ADHD and Trauma Therapy (Adults)
I’ve come to understand how ADHD and trauma frequently overlap, bringing shared struggles: sleepless nights, inner and outer chaos, and difficulties with focus, motivation, and maintaining energy. Burnout often signals the need to slow down.
Living with trauma ,ADHD or both in many cases is complex. Symptoms that come with either can take over daily life? With 23 years of trauma-informed therapy experience, I’m here to help you reclaim clarity amidst the chaos, find balance, and make lasting changes.
ADHD is a lifelong journey of self-awareness, often requiring us to connect with parts of ourselves that can feel out of reach. I often hear individuals share, “I don’t belong, I feel different,” or “I’m trying, but no one understands me.” Trauma can deepen this feeling of disconnection, leaving us distanced from ourselves (and from others ), experiencing apathy, depression, anxiety, burnout, or a negative mindset.
The heart of my work is helping you thrive. Whether you’ve been officially diagnosed with ADHD, self-identified, or suspect you have it, and whether you’re dealing with past or recent trauma, recognising your unique journey is the first step towards healing. We’ll explore practical approaches to help you navigate your challenges and create positive change in your life. My goal is to support you in finding safety and strength in your most authentic self.
I work with a range of approaches, including psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, coaching, holistic and intergenerational trauma work, to create a therapy experience tailored to you.
Sessions are available in person and online. They provide a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feel truly heard and understood.
Therapeutic ADHD Coaching (Adults)
My therapeutic ADHD coaching blends years of therapy experience with a practical coaching approach, creating a safe, supportive space to work through present challenges. Together, we’ll explore patterns or obstacles that may be holding you back and develop a clear, step-by-step plan to help you reach your goals.
Our sessions offer more than immediate support—they’re a chance to clarify your goals, build resilience, and develop skills that bring greater confidence and purpose to your daily life. Whether your focus is on improving relationships, enhancing well-being, or working through specific challenges, we’ll move forward at a pace that feels right for you, with no set number of sessions required.
For clients navigating trauma, therapy sessions are recommended, as these allow us to engage in the deeper emotional work trauma recovery requires. Coaching sessions focus on practical strategies and are best suited for managing ADHD challenges and working toward personal goals.
Couples Therapy for ADHD Challenges
ADHD can sometimes make communication and connection feel just out of reach, creating a sense of distance in relationships that’s hard to bridge. Whether you’re navigating ADHD within your relationship, parenting a child with ADHD, or both, these challenges can feel overwhelming at times.
I offer a supportive space to help you understand the ways ADHD might influence your interactions—whether through impulsivity, distractibility, heightened emotional responses, or the added demands of parenting.
Together, we’ll explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, focusing on the areas that matter most to you.
In our sessions, you’ll discover tools to communicate more openly, manage frustrations, and develop routines that support each other’s needs. We’ll focus on rebuilding trust, deepening your connection, and finding ways to thrive as a couple and as a family.
