1. What makes ADHD therapy different from regular counseling?

ADHD therapy focuses on understanding how your brain works rather than trying to “fix” it. Instead of just talking through challenges, we build a real-world toolbox for focus, organization, emotional regulation, and other executive function challenges. The process combines practical strategies with insight-based reflection, helping you create a life that fits you instead of forcing yourself into systems that don’t.

2. How does marriage and family therapy help with ADHD-related challenges?

Marriage and family therapy takes a systemic view - meaning we explore how ADHD affects every part of the family dynamic. When one person has ADHD, it often influences communication, routines, and emotional patterns for everyone. Working together helps couples and families improve understanding, reduce conflict, and strengthen connection through tailored strategies. Learn more about what ADHD looks like.

3. What if I’ve tried therapy before, and it didn’t help?

Many patients come to me after previous therapy experiences. ADHD requires a nuanced, specialized approach - not a one-size-fits-all method. My background in ADHD across the lifespan as a coach and marriage and family therapist allows me to meet you where you are and create a plan that truly fits your brain, relationships, and goals.

4. Do you only work with people who have ADHD?

While I specialize in ADHD, I also work with individuals, couples, and families facing life transitions, anxiety, or relationship struggles. ADHD may not always be the focus of our work - sometimes it’s one piece of a bigger story… or not part of the story at all. My approach helps uncover patterns and strengthen emotional resilience for all patients.

5. How does therapy work for couples where one or both partners have ADHD?

ADHD can lead to misunderstandings that repeat over time - one partner feeling ignored, the other feeling criticized, for example. In therapy, we identify patterns and learn communication tools that help both partners feel heard and supported. It’s about building a shared language of empathy and teamwork.

Many high-achieving adults with ADHD struggle silently with stress, burnout, and perfectionism.

The goal isn’t to do more - it’s to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control of your energy. Read about some ADHD tips in my blog.

8. What is “systemic” therapy,” and why is it effective?

Systemic therapy looks at the bigger picture of your life - how your thoughts, emotions, and relationships interact. Instead of treating challenges in isolation, we examine how patterns connect. this approach helps create long-lasting change because we address both the why and the how behind recurring struggles.

9. Do you offer therapy for parents or families managing ADHD at home?
