Why ADHD in Adults Matters

ADHD is not just a childhood diagnosis—it affects millions of adults and can often go undiagnosed or misunderstood, especially in women, BIPOC, and high-achieving individuals. ADHD shows up as persistent challenges with attention, organization, time management, and emotional regulation—not a lack of intelligence or motivation.

I offer ADHD therapy in Boulder, Colorado that helps clients better understand their brains, reduce shame, and develop tools that support executive functioning and self-worth.

Compassionate, Evidence-Based Support for Adults with ADHD

Signs and Symptoms of ADHD in Adults

ADHD can manifest differently for each person. While some experience classic hyperactivity, others present with inattentiveness, emotional reactivity, or a mix of both. Common symptoms include:

Inattentive Symptoms:

  • Difficulty focusing or sustaining attention

  • Frequently losing items or forgetting details

  • Struggling to follow through on tasks

  • Easily distracted by external or internal stimuli

  • Chronic procrastination or disorganization

  • Trouble starting or completing long-term projects

Hyperactive/Impulsive Symptoms:

  • Restlessness or difficulty sitting still

  • Interrupting or talking over others

  • Impulsive decision-making or risk-taking

  • Feeling "on edge" or unable to relax

  • Frequent mood swings or frustration

  • Difficulty waiting or managing delays

ADHD can impact school, work, relationships, parenting, and self-esteem—often leaving clients feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, or “too much.” The truth is: your brain works differently, and therapy can help you learn to work with it, not against it.

How I Treat ADHD: Evidence-Based, Holistic Support

I provide a neurodiversity-affirming, strength-based approach to ADHD treatment, focusing on both symptom relief and emotional well-being. My work is grounded in evidence-based modalities and adapted for your unique life and goals.

Modalities I Use for ADHD Treatment:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for ADHD
    Helps reframe negative thought patterns, improve planning and prioritization, and develop practical skills for time and task management.

  • Executive Function Coaching
    Addresses real-world skills like breaking down tasks, building routines, and sustaining focus—especially useful for students, professionals, or creatives.

  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
    Supports emotional regulation, self-awareness, and managing impulsivity by strengthening present-moment focus.

  • Self-Compassion and Shame Resilience Work
    Many adults with ADHD have internalized years of criticism or felt like they were “failing at life.” I integrate self-compassion practices to help clients let go of shame and build confidence.

  • Trauma-Informed Care
    Recognizes that untreated ADHD symptoms often coexist with trauma or have been misdiagnosed as anxiety, depression, or personality disorders—especially in women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent clients.

ADHD Therapy in Boulder, Colorado: Local and Inclusive

Living in Boulder, a city known for its academic, entrepreneurial, and outdoor communities, ADHD can be masked by perfectionism or “overachievement.” You may appear highly functional while silently battling distraction, burnout, and self-doubt.

My practice offers therapy for ADHD that is both local and accessible—with in-person sessions in Boulder and teletherapy for clients across Colorado. I honor the diverse ways ADHD shows up and aim to create a space where clients feel seen, empowered, and supported.

ADHD isn’t a character flaw or a lack of willpower. With the right tools and compassionate guidance, you can build systems that support your growth, confidence, and creativity.
