Helping women + moms untangle trauma & ADHD
therapy for michigan women carrying childhood wounds, a purse full of snacks, and a lifetime of people-pleasing.
Short Fuse. Big Guilt. No Time To Breathe. Sound Familiar?
You’ve got 37 tabs open in your brain (and on your browser), your coffee’s still in the microwave, and somehow you’re managing work, playing peacekeeper for the family, remembering appointments, and tracking who hates what snack this week.Deep down, you’re anxious, overstretched, and kind of pissed that no one else seems to notice how much you’re holding.
And maybe you're wondering why everything feels harder lately. Why your patience is shorter. Why your anxiety feels bigger. Why the ADHD strategies that used to work no longer seem to help. For many women, especially mothers and high achievers, childhood wounds, ADHD, chronic stress, PMDD, and hormonal changes can collide in ways that leave you exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering what happened to the version of you who used to be able to handle it all.
Let’s be real … “trauma” is everywhere these days. But what if we just called it what it often feels like: wounds.
Tiny emotional paper cuts that added up over time. Like having to grow up too fast, being the helper, or never getting to fall apart because someone else always needed you to stay strong.
That kind of pressure sticks. It shapes how you see yourself, how you show up in relationships, and how hard you push to never be a burden.
And then… there’s ADHD.
Which, by the way, doesn't always look like bouncing off the walls. For women and moms, it's often more internal than external. ADHD can show up as perfectionism, people pleasing, superwoman style multitasking, time blindness, emotional spirals, and masking overwhelm until you hit a wall.
Long story short: you're working way harder than you should have to. The coping strategies that helped you survive during your early years may no longer be working. As stress increases, life gets fuller, and hormonal changes begin. Many women find that the ADHD symptoms they once managed suddenly feel much harder to ignore. Understanding your brain, nervous system, and patterns can help you stop fighting yourself and start understanding yourself.

SPECIALIZING IN:
01
Childhood Trauma & Attachment Wounds
Old patterns are running your life.
Many women are still carrying old wounds that leave them feeling like they always need to be on guard. Maybe you're stuck in people-pleasing, over-functioning, perfectionism, anxious relationships, or feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions. These patterns once helped you survive, but they may no longer be serving you in adulthood.
Together, we'll explore the attachment wounds, beliefs, and relationship patterns formed early in life so you can build healthier relationships with yourself and others.
02
adhd in women
You're working twice as hard as you need to.
ADHD in women doesn't always look like bouncing off the walls. More often, it looks like overthinking, masking, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, irritability, and constantly trying to keep up with life's demands. As stress builds, responsibilities grow, and hormonal changes begin, many women find that the ADHD strategies that once worked suddenly stop working.
Together, we'll untangle the overlap between ADHD, trauma, burnout, and nervous system overwhelm so you can stop blaming yourself and start working with your brain instead of against it.
03
Motherhood, Burnout & Women's Mental Health
Motherhood doesn't create the wounds… it often exposes them.
Whether you're a new mom or years into parenting, motherhood has a way of stretching every coping strategy to its limit. The mental load, constant responsibility, identity shifts, and pressure to do it all can leave even the most capable women feeling exhausted, disconnected, and overwhelmed.
Add ADHD, chronic stress, PMDD, or hormonal changes into the mix, and it can feel like you're carrying far more than anyone realizes.
Let's create space just for you. Not just as a mother, but as a whole person, so you can feel more grounded, supported, and able to enjoy motherhood (and yourself) again.
