Therapy for Adults Navigating ADHD, Anxiety, and Trauma

Mindful Solutions for the Neurodivergent Mind

You weren’t lazy. You were in survival mode.
As a kid, you were told to sit still, try harder, stop being “so dramatic.” You learned to overperform, people-please, and ignore your own needs—just to avoid being labeled difficult, selfish, or too much.

Now, you’re putting the pieces together.
You’ve likely diagnosed one of your parents. You’re realizing ADHD is genetic—and that the anxiety, chaos, and emotional unpredictability of your childhood wasn’t your fault. You were raised by someone who didn’t have the tools to emotionally support you, and it shaped how you show up in relationships: always anticipating rejection, afraid to need too much, constantly hustling for worth.

ADHD with a trauma history isn’t about attention—it’s about protection.
Your nervous system adapted to keep you safe, not still. That hypervigilance, that drive to go above and beyond, that burnout? It all makes sense now.

You’re not too much. You’ve just never had the kind of support that honors your wiring and your story.
It’s time for that to change.

ADHD and Trauma Therapy for Adults: Heal the Past, Rewire the Brain, and Build a Better Future

Trauma responses in ADHD

ADHD and Trauma Often Go Hand-in-Hand

  • Many adults with ADHD also carry unresolved trauma—whether it stems from childhood experiences, academic struggles, medical trauma, or years of feeling misunderstood. Trauma doesn’t have to be one catastrophic event. Sometimes it’s the cumulative weight of being told you’re “too much,” “not trying hard enough,” or “too sensitive.”

    This combination can leave you:

    • Feeling stuck in cycles of shame or self-sabotage

    • Avoiding tasks, relationships, or responsibilities due to overwhelm

    • Struggling with executive functioning even after trying every “life hack” out there

    • Battling people-pleasing tendencies while ignoring your own needs

    • Stuck between knowing what to do and actually doing it

    Let’s break that cycle together.

What My ADHD and Trauma Therapy Looks Like

As a licensed professional counselor, special education teacher, and ADHD specialist, I understand the brain—both how it functions and how it responds to chronic stress and trauma. My background in education and therapy allows me to combine practical strategies with emotional healing, so you’re not just managing symptoms—you’re actually rewiring patterns and reclaiming control.
I offer brain-based, trauma-informed therapy designed for how your brain processes emotions, information, and stress. My sessions are collaborative, compassionate, and focused on practical change. This is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can finally exhale.

You’ll learn:

  • How trauma rewires the ADHD brain and how we can gently unlearn those survival habits

  • Tools to regulate your nervous system, increase motivation, and reduce burnout

  • Functional ways to approach time, organization, and communication (without shaming yourself)

  • How to say “no” without guilt, and “yes” to what actually serves you

  • What your symptoms are trying to tell you—and how to work with your brain, not against it.

  • Understanding your triggers and stress responses

  • Rebuilding routines that support your nervous system

  • Improving time management and task initiation

  • Regulating emotions and reducing reactivity

  • Unlearning patterns like people-pleasing or masking

And in just 30 minutes, you’ll walk away from each session with clarity, groundedness, and something you can actually use in your day-to-day life.
