Adult ADHD Therapy
Falls Church, VA & Silver Spring, MD & Washington DC
Life with ADHD Isn’t a Lack of Willpower — It’s a Nervous System That’s Been Misunderstood
You might be here because of...
Chronic overwhelm and burnout, even around tasks that seem simple or routine for others
Difficulty with organization, follow-through, and time management, despite strong intentions and effort
A constant cycle of urgency, stress, and last-minute pressure, often accompanied by feeling behind
Emotional intensity and dysregulation, including frustration, anxiety, or shutdown under pressure
Working harder than others just to keep up, yet still worrying about performance or expectations
Long-standing self-doubt, shame, or imposter syndrome, even while knowing you’re capable and intelligent
You’re Not Broken — This Is How Adult ADHD Often Shows Up
There’s a Silver Lining: ADHD Therapy Can Help You Feel Different in Real Ways
You are not destined to “just cope.” With the right kind of therapy, you can develop regulation in your nervous system, build work-able systems that support your unique executive functions, and slowly shift from surviving to thriving.
This isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about understanding how your brain actually works and realigning how you relate to your challenges.
You’re Not Alone — These Experiences Are Common in Adult ADHD
Many adults with ADHD feel misunderstood, stuck, or like nothing they try sticks. It’s common to have:
Tried productivity tips that fade fast
Felt shame because tasks feel “easy for others”
Tried therapy or coaching that missed emotional and nervous-system depth
These are NOT personal failures — they’re predictable outcomes when ADHD is treated as a problem of willpower rather than a difference in brain wiring and executive functioning.
How ADHD Therapy Works: Not Just Coping Skills, But Real Change
Adult ADHD therapy isn’t just about “to-do lists” or shortcuts.
It’s about developing strategies that work with your brain, not against it.
This work:
Helps you understand how your ADHD brain processes attention, motivation, and executive functions
Supports you in regulating emotional intensity and overwhelm with body-aware tools
Guides you in building systems and routines that actually fit your neurobiology
Helps reduce burnout, self-criticism, and shame
Enhances clarity, confidence, and sustainable productivity
This isn’t about perfection — it’s about harnessing your strengths while addressing real challenges with nervous-system-informed care.
What You’ll Gain from This Integrative ADHD Therapy
1. Clarity About How Your ADHD Brain Works
Rather than guessing or relying on willpower, you’ll learn how attention, motivation, and impulse regulation function in your nervous system.
2. Tools for Emotional Self-Regulation
ADHD often includes dysregulation — intense frustration, shutdown, or panic — and therapy supports nervous-system regulation so these responses soften over time.
3. Personalized Systems That Work
Together, we craft tactical, brain-friendly approaches for:
Time management
Task initiation
Prioritization
Organization
These aren’t “one-size-fits-all” tools — they’re tailored to your needs based on how your brain functions.
4. Strengths-Based Growth
ADHD brings creativity, adaptability, out-of-the-box thinking, and resourcefulness. We amplify these while softening patterns that cause distress or shame.
How Is This Therapy Approach Differs from Traditional Treatment?
Many adults with ADHD experience therapy that focuses only on behavior or thoughts. While techniques like CBT can help with organization and planning, true transformation requires understanding how your nervous system and brain processing influences your behavior, emotions, and self-perception.
My approach integrates:
Nervous system and body-based awareness
Brainspotting and other bottom-up processing
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
Strengths and identity integration
Trauma-informed, neuro-affirming care
This allows you to not only manage symptoms, but shift internal patterns that have kept you stuck.
Fears Clients Often Have — and My Response
❓ “What if therapy doesn’t help me like it did for others?”
Response: Everyone’s experience with ADHD is unique. My work is not rigid — it’s tailored to your brain and nervous system. We pace this exploration together so you feel safe, understood, and supported throughout the process.
❓ “I’m afraid this will feel overwhelming or re-traumatizing.”
Response: Safety and pacing are core principles here. We work with your nervous system, not around it. You are in control of pace, depth, and timing — we never push beyond what feels supporting and manageable.
❓ “I’ve tried coaching before and didn’t get lasting results — how is this different?”
Response: Coaching alone often overlooks the emotional, nervous system, and identity layers of living with ADHD. This therapy combines practical strategy with deeper emotional support, helping you feel different from the inside out.

ADHD is not a disorder of effort or motivation. This is holistic, neuro-affirming ADHD therapy that works with your brain’s natural wiring, nervous system patterns, and lived experience.

This is more than talk therapy.

By working with the body and nervous system, therapy helps reduce overwhelm, emotional reactivity, and chronic burnout commonly experienced by adults with ADHD.
