Adult ADHD Evaluations & Skills Therapy
What If It’s Not Laziness?
A lot of adults with ADHD spend years wondering why things that seem simple for everyone else feel so hard for them. Maybe you:
Know exactly what you need to do, but still have a hard time getting started
Put things off even when you genuinely want to get them done
Start projects with good intentions and lose steam halfway through
Forget appointments, deadlines, texts, or things you meant to do
Get overwhelmed when there are too many things competing for your attention
Constantly underestimate how long things will take
Feel like your brain has 47 tabs open at once
Struggle with perfectionism or feel like you need to do things “right”
Get frustrated or overwhelmed more quickly than you’d like
Look completely put together while working really hard behind the scenes to keep everything going
Feel like you’re always trying to catch up
ADHD doesn’t always look like obvious hyperactivity. This is especially true for women, who are often diagnosed later and may spend years being treated for anxiety or depression before ADHD is recognized.
One of the most common things I hear from women diagnosed as adults is: “How did nobody notice this before?”
If any of this sounds familiar, ADHD may be worth exploring.
How I Can Help
I offer adult ADHD evaluations, medication management, and ADHD-focused skills therapy through telehealth in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
You don’t need to know exactly what kind of help you need before reaching out. Some people come to me wondering if they have ADHD. Others already have a diagnosis and want help with medication, executive functioning, or both.
🔎 ADHD Evaluations
ADHD symptoms can overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep problems, hormonal changes, chronic stress, and burnout. That’s why I look at more than a checklist - we’ll talk about what you’re struggling with now, what things were like growing up, school and work history, organization, working memory, time management, emotional regulation, mood, anxiety, sleep, and other factors that may be contributing.
I also use ADHD-specific assessment tools when appropriate.
The goal is to understand the full picture—not just whether you meet criteria for ADHD, but what may actually be making life harder and what we can do about it.
💊 ADHD Medication Management
If medication is appropriate, we’ll talk through the options together and what makes the most sense for your lifestyle. We’ll look at the symptoms you want help with, potential benefits and side effects, and most importantly, whether medication is actually making your day-to-day life easier.
Medication can be used on its own or alongside ADHD-focused therapy.
🧠 ADHD Skills Therapy
Medication can help with symptom management, but it doesn’t necessarily teach you how to start something you’ve been avoiding, organize a big project, manage your time, or create systems you’ll actually use.
That’s what we work on here.
The sessions are structured and practical, but they’re also personalized to what’s going on in your life!

Session 8 | Your Personal ADHD Toolkit
Pull together the strategies that worked best for you and make a plan for keeping them going when life gets busy.
We’ll Build Your Own ADHD Plan
This isn’t just information we talk about during an appointment. Bring the project you’ve been avoiding, the morning routine that never works, the thing you’re always late for, or the task you keep thinking about but still haven’t started; We’ll use what’s actually happening in your life to practice the skills.
After each session, I’ll send you personalized notes with what we worked on, what seemed to fit you best, and what you’ll practice before we meet again.
By the end, you’ll have your own ADHD toolkit based on your patterns, your challenges, and what actually worked for you.
The Goal
The goal isn’t to make you perfectly organized or turn you into someone who never procrastinates, forgets anything, or gets overwhelmed.
It’s to help you understand why certain things are harder for you - and give you practical ways to handle them when they come up.
You don’t need another person telling you to try harder. You need strategies that actually work for you.
