You figured out you had ADHD later in life.

You made it through school and achieved things despite the scattered mind you were dealing with. You have high functioning ADHD.

Many adults with ADHD in San Francisco come to therapy after years of pushing themselves to keep everything together. You’ve developed some great coping skills. You did well academically… okay, it was a hot mess, but you got it done. While you have the same diploma as everyone else in your graduating class, it was chaos getting there. You always found a way to pull it off, but the stress was exhausting on the way.

At work, you perform best under pressure. When things slow down, it’s ironically harder to stay on track. It’s almost impossible to keep up with the everyday mundane tasks (emails, paperwork, etc.). You’re capable and creative, but constantly a little behind.

But life is more complex in your 20’s & 30’s…

As adult responsibilities start piling up, the coping strategies that worked before (pulling all-nighters, running on caffeine, waiting until the last minute to start) begin to unravel. It suddenly feels impossible to keep up with everything — showing up for work on time, cooking meals (does peanut butter count?), managing bills, doing dishes, taking care of your family — without becoming so overwhelmed you want to give up.

Many adults with ADHD reach this point after years of pushing themselves to keep everything together.

And waiting until it’s a crisis to get things done is slowly eating away at your self esteem.

Your friends are mad that you’re late (again). You tense up when an email from your boss appears, certain she’s finally noticed how behind you are. Some of the items on your to-do list have been there for months— maybe years.

You bounce between intense excitement about a new project or hobby (ice skating! crocheting! learning Spanish!) — buying everything you could possibly need to excel — and the paralysis of staring at a dozen half-finished projects. The initial spark fades, and suddenly even the things that matter most feel impossible to finish.

If other people are annoyed with you, it’s nothing compared to the intense frustration you feel with yourself. This is often the moment adults begin looking for ADHD therapy.

Living in San Francisco, you’re surrounded by driven, ‘successful’ people.

It’s hard not to compare yourself to the friends around you who just seem so together.

They’re saving for retirement while you’re trying to untangle credit card debt. They have plans for a family while you’re overwhelmed by the thought of just taking care of yourself.

For many adults with ADHD, this constant comparison quietly erodes confidence.

You don’t necessarily want to be just like them, but you find yourself wishing things felt easier. You want to be able to finish tasks, stay organized and follow-through.

You don’t want to need intensity and last-minute stress to do the things that matter to you.

Your mind isn’t broken.

You just haven’t been given the right tools
to let your strengths shine.

Learning how to use your ADHD strengths is a skill that can be learned.

People with ADHD are often exuberant, charismatic and funny. They can be exceptional problem solvers with striking levels of determination. Their sensitivity and rich inner worlds give them a deep appreciation for art, music, and people. They take risks and follow their instincts with a courage others often admire.

But those same traits can become overwhelming without the right support.

Through ADHD therapy, you can learn how your mind works and develop ways of living that allow your creativity, curiosity, and drive to work for you.

Therapy isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about learning how to work with the mind you have.

I can conduct a thorough assessment and provide a definitive ADHD diagnosis if that’s something you’re seeking. In therapy, we work experientially and depth oriented, helping you ground into your body, understand your patterns, and build ways of moving through life that support your ambitions rather than derail them.
