If you’re feeling burned out, stuck, or like talk therapy just isn’t cutting it anymore, you’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong. For so many of the young professionals and creatives I work with in my psychotherapy practice in Washington, DC and Virginia, the surface-level strategies of "coping" no longer feel like enough. And that’s where therapy intensives can offer something different. Something deeper.

As a trauma recovery therapist, I find it deeply rewarding to work with clients who are navigating the intersection of ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) and past traumatic experiences. This dynamic can be challenging, but it also reveals the strengths and resilience of individuals with ADHD. I take great satisfaction in helping clients uncover these strengths, work through the complexities of ADHD and trauma, and create lives that feel more manageable, balanced, and meaningful. In this blog, I’ll explore the relationship between ADHD and trauma, how they impact each other, and how therapy can be a powerful tool in the healing process.
