VIRTUAL ADHD COUNSELING IN SEATTLE & ACROSS WASHINGTON
Your ADHD brain isn't broken—it’s wired differently.
Therapy that helps you understand your ADHD—not just manage it.
How is everyone else making this look so easy?
One day, you’re deep-cleaning the whole house and color-coding your files. The next, you can’t even bring yourself to load the dishwasher.
Your brain turns a basic grocery list into Everest—but you can spend six hours researching the perfect houseplant.
You’ve tried every planner, app, and system out there, convinced this time you’ll finally get it together.
But your ADHD brain doesn’t care about color-coded calendars. You forget things seconds after thinking “I need to remember this”—then hyperfocus on something totally unrelated for hours.
You’re not lazy. You’re tired—of forcing yourself into systems that weren’t made for how your mind works.
It’s not laziness. It’s how your brain copes in a world that wasn’t built for it.
ADHD treatment can help you:
Understand how your ADHD brain works—and build systems that support it rather than fight it
Develop self-compassion and quiet the inner critic that says you’re “not trying hard enough”
Align with your natural energy cycles instead of forcing yourself into neurotypical routines
Address the shame, burnout, and masking that come from trying to “keep up”
Recognize your unique strengths—and learn how to turn them into tools, not traps
Untangle the anxiety and depression that often show up alongside ADHD, especially when it’s been overlooked
MY APPROACH
ADHD isn’t a deficit—it’s a different operating system that just needs a better manual.
We’ll begin by exploring how ADHD shows up in your daily life—your work, your relationships, your routines. My approach blends practices like meditation and self-inquiry with practical, personalized strategies designed to match the way your mind actually works.
This isn’t about forcing productivity hacks or chasing a “perfect” routine made for neurotypical brains. It’s about honoring what you’ve already tried, understanding the patterns that keep you stuck, and listening to what your ADHD is truly trying to communicate.
The goal isn’t to “fix” you—it’s to help you deeply understand yourself and build a life that works with your natural wiring, not against it.
THROUGHOUT OUR WORK TOGETHER,
We’ll explore how your ADHD brain actually works—dopamine regulation, nervous system responses, rejection sensitivity, time blindness, and emotional intensity. Not to pathologize—but to understand yourself with clarity and compassion.
You’ll build awareness of your energy rhythms, emotional cycles, and the hidden strengths your mind brings to the world. Using mindfulness and self-inquiry, we’ll uncover what your emotions and behaviors are trying to communicate—beyond just symptom management.
This is a collaborative process, paced with care and grounded in presence. We’ll integrate what we uncover through body-based awareness, conscious breathing, and meditation. The goal isn’t to mold you into a neurotypical ideal—it’s to help you reconnect with your authentic self and feel at home in how your brain truly works.
The truth about ADHD:
It is…
A different way your brain processes information and engages with the world
Time feeling like it moves too fast or too slow—rarely “just right”
Emotions that hit harder and feel tougher to regulate
Forgetting important things while remembering random details perfectly
Bursts of brilliant ideas with inconsistent follow-through
Craving stimulation just to feel focused or present
Feeling deeply sensitive to rejection, criticism, or being misunderstood
It isn't…
A lack of willpower or “laziness”
A sign of low intelligence—many people with ADHD are gifted or highly creative
Just hyperactivity—it can also look like zoning out, avoiding tasks, or inner chaos
A character flaw or moral failure
Something you outgrow—it’s a lifelong neurodevelopmental difference
The same for everyone—ADHD is highly individualized
A matter of “trying harder” or pushing through
Break free from shame—and start embracing who you are.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
ADHD is a neurological difference that affects how your brain processes information, regulates attention, and manages emotions. It’s not just a checklist of deficits, think of it as a different operating system with its own patterns and strengths.
Some common experiences include:
Attention patterns: Deep focus on interesting things, difficulty with boring tasks, easily distracted by internal thoughts or external stimuli
Time perception: Running late despite best intentions, losing track of time, difficulty estimating how long tasks will take
Emotional intensity: Feeling emotions more deeply, rejection sensitivity, quick shifts between emotional states
Executive function: Trouble with organization, planning, and follow-through, even when you know what needs to be done
Energy regulation: Periods of high energy and hyperfocus alternating with mental fatigue or restlessness
If these patterns significantly impact your daily life, relationships, or sense of self, it's worth exploring further. Remember, ADHD isn't about being "broken"—it's about understanding how your unique brain works.

ADHD brains are naturally drawn to gaming because games provide the intense stimulation and immediate feedback that ADHD minds crave. Games offer constant dopamine hits through achievements, level-ups, and rewards—something that can be harder to find in everyday tasks that feel boring or understimulating.
Many people with ADHD use gaming as a way to regulate their emotions and escape feelings of inadequacy, rejection sensitivity, or overwhelm from the neurotypical world. Games create a space where ADHD traits like hyperfocus can actually feel like strengths rather than problems.
However, this can become problematic when gaming becomes the primary way to feel competent and engaged, leading to neglect of other areas of life. The shame cycle then intensifies—feeling bad about gaming "too much," which leads to more gaming to escape those feelings.
Understanding this connection isn't about eliminating gaming, but about developing awareness of what your gaming habits are trying to tell you about your needs. We'll explore healthier ways to get that stimulation and sense of accomplishment while creating a more balanced relationship with digital spaces.

ADHD is a lifelong neurological difference, but how it shows up can change significantly over time. With understanding and the right approaches, many people find their ADHD becomes less of a struggle and more of a different way of being in the world.
Instead of just managing ADHD, this approach focuses on understanding your brain's natural patterns and working with them. Many people discover that their ADHD traits, when properly understood and supported, can actually become sources of creativity, innovation, and unique perspective.

Most strategies are designed for neurotypical brains—then awkwardly adapted for ADHD. That’s why they don’t stick. We’ll do something different.
That's exactly why this approach is different. Most ADHD strategies are designed for neurotypical brains and then modified for ADHD—which often doesn't work. Instead of giving you another planner or time management system, we'll explore what your brain is actually trying to tell you and develop approaches that honor your natural wiring.
We'll examine what you've tried before, understand why it didn't work for your specific brain, and build something entirely new based on self-awareness and authentic understanding. This isn't about forcing yourself into systems that don't fit—it's about discovering how you naturally function best.
