Therapy for HIGH ACHIEVERS diagnosed late with ADHD who grew up in COMPLICATED FAMILIES in Denver, Colorado.
Helping you feel confident and in charge of your life.
You’ve worked hard and achieved success, but do you still feel like it’s not enough—or that you’re not enough? Do you feel guilt or shame about past choices, now realizing ADHD may have played a role? Are you your own worst critic when things don’t go exactly as planned? Do you carry the weight of feeling criticized, or misunderstood for most of your life?
I help successful professionals in their 30s and 40s with ADHD and low self-esteem find balance and confidence—without fear of judgment or failure.
Despite being driven and hardworking, ADHD makes life frustrating and exhausting. Everyday tasks feel overwhelming, emotions take over quickly, and impulsivity leads to regret. Staying focused is a battle—either you can’t start or hyper-focus on the wrong thing. Over time, self-doubt and shame take hold.
Family wounds may resurface, leaving you feeling like you’ll never measure up. People-pleasing and avoiding conflict may feel automatic, even at your own expense. Therapy helps untangle these struggles so they no longer hold you back.
A late ADHD diagnosis can feel overwhelming. Without support, it’s easy to feel stuck, disorganized, and burnt out. ADHD impacts emotions, relationships, and self-esteem, but therapy provides strategies to improve focus, regulation, and daily habits.
If ADHD and past experiences are getting in the way of the life you want, you’re not alone. Maybe you don’t feel like the partner, leader, or friend you want to be. The weight of it all is exhausting, leaving you doubting yourself at every turn. But it doesn’t have to stay this way—therapy can help you break free from these patterns and start showing up in your life the way you truly want.
Many clients worry that therapy will take too much time or energy—things they already feel short on. But they find it’s worth it. They finally feel seen, safe, and able to drop the mask. With me, you’ll unlearn the shame you’ve carried for years and start making changes that work for you.
Reach out now. You don’t have to suffer alone. I can help.
Hi, I’m joan, and I can help.
I help people who discovered they have ADHD as adults and grew up in complicated families. I teach coping skills and help them understand themselves better so they can heal, feel better, and make positive changes in their lives. My clients walk away from therapy with me feeling self assured, free from their inner critic and empowered that they are in charge of their life again.
I’m a therapist who believes healing doesn’t have to be all serious, all the time. I bring warmth, humor, and the occasional pop culture reference into the therapy room because sometimes a little levity helps us tackle life’s toughest challenges.
When you’re ready to take the next step, I’ll be here to guide and support you. You don’t have to do this alone.
