Treating adult ADHD from the inside out
Are You Smart, Self-Aware–and ADHD?
Then you know you’re capable of greater accomplishments than what you’ve done so far.
Let’s work together to help you become the person you were born to be.
Who This is For
You’re in the right place if:
- You’re smart, self‑aware, creative — and still not living up to your potential.
- You “know what to do” but can’t reliably make yourself do it.
- You feel inconsistent: brilliant one day, stalled the next, without knowing why.
- You get overwhelmed by ordinary tasks other people find easy.
- You feel shame, frustration, or self‑criticism about mistakes you barely saw happening.
- You’re deeply emotional, deeply enthusiastic — and sometimes deeply discouraged.
- You want both practical help and emotional support.
- You have big dreams or ambitions, but ADHD keeps derailing the path toward them.
If this sounds like you, you’re exactly the kind of person I work best with.
ADHD is a Sneaky Thief
It steals your focus. Your sense of time. Your capacity to organize or prioritize. Your ability to plan the path to your goals and dreams and stick with it long enough to make them real.
It steals your self-confidence and self-esteem. It sends you into tailspins at the worst moments. It makes you stall out in the middle of a big project, lose interest and give up, without even realizing you’re doing it.
Believe me I know. I lived it. I know what it’s like to get stuck in your head, imagining clear as day where you want to go and what you should be doing, but feeling totally incapable of figuring out the steps to get there.
I know what it’s like to have criticism or rejection feel so unbearably painful you avoid anything that might make you feel that way again.
I know what it’s like to be consistently inconsistent. To have a glitchy brain that runs like a Ferrari under certain circumstances (especially under deadline) but like a ’62 Fiat at others, and you don’t have much choice over which version shows up.
I know what it’s like to be completely overwhelmed by ordinary tasks other people find easy. To be told you’re “not really trying” when it feels like you’re trying as hard as you possibly can. To feel like you constantly have to compensate or apologize for errors, oversights and faux pas you can’t even fully see.
I can’t magically make your ADHD disappear. Nobody can. Medication helps most people enormously, but it doesn’t fix everything.
But imagine really owning your ADHD. Befriending it. Learning how it operates inside you so you can work around it — or even make it work for you.
Imagine living a better, saner, more self-forgiving life–and fulfilling that one dream your heart and soul yearns for.
I don’t know you yet, but I think you’re pretty amazing. You’re creative, whip-smart, extremely enthusiastic, and have a passion for living that many people never experience. I also know your brain can go to dark places that most people who know you would never suspect.
If you have a drive to live more than an ordinary life, let me help you become the person you know in your heart you’re meant to be.
And let me help you relationally and emotionally too — so you can feel as good as you deserve to feel.
Imagine a whole new relationship with your ADHD—and with yourself—and setting your course toward becoming who you want to be.
I Know Adult ADHD—And I Can Help You
At its heart, ADHD is a processing disorder — a difference in the way your brain sorts, prioritizes, and responds to information. Despite its name, it’s not actually a deficit in attention. There are times — and you know this — when your ability to concentrate is off the charts.
The real issue is a glitch in your brain’s ability to decide what’s important and what deserves attention. This hardwiring difference affects your ability to consciously control and direct your attention to where you want and need it to go, and it affects the mechanisms that process your emotions as well.
It’s not all of who you are, but a part of who you are. It always was, and it probably always will be.
I learned I had ADHD when I was forty — more than three decades ago now — and I’ve been treating people with ADHD almost all that time.
I know the emotional effects of adult ADHD. The cognitive effects. The relational and interpersonal effects.
I know the phenomenology of ADHD – how it affects and shapes what you think, feel and experience moment-to-moment.
And I know the treatments that have been proven to work.
I like to say that “ADDers are just like everybody else–only more so.”
Everyone has needs, vulnerabilities and feelings they wish they didn’t have, though most people would deny it. People with ADHD just have them more. I also think most of us feel positive emotions more intensely as well.
My lifelong exploration into the landscape of emotions and relationships — working with individuals, couples, and families — combined with my thirty-year deep dive into the nature of adult ADHD, gives me the perspective to help you in all aspects of your life: your inner feelings and wounds, your closest relationships, and the pragmatic realization of your life’s goals.
If any of this sounds like you, I’d like to hear from you. Tell me who you are and what you’re hoping for — that’s enough to start.
