I have a passion for helping clients manage their ADHD and attentional issues - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients have stated that coming to therapy has helped to catapult them out of their stagnation - enabling them to reach their full potential. For clients who have had difficulty finding a therapist who can understand their complex and intersecting identities, I can be a breath of fresh air. I work with folks ages 15 and up.
Natalee recognizes the day to day challenges that come with struggling with ADHD. Whether it's navigating executive function challenges, addressing time management difficulties, or managing impulsivity, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their experiences and develop practical skills for success.
I specialize in helping adults with previously diagnosed ADHD to better manage the impact of ADHD on all aspects of their lives. (ADHD Evaluations are outside the scope of my practice, and I do not make new ADHD diagnosis online.) Unfortunately ADHD does not go away when you turn 18, but it can manifest differently as an adult. Impulsivity in words, actions and emotional reactions, disorganization at home and work, poor self-esteem and negative thinking, and lack of attention during conversations and meetings are just a few of the common impacts adults with ADHD may experience that frequently contribute to job difficulties and relationship conflict. I work with clients using Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help diminish the symptoms of anxiety and depression that often co-occur with ADHD. Then, with Cognitive Behavior Therapy strategies and tools, clients learn how to change their thinking and behaviors to better achieve their goals.
ADHD can make life difficult when we try to force ourselves to abide by non-ADHD standards and habits! We help our clients accept the ways that ADHD creates unique challenges that need unique solutions.

Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Psychological Associate in Independent Practice
As someone who has dealt with ADHD personally as well as professionally, I am aware of many coping skills that will help you live your best life in spite of it. Many adults, especially women, who are diagnosed later in life, developed there own accommodations for ADHD challenges as students. When the complexities of adult life disrupt those systems, adults are often thrown into disarray all over again. Counseling can help you discover new ways to handle the challenges with organization, time management and the emotional sensitivity and dysphoria that come along with ADHD.
