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

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.

What Makes My Approach Different
🧠 Brain-Based & Trauma-Informed
You’ll never hear me tell you to “just try harder.” I combine neuroscience, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies that actually fit the ADHD experience.
🎮 Creative + Individualized
Whether you thrive through visual tools, metaphor, humor, or gamified strategies—we’ll build a plan that aligns with you. (And if you’re a fan of games or pop culture, don’t be surprised if it shows up in our work!)
💬 Real Talk, Real Results
My sessions are collaborative, down-to-earth, and results-oriented. No fluff. Just real conversations and tangible change, at your pace.
🌿 Women’s Wellness & Life Transitions
If you’re navigating ADHD during perimenopause, postpartum, or after years of masking—it’s never too late to explore new ways of living. I offer a safe, affirming space to untangle the layers and start fresh.

Not only can she provide me with many practical tools to cope with ADHD, she is also very empathetic and experienced. I highly recommend her!! Katie Cannon2025-03-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I truly thought I was hopelessly broken before I started working with Victoria. At the beginning I even told her, "Yeah this is not going to work." Working with someone who specializes in ADHD has made all the difference. I thought I just had to white knuckle through life, but she gave me the tools to rewire my brain and build a life that works for me.. I genuinely did not think this level of freedom was possible. She's incredibly creative and adaptive in her approach. Something else that has been difficult for me in the past is finding a therapist who can stick to a treatment plan and a goal. She keeps me on task and I can see measurable progress- that is very motivating! It hasn't been easy, but I have seen real change in my life that I have not seen before.
