Counseling for ADHD in Colorado Springs, CO

Struggling with ADHD? You're Not Alone, and You Don't Have to Do It Alone.

Do you feel like your mind is constantly racing but your body can't keep up?

Are you grieving the years spent feeling misunderstood, frustrated, or like something was "wrong" with you?

Are you just starting to navigate an ADHD diagnosis as an adult and unsure of where to go from here?

I get it. Living with ADHD isn't just about not being able to focus—it’s about feeling like the world is moving at a different pace than you, and for years, you couldn’t figure out why. It’s frustrating, confusing, and downright exhausting. As someone who has ADHD myself, I know firsthand how tough it can be to face challenges that seem like they come so easily to others. Whether you’re a teen who’s always struggled with focusing, a newly diagnosed adult grieving the pieces of your past, or someone with ADHD alongside autism or being highly sensitive, this journey can feel lonely and overwhelming. But you’re not alone in it, and together, we can work through the hard stuff and build new ways to move forward.

Let's Talk!

Mental Health Counseling Can Help with ADHD!

It’s hard to live in a world that doesn’t always understand you. But therapy can be a powerful tool to help you understand yourself—and that’s where I come in. I know what it’s like to feel frustrated, misunderstood, and stuck. That’s why I’m here to help you reframe your ADHD—not as something broken, but as part of your unique makeup that deserves compassion and care. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been managing ADHD for a while, therapy can help you process the grief of the past, make sense of the present, and create a future that works for you.

Together, we’ll break down what ADHD means for you and how it shows up in your life—without the shame. We’ll also work on skills to manage the day-to-day challenges, from emotional regulation to mindfulness and interpersonal effectiveness. And you won’t be doing this alone: As someone with lived experience, I can offer insights and practical tools that I’ve used myself.

The Black Bold and Learning Therapy Approach to ADHD Counseling!

Here’s what makes my approach unique: I’ve lived through the struggles of ADHD, so I get it. This isn’t just something I learned in a book—it’s part of my own story. My therapy approach is grounded in understanding and compassion, using a combination of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), mindfulness, and emotional regulation strategies. We’ll focus on practical, real-world skills that can help you feel more grounded, calm, and in control of your emotions and reactions.

Whether you have ADHD, autism, or are highly sensitive, I’ll help you:

Build mindfulness skills to stay in the moment and manage distractions
Improve your emotional regulation, so you don’t feel controlled by overwhelming emotions
Strengthen your interpersonal effectiveness—communicating your needs with confidence
Increase your distress tolerance, so you can handle life’s frustrations without getting lost in them

DBT for ADHD and Emotional Regulation

DBT is designed to help people better manage their emotions, which is key when you have ADHD. We’ll use DBT skills to build the emotional resilience you need to handle frustration and anxiety, and develop ways to stay present instead of being swept away by your thoughts.

Mindfulness for ADHD and Autism

Mindfulness can be a game-changer for those of us with ADHD or autism. It’s all about getting in tune with your body, your thoughts, and your environment in a way that reduces distractions and brings you back to the present moment. Together, we’ll use mindfulness to help you focus, calm your mind, and reconnect with yourself.
