Adults with ADHD

Understanding Your Brain, Finding Your Rhythm

Many adults go through life feeling “too much” or “not enough.” You may have been told you’re disorganized, forgetful, scattered, or lazy. You might find yourself starting a dozen projects but struggling to finish them, or hyperfocusing on something you love while ignoring everything else. You may always feel like you’re running behind, even though you’re working harder than anyone around you.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. These are common experiences for adults with ADHD—and often, they’ve been misunderstood for years.

Late Diagnosis and Missed Diagnosis

For many, ADHD isn’t caught in childhood. Maybe you learned to mask it by overachieving, people-pleasing, or relying on sheer willpower. Maybe you were misdiagnosed with depression or anxiety. Or maybe you’re just now beginning to wonder if the way your brain works has a name.

Discovering ADHD in adulthood can bring relief, but it can also bring grief, anger, or questions about “what could have been.” Therapy can be a place to sort through these feelings and begin to write a new story—one grounded in self-understanding rather than self-criticism.

Beyond Symptoms: Your Whole Self

ADHD isn’t a flaw to be fixed. It’s a way of being that comes with both challenges and strengths. You might struggle with focus, time management, or motivation. At the same time, you may also be creative, intuitive, energetic, passionate, and deeply caring.

In therapy, we won’t just talk about strategies to help with organization or planning—we’ll also work on self-acceptance, boundaries, relationships, and letting go of the shame that so often comes with being misunderstood.

What Therapy Can Help With

  • Overwhelm at work or school

  • Difficulty following through on daily tasks

  • Feeling scattered, forgetful, or burned out

  • Shame or self-criticism tied to productivity

  • Struggles with boundaries and people-pleasing

  • Relationship challenges connected to ADHD differences

  • Building self-compassion and confidence

How We’ll Work Together

My approach is neurodivergent-affirming, which means I don’t see ADHD as something to cure or manage away. Instead, I help you understand your brain wiring, discover what works for you, and build a life that supports your needs.

We might use practical tools for focus and organization, explore relational patterns shaped by ADHD, and process the impact of growing up misunderstood. Most importantly, therapy is a space where you don’t have to mask—you can show up exactly as you are.

Moving Forward with ADHD

Living with an ADHD brain can feel exhausting when the world isn’t built for you. But it doesn’t have to mean constant struggle. With the right support, you can create systems that actually fit your life, connect more authentically in relationships, and feel less weighed down by shame or self-doubt.

You deserve to understand yourself fully and to live in a way that feels sustainable, compassionate, and empowering.
