YOU CAN'T TREAT WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

Working with clients who have ADHD can be complex — and most of us didn’t get the training we needed in graduate school. I offer clinical consultation for therapists, counselors, and providers who want to deepen their ADHD-informed work.

In consultation, we can explore:

  • How ADHD shows up in therapy rooms (and gets missed)

  • Case consultation & treatment planning.

  • The intersection of ADHD, trauma, and shame

  • Strategies that go beyond productivity hacks.

  • Building a neurodivergent-affirming practice

REQUEST A CLINICAL CONSULTATION

Being ADHD-informed isn’t optional. It’s necessary. If you’re a therapist, coach, prescriber, or helping professional, you’re already working with neurodivergent clients—whether you realize it or not. My consulting work helps you move beyond good intentions and into grounded, shame-aware, ADHD-informed care. Together, we’ll untangle the overlap of trauma and neurodivergence, expand your confidence, and give you practical tools you can use right away.

Why ADHD-Informed Care Matters

Working with neurodivergent clients takes more than good intentions. It means unlearning pathologizing frameworks, navigating nuance, and recognizing what ADHD actually looks like in real life — not just in textbooks.

For women and non-binary folks, ADHD often shows up as shutdown, perfectionism, or chronic shame. Clients may spiral in patterns that look like trauma but don’t respond to trauma work alone.

That’s why ADHD-informed consulting isn’t just helpful — it’s the foundation for ethical, effective, and affirming care across every provider role.

Being ADHD-informed isn’t optional. It’s necessary.

Working with neurodivergent clients requires more than just good intentions. It takes unlearning pathologizing frameworks, navigating nuance, and understanding what ADHD and sensory differences actually look like in real life-not just in textbooks.

ADHD in women rarely looks like fidgeting and blurting out answers.

It looks like shutdown. Perfectionism. Chronic shame. It looks like clients who keep spiraling in patterns that sound like trauma but don’t respond to trauma work alone.

How I Support Therapists & Other Providers

Case Consults

Bring a specific client case, and we’ll walk through it together — from assessment questions to treatment planning to the sneaky ways neurodivergence and trauma can overlap or get misread. Perfect if you’re feeling stuck or unsure how to move forward with a complex case, whether you’re a therapist, coach, prescriber, or other care provider.

Conceptualization Support

Not sure how to frame what’s going on with your client? Let’s unpack their story through a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed lens. We’ll move away from pathology and toward understanding — so you can show up more grounded, confident, and clear in your role as a helping professional.

Tangible Tools & Resources

This is where theory meets practice. I’ll share scripts, worksheets, prompts, reframes, and creative strategies you can bring into your work immediately. These aren’t generic handouts — they’re tools I use every week with my own neurodivergent clients, and they can be adapted across many provider settings.

Lived Experience + Clinical Insight

I’ve been doing this work for years — and I live it. I’m a late-diagnosed ADHDer, a therapist, and someone who understands how hard this work can be from the inside. Whether you’re a therapist, coach, prescriber, or another helping professional, you won’t have to over-explain here. I get it, and I’ve got you.

What sets me apart as an ADHD consultant?

There are plenty of voices out there offering ADHD tools and strategies. But here’s what I believe:

The foundation of effective care for ADHDers isn’t a checklist or executive functioning hacks. It’s nervous system regulation and deconstructing shame. Until a client feels safe in their body — and believes they’re worth supporting — no planner or system will stick.

Before any of that can happen, neurodivergent clients also need space to grieve, unmask, and stop chasing neurotypical expectations they were never built to meet.

In my consulting work, I help therapists, coaches, prescribers, and other care providers support that process with compassion, clarity, and a lens that honors both the science and the lived experience.
