Manage ADHD With Professional Counseling
“My brain either won’t shut up or won’t turn on.”
“I’m not lazy—I just can’t stay consistent no matter how hard I try.”
“I start things with so much energy, and then I just… drop them.”
“I wish my brain would just cooperate with what I want.”
“A person with ADHD has strengths and weaknesses; they struggle to thrive in certain environments, but they aren’t powerless to create change. Adding supports and skillsets can make a big difference. Book a free first session and let’s talk.”

Principles of Therapy for ADHD
How does it work? Here are some core concepts:
Understand Patterns
Learn how ADHD shows up in your attention, emotions, and behavior so you can better recognize what’s happening without self-blame.
Enhance Your Toolkit
Develop practical strategies and coping skills that help you manage focus, organization, impulsivity, and emotional regulation.
Shape Your Environment
Adjust your surroundings and routines to reduce friction and make it easier to stay on track and follow through.
Strengthen Your Mind
Build self-awareness, self-compassion, and mental flexibility so setbacks feel less discouraging and more workable.
Add Helpful Supports
Put external structures and people in place—like reminders, accountability, and support systems—to help you stay consistent and supported.
What techniques do you use?
I utilize many modalities to meet the needs of my clients, but here are my primary techniques!
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy gives you a firm understanding of how your mind and emotions work, plus techniques for managing them.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps you live a fulfilling life through your values and accept what you cannot change.
Existential Therapy
Existential Therapy deals with your conception of people, the universe, and yourself to increase life satisfaction and fearlessness.
What populations do you serve?
I serve a wide range of populations, but here are some that I tend to be a good fit with.
Gen Z (18-29)
New technology has radically changed the world, forcing Gen Z to adapt to new problems that previous generations never had to face.
Millennials (30-45)
Being a Millennial myself, I understand the societal and generational problems that many of these men face.
Teenagers (13-17)
Finding their identity, I frequently challenge teens to think about what they want from their life and bear personal responsibility.
Christians
Being a Christian myself, I frequently incorporate faith and spirituality into therapy for clients who request it. However I serve clients from all backgrounds!
Gamers & Geeks
As a massive nerd and storyteller, I often utilize media references and metaphors to help clients understand concepts!
