Comprehensive Assessments
If you suspect you have ADHD, diagnosis can be the first step to understanding yourself. During our comprehensive assessment we will explore your challenges, goals, and symptoms and tease out how ADHD affects your life.
Personalized plans
ADHD can be different from one person to another and is significantly impacted by your experiences with your environment and the people around you. We will make sure your plan is tailored to your unique needs.

Consistent support
The challenges of ADHD with organization, prioritization, motivation, and time awareness can make seeking care feel overwhelming. That's why everything I do is intentionally designed to be ADHD friendly!
These clients said goodbye to overwhelm, people pleasing, and feeling like a failure.

I wish I had found this years ago. All this time, I have been exhausting myself by implementing strategies that never "stick" and then feeling like a failure. For the first time, I am confident that if I set a goal, I can achieve it. This confidence has given me the power to start following my dreams and stop chasing everyone else's. I'm actually proud of myself.

Working with Heather has been truly healing. Her approach is not like any other ADHD treatment I have seen or tried. She is calm and patient and really helps you untangle the negative self-esteem you have when you have ADHD. Most of all, you can tell she "gets it" and she isn't following a generic treatment plan. She is really tailoring your care to your needs.
“
In the past when I have tried to get help with my ADHD, I have had rushed appointments and been given medications and advice like "use a planner." I can't believe it took me so long to find a provider who would take the time to care about me and for me. We did more in a few hours than I have done in years of other treatment and coaching programs.
Become confident, peaceful in your mind, and motivated to achieve your goals.
I take a holistic approach to ADHD treatment. This means skill building, but, more importantly, it means radical healing.

MY SERVICES
How we can work together
I have programs for every level, whether you want to self-discover or do deep work and all of my services are intentionally structured to work best for the ADHD brain.
Comprehensive Assessments
Finally having someone take the time to really provide a thorough assessment and help you understand your ADHD as well as other comorbid conditions you may be experiencing with your ADHD can be life changing. If you were diagnosed as a child, are uncertain about your diagnosis, or had a previous evaluation that was hurtful or just unhelpful, it's time to do something better. After all, how can you thrive with ADHD if you don't fully understand what it is and how it shows up for you.
Therapy Intensive
A therapy intensive is a concentrated deep dive into the foundational reasons why you are struggling to manage your ADHD, understand your diagnosis, and start implementing the changes you need so that you can see yourself as you truly are-capable and deserving of success at home, work, in relationships, with finances, and with your physical well-being. This is the essential part of treatment that you are missing. Doing therapy this way works great for the ADHD brain.
ADHD Group Therapy
You are not alone! Not only is it helpful to be in community with others with lived experience, it is also important to be with people who are having success managing their ADHD symptoms and who are seeing a reduction in their symptoms. This is a safe space to drop your mask, try something new, learn from others, share your own knowledge, and have accountability. Basically, if you have ADHD, this is the group for you.
ADHD Virtual Course
I get it! Sometimes life is just too busy to have one more appointment on your schedule. Maybe your needs are more geared to learning the tips and tricks that make managing life with ADHD easy and more efficient. Maybe you want to explore the basics of how ADHD impacts your mood and relationships and get a therapy sample before taking a deep dive into recovery. This course is perfect if that sounds like you.
I have the training and clinical experience to get you where you want to be.

Your Provider
Meet Heather
Hi, I'm Heather and I can't wait to see you thrive. As someone with lived experience with ADHD, I truly get it. As someone who has worked in healthcare for over 22 years, with over 18 years as a Nurse Practitioner treating ADHD, I know how challenging it is to find a provider who will take the time to actually listen to you and create a tailored plan specific to your unique needs. I know how even more rare it is to find a provider who really understands ADHD and how to treat the parts of ADHD that most impact your life. My model of care is very different. I don't offer rushed appointments. Why-because rushed care isn't even good care, and you deserve great care. If you have ever been frustrated by your ADHD treatment or tried "everything" and still stayed "stuck", you are going to love working with me. This isn't about learning ADHD "mind tricks." This is about true healing. If you are ready to stop feeling overwhelmed, less-than, and ashamed and start living with focus, confidence, and clarity, then schedule a call so we can get started.
***You must be located in NC or VA at the time of service for group therapy or therapy intensives. My ADHD Virtual Course (which, I'm proud to say, is amazing), is available to all.
