Navigating the Brilliance and the Burnout
ADHD is rarely just about "focus"—it is a complex, lived experience that colors every interaction, emotion, and internal narrative. In my practice, I work with neurodivergent individuals and couples to move past the shame of "not doing enough" and toward a life of sustainable functioning and relational safety.
For the Individual: Moving Beyond the Mask
Living with a neurodivergent brain in a neurotypical world often leads to a chronic state of burnout. Together, we address the invisible hurdles that standard productivity hacks ignore:
Rejection Sensitivity (RSD): Navigating the intense, often overwhelming emotional pain triggered by perceived criticism or rejection.
Demand Avoidance: Understanding the brain’s "threat response" to expectations and finding collaborative ways to move into action without the paralysis of shame.
Managing the "Overload": Developing strategies to prevent and recover from meltdowns or sensory overwhelm, honoring your nervous system’s unique limits.
For the Couple: Ending the "Parent-Child" Dynamic
ADHD can create a profound "relational gap" where one partner feels like a nag and the other feels constantly "less than." My work with couples centers on Systems Theory and Attachment, helping you:
Translate neurodivergent "language" so both partners feel seen and heard.
Dismantle the cycle of demand avoidance and reactive withdrawal.
Whether you are navigating a new diagnosis or have been "white-knuckling" it for years, I provide a space that is curious, courageous, and deeply affirming. We don't just "manage" your ADHD; we build a life and a relationship that actually fits your brain.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
ADHD is often misunderstood—especially in adults, and especially in people who have spent years masking, overcompensating, or being mislabeled. Many of our clients come in feeling burnt out, scattered, or frustrated, not because they’re “failing,” but because they’ve been trying to function in systems that weren’t built for how their brains work. At Nour Counseling, we take ADHD seriously—and we look at the full picture, including how culture, expectations, and identity shape the way ADHD shows up and gets interpreted.
We offer comprehensive ADHD assessments that go beyond a checklist. Our evaluations include a detailed report with clear findings and individualized recommendations, including accommodations when appropriate. In therapy, we work actively with you to understand your specific patterns—executive functioning, time agnosia, emotional regulation, task initiation—and build strategies that actually fit your life. This might look like restructuring systems, unlearning internalized narratives, setting realistic expectations, and creating supports that reduce overwhelm. Our goal isn’t to force you into someone else’s mold—it’s to help you understand how your brain works and move through the world with more clarity, support, and self-trust.
