ADHD Therapy in California
First things first: Differences in neurotypes are a natural & important variation in human cognitive function. You are normal. Diversity is necessary for a healthy society!
ADHD can make everyday life feel harder than it looks from the outside. You may struggle with organization, follow-through, emotional overwhelm, rejection sensitivity, people-pleasing or a harsh inner critic. Therapy can help you better understand your brain, reduce shame and build support systems rooted in how you actually function.
Individual Therapy for ADHD
ADHD can make life feel harder than it should be.
Many people with ADHD grow up feeling like they can’t quite get things right. Tasks that seem simple for others—staying organized, managing time, following through—can take enormous effort. Emotions may feel bigger and harder to regulate, and years of criticism or misunderstanding can slowly erode self-confidence.
I understand this on a personal level.
But ADHD is not just about challenges. It also comes with incredible strengths—creativity, insight, empathy, curiosity, and the ability to see connections others might miss.
In our work together, we’ll focus on understanding how your brain works and finding strategies that actually fit you. My goal is to help you reduce shame, regulate emotions more effectively, and reconnect with the strengths that often come with ADHD.
You don’t have to keep fighting yourself. Therapy can help you learn how to work with your brain—and start feeling more confident in who you are.

Support for Late-Diagnosed ADHD
Receiving an ADHD diagnosis later in life can bring relief, grief, anger and a flood of new questions. You may look back and realize how often you were misunderstood, criticized or expected to function in ways that never fit you.
Therapy can help you make sense of your story, soften the inner critic and begin building a life that works with your brain instead of constantly fighting against it.
