A thoughtful, strengths-based approach to ADHD evaluation
You don’t need to arrive with the “right” words or a perfectly organized explanation. My role is to understand your experience with care and precision, so we can make sense of the full picture together.
This is a structured, paced process designed to support clarity and allow patterns to emerge over time.
-
• Recognizing less visible ADHD presentations, including inattentive patterns and high-masking adaptations
• Understanding how ADHD-related traits — creativity, intensity, hyperfocus, rapid ideation — can both support performance and contribute to burnout -
My work is grounded in a strengths-based framework that honors clients’ insight, adaptability, and lived experience. When ADHD is present, it is understood within the broader context of adulthood — not reduced to childhood stereotypes or narrow behavioral checklists.
-
Adult ADHD often presents in nuanced ways, particularly among high-achieving individuals whose difficulties may be internalized, masked, or compensated for over time.
When ADHD Isn’t Just About Focus
Many people come in looking for clarity around ADHD—wanting answers, a diagnosis, or a better understanding of how their mind works.
And often, we also begin to notice something else:
patterns of chronic stress, nervous system activation, or burnout that overlap with attention difficulties.
In those cases, therapy can become a complementary space—not instead of evaluation, but alongside it.
Questions about fit or scope?
If you’re not sure whether an ADHD evaluation or therapy would be the best next step, we can talk that through together in a brief consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Many adults come into the process unsure whether what they’re experiencing is ADHD, burnout, anxiety, or something else. The evaluation is designed to help clarify these overlapping patterns—you don’t need to have it figured out ahead of time.
-
Attention, sensory processing, and emotional regulation can overlap across different conditions. Part of the evaluation process involves understanding these patterns in context, so the outcome reflects your full experience rather than a single label.
-
It depends on what you’re looking for. Some people want diagnostic clarity, while others are more interested in support and regulation. If you’re unsure, a brief consultation can help you decide which path makes the most sense.
-
Yes. Many adults seeking evaluation were not identified in childhood. The assessment process looks at your current experience alongside patterns over time, using multiple sources of information to build a clear and accurate understanding.
-
I provide thorough clinical evaluations and documentation to support diagnosis and accommodation requests.
This includes a formal letter you can use in workplace and professional settings where documentation from a licensed psychologist is needed.
-
The process is structured, but not rigid. We move through a series of focused questions and measures, while also allowing space to understand your experience in context.
You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly organized explanation. The goal is to create clarity over time, not to test whether you “fit” a diagnosis.
