ADHD THERAPIST ACROSS FLORIDA
You’re not a problem to be fixed. You’re a person to be understood.
Finding acceptance & embracing life with ADHD.
One of the hardest things about ADHD is constantly feeling misunderstood.
It’s like every time you’re just getting organized again, your thoughts go somewhere else to distract you…and before you know it, you end up with one big mess of thoughts, incomplete tasks, and frustration. Things that feel like they should be simple—daily tasks and responsibilities—can feel so overwhelming.
If only trying a little harder to stay more focused actually worked. Despite trying to get to the bottom of why you’re struggling and find ways to change it, you’re worried about being labeled as “lazy” or “someone that doesn’t follow through” by others, and even yourself. You don’t know how to stop procrastinating and then beating yourself up for it. You’re frustrated, overwhelmed, and sometimes, a little bit ashamed. Is it possible to move forward when you feel like something that’s such a big part of you is holding you back?

Therapy for ADHD is not just a matter of "sit still and focus”—there's a lot more to it than that.
ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain processes information. ADHD can make it hard to stay focused, control your impulses, or make you feel super energetic—but it can look different for everyone.
Here, I’ll help you see yourself in an entirely new way.
As a therapist with ADHD myself, I know firsthand the difficulties that can come with navigating life a bit differently in a world that isn’t catered to people like us. But while there are challenges, I’m here to tell you there are some good things too! Through therapy, you’ll be able to recognize your different strengths and the positives (seriously!) of ADHD, while making your life work for you, not against you.
Many women with ADHD develop different coping mechanisms like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and others because they’re working so hard to keep up appearances. This constant cycle can make you feel completely exhausted and you end up having no time to actually take care of yourself.
In our sessions, we're going to explore what ADHD really looks like in your daily life. Sure, we'll talk about focus and attention, but we're also going to explore all the other stuff that comes with it—the creativity, the impulsivity, the way your brain just works differently.
I’ll also help you process any shame or guilt you might feel related to ADHD. It can affect your relationships, your work—everything. You’re not lazy and it’s not your “fault” that things have turned out the way they have. You don’t have to keep beating yourself up. I’m here to help.

Together we’ll work to help you thrive, set boundaries, and learn to let go of what others—who honestly don’t even know what they’re talking about—say about ADHD.
