SPECIALTIES
ADHD is not a one-size-fits-all experience. It can look like hyperactivity and impulsivity, but it can also show up as chronic overwhelm, perfectionism, or emotional sensitivity. No two people with ADHD experience it in exactly the same way.
Adult ADHD
How Therapy Can Help
We will work on strategies to support executive functioning, emotional resilience, and self-acceptance. ADHD is not just about productivity—it’s about learning to thrive in a way that works for you.
If you are a parent, your ADHD may impact your ability to manage household routines, stay present with your children, or regulate emotions during stressful moments. Understanding your ADHD can help you develop strategies to parent with greater patience, consistency, and self-compassion. Additionally, recognizing how ADHD may have shaped your own childhood experiences can help you break generational cycles and create a more supportive environment for your family.
Science tells us that no single system will work perfectly all the time—rigid structures can often lead to frustration when they inevitably fail. Instead, therapy can help you develop flexible, sustainable approaches that honor your brain's unique way of functioning while allowing for inevitable changes and setbacks.
Understanding your ADHD diagnosis
Receiving an ADHD diagnosis later in life can bring a mix of emotions—relief, validation, frustration, and even grief. You may be reflecting on past struggles and wondering how things could have been different if you had known sooner. Many late-diagnosed adults have spent years masking their symptoms, internalizing shame, or feeling like they were constantly falling short. Therapy can provide a space to process these feelings while helping you move forward with self-compassion and clarity.
Common Challenges in Adulthood
ADHD impacts far more than focus and organization. You may struggle with time management, emotional regulation, impulsivity, and difficulty maintaining routines. Many adults with ADHD also carry the weight of perfectionism, feeling like they have to work twice as hard to meet expectations. Unlearning these patterns and understanding your brain’s unique wiring can be a transformative process.
Relational trauma occurs when the people closest to us, the ones we rely on for safety and support, are the very ones who betray, neglect, or abandon us. The impact is profound, because it shakes the foundation of trust that we need to feel secure in the world.
Relational Trauma
How Therapy Can Help
Through a trauma-informed, systems-oriented approach, we will explore how your early experiences have shaped your relational patterns. Using IFS and Brainspotting, we can access the deeper emotional wounds that continue to impact you and work toward healing them. You don’t have to keep navigating this alone—healing is possible, and you deserve relationships that feel safe and fulfilling.
Navigating the Impact of Childhood Chaos
Growing up in an unpredictable or emotionally neglectful environment can have lasting effects. Whether your caregivers were inconsistent, emotionally unavailable, or you felt like you had to raise yourself, these early experiences shape how you see yourself and others. You may struggle with trust, hyper-independence, or feeling unworthy of care. Therapy can help you recognize these patterns and begin to rewrite your story.
Common Challenges in Adulthood
Many adult children of chaotic or emotionally immature parents struggle with boundaries, emotional regulation, and self-criticism. You may find yourself over-functioning in relationships, avoiding vulnerability, or feeling anxious when things feel ‘too good’ because you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. These patterns often served as survival mechanisms, but they don’t have to define your relationships today.
The way we attach to others is the blueprint for how we navigate the world, how we give and receive love, and how we heal or hurt. Our relational dynamics are often shaped by these early bonds, and they echo throughout our lives, influencing how we connect with those who come after.
Attachment & Relationships
How Therapy Can Help
Through a relational and attachment-focused lens, we will explore the origins of these patterns and work toward creating healthier, more secure relationships. Using IFS and Brainspotting, we can access the core beliefs that drive these dynamics and begin to shift them. The goal isn’t to ‘fix’ you—you aren’t broken. It’s about helping you build relationships that feel more fulfilling, reciprocal, and safe.
Understanding Your Relationship Patterns
Relationships—whether romantic, platonic, or familial—are often shaped by our earliest attachment experiences. If you’ve ever wondered why you pull away when things get serious, feel like you have to ‘earn’ love, or get anxious about whether people truly care about you, you’re not alone. These patterns are deeply rooted in our past, but they don’t have to dictate your future.
Common Challenges in Adulthood
You may find yourself struggling with emotional intimacy, fearing abandonment, or feeling like you’re always the one holding things together. Perhaps conflict feels overwhelming, or you tend to shut down rather than express your needs. These responses make sense based on what you’ve learned about connection, but they can also keep you stuck in unfulfilling cycles.
