THERAPY FOR ADHD
When I support clients with ADHD, my approach is collaborative, practical, and deeply compassionate. ADHD can bring unique challenges, difficulty focusing, overwhelm, emotional reactivity, rumination, or feeling chronically “behind.”
But it also comes with strengths, creativity, and resilience. My work centers on helping you understand your brain, reduce shame, and build skills that actually fit your life.
We start with understanding your story, not just your symptoms.
Using narrative therapy, we explore how ADHD has been talked about in your life, by family, teachers, partners, and even your own inner voice. Together we look at which parts of that story belong to you, and which ones were placed on you. This helps separate you from the problem and makes space for agency, confidence, and self-compassion.
Then we build tools that support your day-to-day life.
I weave in CBT and practical strategies to help with things like:
Managing overwhelm and rumination
Breaking tasks into achievable steps
Creating routines that are flexible and realistic
Reducing anxiety around performance and expectations
Strengthening emotional regulation and impulse awareness
These skills are personalized; there’s no one-size-fits-all ADHD plan. We figure out what actually works for your brain.
We also work with the body.
Because ADHD is as much felt in the nervous system as it is in the mind, sessions often include grounding strategies, pacing, and building awareness of how activation shows up physically. As a nature-based therapist, I offer walk-and-talk sessions in Squamish for clients who find movement helps them think more clearly and stay regulated.
Your relationships matter, too.
Many clients come in navigating ADHD within their partnerships or families. We name the patterns, unpack communication cycles, and build tools for clearer conversations, boundaries, and emotional connection; leaving shame behind.
Overall, our work is about helping you create a life that fits your brain, rather than trying to force your brain to fit someone else’s expectations.
You don’t have to tackle ADHD alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out at once. We move at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.
