Make sense of an ADHD brain.
Counselling for adults in New Westminster living with ADHD — including late diagnosis, and the overlap with anxiety, burnout, and peri-menopause.
If this is the story you’ve been telling yourself, let’s rewrite it.
So many adults reach ADHD support after years of assuming they were just lazy, scattered, or not trying hard enough. None of that is the truth.
ADHD in adults looks different than you’d think.
Adult ADHD is rarely the hyperactive kid from the stereotype. It’s the inbox you can’t face, the time that disappears, the brilliant idea you never finished, and the quiet exhaustion of working twice as hard to look half as together. Many adults — especially women — are only recognised in their 30s, 40s, or 50s, often after years of being treated for anxiety or depression alone.
If you’ve recently been diagnosed, or you’re starting to wonder, you may be carrying a lifetime of stories about why you’re ‘like this.’ A lot of the early work is simply understanding how your brain is actually wired — which tends to be a relief, not a label.
More than focus.
ADHD touches far more than attention. These are the threads that come up most.
How I help.
This is a real focus of my practice. My approach is practical and affirming — not about fixing you, but about working with the brain you have. We build strategies that actually fit how you function, and we untangle the anxiety, shame, and self-doubt that often pile up around years of undiagnosed ADHD.
For many women, ADHD becomes impossible to ignore during peri-menopause, when hormonal changes pull the lid off patterns that were always there. If that’s you, you’ll find someone here who understands how tangled the two can be, and who works with tools you can use — not just insight.
