ADHD Therapy for Women in Minneapolis, MN
Your brain isn’t the problem; it just needs the right support
Most women with ADHD spent decades before their diagnosis believing they were lazy,
ADHD in women does not always look like the hyperactive kid in the back of the
classroom. It looks like losing your keys every morning, reading the same paragraph four
times, saying yes to everything and then being overwhelmed by all of it, and feeling like
everyone else has a manual for life that you never received.
I offer ADHD therapy for women in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area who are ready
to finally understand how their brain works, and build strategies that work with it,
not against it. Many of my ADHD clients also carry trauma, and the two often
interact in ways that amplify both. I work with the full picture.
You find yourself…
Struggling with focus, time management, or follow-through, even on the things you care most about. Living with ADHD or being neurodivergent often means hearing you’re “too much” or “not enough,” when in reality your brain works differently. It’s not about being broken; it’s about finding strategies and supports that work for you.
-
We’ll work on simple, realistic strategies that help you manage distractions, stay organized, and actually finish what you start.
-
Instead of forcing yourself into systems that don’t fit, we’ll build routines and tools that align with your strengths and how your brain is wired.
-
Therapy is a place to let go of shame and see your ADHD or neurodivergence as part of your unique strengths, not as a flaw.

Adult ADHD and Neurodivergent Therapy FAQs — Minneapolis MN

You may be neurodivergent if you grew up feeling “different” from peers — perhaps struggling with focus, overwhelm, sensory overload, emotional sensitivity, burnout, difficulty following social or workplace norms, or masking your true self to fit in. Sometimes neurodivergence isn’t diagnosed until adulthood, especially in high-achieving or high-functioning people. Therapy can help you explore whether your wiring fits neurodivergent patterns and how to support it with self-awareness and nervous-system–healthy strategies.
-
Masking refers to hiding or minimizing natural neurodivergent traits (like sensitivity, spontaneity, emotional reactivity, sensory differences) to conform to neurotypical expectations. Over time, masking can cause exhaustion, identity confusion, anxiety, dissociation, burnout, or depression — because you’re constantly suppressing yourself. In neurodivergent-affirming therapy, we work to unmask safely, build acceptance, and develop coping strategies that honor your natural wiring.
-
Neurodivergent-affirming therapy means working from a strengths-based approach—no shame, no pathologizing, and no push to fit into neurotypical expectations. I help you work with your brain, not against it, using somatic regulation, parts work, and practical strategies tailored to your wiring. Sessions are available in Minnesota, in person and online.
