ADHD in Therapy
ADHD is often underdiagnosed in women, leaving many feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsupported. Challenges like forgetfulness, time management struggles, and heightened emotional sensitivity can make it especially difficult to keep up with the demands of life.

My approach offers practical, personalized strategies designed to help you move through daily life with clarity, confidence, and balance.
