Adult ADHD

ADHD doesn’t just affect children. Many adults live with it too. You might find yourself starting projects but struggling to finish them, misplacing important items, forgetting deadlines, or feeling pulled in several directions at once. These challenges can be discouraging when they affect work, relationships, or daily life. At the same time, many people with ADHD also bring creativity, energy, and unique problem-solving skills.

Some common ways ADHD can show up in adulthood include:

• Frequently misplacing keys, wallet, or phone

• Starting projects with enthusiasm but struggling to finish

• Forgetting appointments or deadlines despite reminders

• Feeling easily distracted by noise, notifications, or side tasks

• Procrastinating until the last minute, then rushing under pressure

• Struggling to stick to routines or stay organized

• Difficulty sustaining attention in conversations or work tasks

• Chronic disorganization across areas of life (work, home, finances)

• Impulsive decision-making, such as overspending or interrupting others

• Emotional reactivity—frustration, impatience, or irritability

• Hyperfocus on certain tasks, sometimes at the expense of other priorities

• Trouble with working memory, like holding instructions in mind or recalling details

In therapy, I work with adults to both understand how ADHD shows up in their lives and to develop strategies that create real change. Together, we’ll focus on practical tools such as building routines, improving task follow-through, and managing distractions while also addressing the emotional side of ADHD, such as stress, frustration, or self-doubt.

My approach blends skill-building with self-compassion, so you can feel more confident and capable in daily life. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have long managed ADHD on your own, therapy can help you harness your strengths, reduce overwhelm, and create systems that work for you.
