ADHD COUNSELING IN-PERSON IN ROSEVILLE &VIRTUALLY ACROSS CALIFORNIA

There’s nothing “wrong” with you.

Learn how to work with your brain instead of against it.

How come you’re the only one who didn’t get an instruction manual for life?

You swing between frantically overdoing it and feeling paralyzed, staring at tasks that seem impossible to start or finish. The pile of unopened mail, the half-finished projects, the birthday card you meant to send months ago—each one feels like a reminder of what you should be able to do but haven’t. Time slips through your fingers, making you rush to catch up or hyperfocused on the wrong thing, only to feel even further behind.

It’s not just the tasks, either. It’s the feelings underneath your to-do list—the shame, dread, and frustration. You replay conversations, worry you’ve said something “awkward,” or avoid conflict because it feels overwhelming. You have so many ideas and so much potential, but little follow-through, leaving you stuck in a cycle of guilt and disappointment. You want to stop overthinking, feel less overwhelmed, and finally understand why it feels like your brain is working against you.

What you’re experiencing is real and valid (it’s not just in your head).

  • Learn to read your body’s signals and respond with kindness, not criticism

  • Gain tools to handle big emotions and manage impulsivity 

  • Understand why anxiety and ADHD are often linked—and how to untangle them

  • Accept the permission to just “be”

  • See and understand your personal strengths

My approach

ADHD isn’t a character flaw—it’s just a different operating system. 

We’ll start by understanding your unique ADHD story—how it shapes your daily life, your relationships, and your work. My approach combines practical strategies with a deeper understanding of how ADHD impacts every part of your life: emotions, relationships, and your sense of self. Together, we’ll map out what’s working, what’s not, and explore what strategies you’ve already tried. 

ADHD is like having 100 tabs open at the same time in the same browser. So I’m not going to give you another planner and help you try to stay on task with each part of your day—this is about building a personalized toolbox that actually works for you.

Along the way,

We’ll talk about how ADHD affects your brain: dopamine, nervous system regulation, rejection sensitivity, time blindness, and more.

You’ll gain insights into your energy patterns, triggers, and strengths, so we can develop strategies that align with your natural wiring. I believe ADHD isn’t just about focus or attention—it’s about how your brain experiences and interacts with the world.

The process is collaborative and flexible. We’ll test tools in real-life situations, adjust what doesn’t work, and celebrate what does. I believe in more than just helping you improve symptoms—I want to help you feel empowered, confident, and connected in a world that often isn’t built for how your brain works.

What ADHD is & isn’t

It is…

  • A brain-based condition that affects focus, organization, and impulse control.

  • Losing track of time or always feeling there’s not enough of it.

  • Feeling overwhelmed by emotions, noise, or tasks.

  • Forgetting things, even important ones, and leaving projects unfinished.

  • Overthinking conversations or replaying moments in your head.

  • Procrastinating but also chasing perfection.

  • Full of ideas and creativity but stuck on follow-through.

It isn’t…

  • Being “lazy” or unmotivated.

  • A lack of intelligence—you can be incredibly smart and still have ADHD.

  • Just hyperactivity—it can look like daydreaming or zoning out, too.

  • Being irresponsible—ADHD affects executive function, not effort.

  • Something you grow out of—it’s lifelong but manageable.

  • The same for everyone—ADHD shows up differently in each person.

  • Something you can “fix” by trying harder.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

  • ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a brain-based condition that affects focus, organization, impulse control, and emotional regulation. ADHD looks different across ages, gender, and individuals.

    Some common signs of ADHD include:

    • Difficulty focusing: Losing track of conversations, zoning out, or struggling to complete tasks.

    • Time challenges: Constantly running late, forgetting deadlines, or feeling like time is slipping away.

    • Emotional intensity: Being easily overwhelmed, struggling with rejection sensitivity, or feeling emotions intensely.

    • Impulsivity: Acting without thinking, interrupting, or making quick decisions that may not align with long-term goals.

    • Hyperactivity or restlessness: Feeling the need to keep moving or having a busy mind, even if you don’t appear outwardly hyperactive.

    If these patterns significantly impact daily life, relationships, or work, it’s worth looking into further. Therapy can help you recognize that ADHD isn’t just about being “scattered” or “distracted”—it’s a complex condition that deserves understanding and support.

  • Yes! Whether you have ADHD or your partner does, staying connected can be tough when you operate so differently—or when your way of doing things leads to frustration. ADHD can impact communication, emotional connection, and even conflict resolution in relationships. Therapy that’s tailored specifically for you can help you better understand your needs, communicate effectively, and build stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people in your life.

  • No, ADHD is a lifelong condition, but its symptoms can shift and change over time. With the right support, you can learn to manage it in a way that allows you to thrive in all areas of life. You may even find it’s your superpower! 

  • That’s okay. I’m not here to force tools or strategies on you that don’t align with how your brain works. Together, we’ll identify what’s been helpful and what hasn’t, then build a system that suits your strengths, energy patterns, and lifestyle. It’s about finding what actually works for you. I’m passionate about helping those with ADHD and have seen the shift my approach can make in the lives of people who have tried everything to feel “better.”
