I work with adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, executive functioning challenges, chronic overwhelm, and the frustration that can emerge when capable people struggle to meet the demands placed upon them. Many of the individuals I work with have spent years feeling misunderstood, “lazy,” scattered, underperforming, or locked in cycles of conflict, shame, avoidance, procrastination, or self-criticism despite significant strengths and effort.

​

My approach to ADHD and executive functioning is relational, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that behavior makes sense within context. I draw heavily from the work of Dr. Ross Greene and Dr. Gabor Maté, viewing attentional and behavioral challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as meaningful expressions of underlying neurological, emotional, developmental, and environmental processes. Treatment often includes building emotional regulation skills, increasing self-understanding, improving communication and family dynamics, reducing shame, and developing more flexible and sustainable ways of functioning at school, at work, at home, and in relationships.  I have experience working with parents and schools to develop reasonable accommodations for kids that could use individualized support solutions.

​

I also work closely with parents seeking a more effective and compassionate understanding of their children’s behavior. Parenting a child with ADHD or executive functioning challenges can be challenging, particularly when traditional behavioral approaches seem to escalate rather than resolve conflict. Parent work often focuses on reducing cycles of frustration and blame, strengthening connection and communication, and helping families develop practical, sustainable strategies that support both accountability and emotional regulation over time.
