ADHD & Neurodivergence-Affirming Therapy in Phoenix, AZ (and online across Arizona)
Feeling Like Your Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open?
Living with an ADHD or neurodivergent brain can feel like you’re always running to catch up. One moment you’re staring at your never-ending to-do list, the next you’re searching for your lost keys (again), or feeling that familiar knot in your stomach because your brain won’t stop jumping from thought to thought. It’s honestly exhausting to push yourself into a mold that just wasn’t made for you. Most people don’t see how much effort goes into getting through a typical day, and it can leave you feeling out of place, overwhelmed, and wondering if you'll ever get a break.
The Spiral of "Shoulds" and "What Ifs"
When it feels like everyone else got the manual for “how to be a person,” it’s easy to get stuck in your head, replaying mistakes and worrying about the next one. Maybe you’ve faced criticism from work, school, or even loved ones because your brain works in unexpected ways. That can pile on guilt, anxiety, and stress. And if you’re figuring out your queer identity, navigating cultural expectations, or wrestling with faith, it’s even heavier. You’re juggling more than just ADHD, you’re questioning where you fit in. That’s a lonely place to be, but you don’t have to stay there.
Find Your Flow and Celebrate Who You Are
What if you could stop fighting your brain and start working with it? Therapy is your chance to let go of the act. Here you get to show up as your full, real self – no explanations needed. Together, we’ll get curious about how your neurodivergent mind works (yes, ADHD has strengths too), and build practical strategies that work with your brain's wiring to help with executive function, motivation, and emotional overwhelm. We’ll figure out how to use your real-world experiences to create routines that actually stick, lower your anxiety, and break out of the shame spiral. If you're interested in creative approaches, you can also join the ADHD Art Therapy Group: a space designed to explore your neurodivergence through self-expression, art, and supportive community. Most of all, we’ll center this work around self-acceptance, so you can see your neurodivergence as a part of you, not a problem to fix.
What to Expect in ADHD & Neurodivergence-Affirming Therapy
Get To Know Your Brain: We’ll dig into what neurodivergence and ADHD look like in real life, using your daily wins and struggles as our guide
Support For Symptoms: Together, we’ll try out realistic tools for focus, organization, and time management (don't worry, there won't be any generic hacks or “just try harder” BS)
Bring Your Whole Self: Sessions welcome every facet of your identity: queer, questioning, spiritual journey, and everything else that matters to you and makes you distinctly who you are
Rooted in Justice & Culture: We’ll acknowledge how systemic oppression and societal bias impact your mental health, actively reject Eurocentric norms in therapy, and make sure every step honors your lived experience and unique cultural context
Recover from Burnout and Shame: Let’s process the old stories about “being too much” or “not enough” in a world built for neurotypical folks. We’ll make room for self-compassion and a gentler way forward, but most importantly we'll emphasize the strengths that your neurodivergence brings to your life
Making Therapy Work for You
It shouldn’t feel impossible just to access support. My practice is designed to honor how your mind is wired, centering therapy around your needs, not outdated expectations. Here, we take a decolonized approach: actively acknowledging how systemic oppression and Eurocentric norms have shaped traditional mental health care, and instead creating space that genuinely fits you. Your lived experiences and unique cultural context guide everything we do together.
This is your space to get curious, to heal, and to grow into the most honest version of yourself. If you’re ready to finally feel seen and understood, let’s connect.
