Supporting Adult ADHD in Woodland Hills
I provide specialized adult ADHD therapy and executive functioning coaching for individuals navigating burnout, time management challenges, emotional dysregulation, and task initiation struggles. My integrative approach combines mindfulness grounding, existential therapy, and strengths-based coaching to help you transform focus into a trainable skill rather than a fixed trait.
Core Challenges Addressed in Adult ADHD Support
My practice provides targeted support designed to help neurodivergent adults move past chronic overwhelm and regain personal agency.
| ADHD Challenge Area | Clinical and Practical Focus | Therapeutic Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Dysfunction | Addressing friction with task initiation, organization, prioritization, and completion. | Practical, tailored systems that align with your natural cognitive style. |
| Emotional Dysregulation and Shame | Working through emotional reactivity, rejection sensitivity, and negative self-talk. | Greater self-compassion, emotional stability, and shame reduction. |
| Time Blindness and Overwhelm | Developing realistic time estimation and managing sensory or cognitive overload. | Reduced burnout and sustainable pacing throughout your work and personal life. |
| Relational Impact | Navigating communication gaps, misinterpretations, and partner dynamics affected by ADHD. | Clearer boundaries, mutual understanding, and improved relational connection. |
My Integrated Clinical and Coaching Methodology
I combine evidence-based clinical modalities with actionable executive function coaching to support long-term growth.
- Comprehensive Strengths-Based Assessment: We evaluate your unique cognitive patterns and existing internal resources rather than viewing your executive functioning through a purely deficit-based model.
- Mindfulness and Somatic Focus Building: Drawing from mindfulness practice as well as my background in martial arts and archery, I help you cultivate present-moment stillness and emotional grounding as trainable skills.
- Existential Reframing and Identity Alignment: We explore the existential frustration, shame, and self-doubt that often arise from trying to conform to neurotypical expectations.
- Practical System Design and Environmental Modification: We create non-rigid, flexible frameworks for task management, schedule structuring, and environmental modifications tailored to your lifestyle.
- Comprehensive Coordinated Care: When appropriate, I proactively advocate for and utilize Releases of Information (ROIs) to consult with your medical providers, individual care team, or partners to ensure unified care.
Why Choose Neurodiversity-Affirming ADHD Support?
- Non-Pathologizing Lens: I view executive dysfunction and neurological differences as variations to be understood and accommodated rather than character defects.
- Actionable and Grounded Tools: Therapy balances deep emotional processing with concrete strategies you can apply to daily routines.
- Support for Masking and Burnout: Specialized guidance for high-achieving adults, creatives, and professionals who struggle silently behind external success.
