Dealing with adult or child hood ADHD?
Meet the expert!
Meet Deidre, the adult and childhood ADHD expert
Life can feel overwhelming when ADHD impacts your ability to focus, stay organized, manage emotions, or navigate relationships. Whether you're a parent struggling with challenging behaviors, an adult feeling frustrated by procrastination and overwhelm, or a child having difficulty at home or school, you don't have to figure it out alone. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD and related concerns including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, emotion regulation, executive functioning and behavioral challenges.
For children and teens, I work with them directly and partner with parents and caregivers to develop practical strategies to improve functioning. For adults, I provide support in managing executive functioning challenges. Together we create a plan to improve confidence, communication, executive functioning, behavior management and reduce self-criticism.
My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative and strength-based. I believe every individual has unique strengths and abilitirs needed to make meaningful change. I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel understood, empwered and challenged. Whether you're looking for support for yourself, your child or family, let's partner for change.
My
Clinical Approach
Clinical
Every person comes with a unique story, strengths, and challenges. I work collaboratively with you to clarify meaningful goals, whether you are managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting stress, or navigating life transitions. My approach blends empathic listening, practical strategies, and a touch of humor to make growth feel grounded and attainable.
For individuals who are driven, responsible, and often the ones others depend on, therapy can feel unfamiliar. You may be used to holding everything together, solving problems quickly, and pushing through discomfort. Slowing down or allowing yourself to be vulnerable may not come naturally. In our work, we approach this thoughtfully and with structure, helping you manage pressure, quiet self-criticism, set sustainable boundaries, and build resilience without losing the ambition and standards that matter to you.
For parents, I understand how heavy the role can feel. Whether you are navigating behavioral challenges, ADHD, emotional regulation concerns, or the constant mental load of caregiving, we focus on practical tools you can use immediately at home. At the same time, we make space for your own stress, frustration, and self-doubt, because caring for yourself is directly connected to caring for your family.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop realistic strategies you can apply in daily life. I also draw from a person-centered foundation, creating a supportive space where you feel understood while we move forward with clarity and intention.
Making the choice to begin this process reflects intention, self-awareness, and courage. You do not have to navigate challenges alone. With the right support, growth becomes not only possible, but sustainable.
