ADHD Therapy for Adults
I provide ADHD informed virtual therapy for adults across Canada, with a special focus on women and late diagnosis. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, burned out, ashamed, or frustrated by patterns they have never fully understood.
​
A late ADHD diagnosis often brings both relief and grief. Relief in finally understanding yourself. Grief in looking back at years of struggle through a new lens. Therapy offers a space to process both.
How ADHD Can Show Up in Adulthood
ADHD does not always look like hyperactivity. Many adults experience:
• Chronic overwhelm and mental overload
• Difficulty with follow-through and consistency
• Emotional reactivity and sensitivity
• Procrastination and avoidance
• Time blindness and disorganization
• Burnout from masking and over-compensating
• Harsh self-criticism and shame
• Relationship strain and miscommunication
​
Many adults, especially women, go undiagnosed for years and internalize these struggles as personal failures.
​
They are not.
What ADHD Informed Therapy Looks Like
Therapy is not about forcing your brain to work differently. It is about understanding how your brain already works and learning to support it with compassion and strategy.
​
Our work may include:
• Emotional regulation and nervous system support
• Focus, follow through, and task initiation strategies
• Reducing shame and self blame
• Addressing burnout and chronic overwhelm
• Boundary setting and energy management
• Understanding masking and people pleasing
• Identity shifts after late diagnosis
• Self acceptance and sustainable change
​
Everything is paced to your capacity, not forced through willpower.
ADHD and Women
Many women with ADHD grow up learning to mask, over function, people please, and push through exhaustion. They are often diagnosed after burnout, parenting stress, or midlife transitions.
​
I work with women navigating:
• Late ADHD diagnosis
• Hormonal changes and mood shifts
• Caregiver burnout
• Identity loss
• Chronic guilt
• Over-responsibility
• Emotional overload
​
You are not failing. You are likely overwhelmed and unsupported.
A Lived Experience Lense
I was diagnosed with ADHD later in life. That experience informs my work in a deeply personal and grounded way. I understand the validation, grief, clarity, and identity shift that can come with finally having language for your experience.
​
You will never be told to just “try harder” here.
You Do Not Need a Diagnosis to Begin
You do not need a formal diagnosis to work with me. If you recognize yourself in these patterns, therapy can still help.
