therapist, I bring both personal insight and professional tools to our work. I understand how ADHD and AuDHD can impact daily life — and I also know you’re here because you want things to change.

Our work will be collaborative, practical, and tailored to your needs. Depending on those needs, we may use methods like:

• CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy)
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
• EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques / Tapping)
• IFS (Internal Family Systems, or “parts work”)

These approaches can help you move past patterns that feel stuck — whether it’s emotional reactivity, shame, or that constant sense of “not doing enough.” They’re not just about insight; they’re about helping you make real shifts in how you feel and function.

You don’t have to power through on your own. Therapy can be a space to feel understood, experiment with new strategies, and unlearn the shame that’s built up over the years. Together, we’ll look at what’s getting in your way — and build systems, habits, and coping tools that fit your life.
