Therapy for ADHD and Executive Functioning in Cary and across North Carolina
You’re not lazy or broken—your brain just works differently. Let’s figure out how to work with it, not against it
If you’re tired of feeling scattered, stuck, or misunderstood, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself
Starting a dozen tasks—but finishing none of them
Constantly losing things (your phone, keys, train of thought…)
Struggling to stay focused, even on things you care about
Forgetting appointments, texts, or what you were just about to do
Feeling overwhelmed by simple to-dos that shouldn’t be so hard
Procrastinating until the last second, then crashing after
Beating yourself up for not being “more together”
Feeling like your brain is always on, but rarely in the right direction
Maybe you find yourself…
Therapy for ADHD can help you...
Learn how your brain actually works—so you can stop blaming yourself
Build tools to manage time, tasks, and routines in a way that makes sense for you
Practice strategies for focus, follow-through, and reducing overwhelm
Understand and work with emotional dysregulation (like frustration, shame, or rejection sensitivity)
Break the cycle of procrastination, burnout, and self-criticism
Strengthen communication and relationship skills
Set realistic goals—and feel good about meeting them
Reconnect with your strengths, creativity, and what actually motivates you
You don’t have to be diagnosed with ADHD to struggle with Executive Functioning
Executive functioning is the brain's “management system.” It includes skills like planning, organizing, staying on task, managing time, regulating emotions, and following through. When these skills feel out of reach, life can feel chaotic, frustrating, or stuck.
A therapist trained in executive functioning doesn’t just talk about your struggles—they help you build the skills to move through them. Here’s how that might look in therapy:
Create systems that actually work for your brain — not generic advice that leaves you feeling worse
Break down goals into manageable steps so you're not stuck in all-or-nothing thinking or avoidance
Develop routines and tools for managing time, distractions, and forgetfulness
Learn how to navigate “stuck” moments—like when you know what you should be doing but can’t get started
Work through emotional roadblocks like perfectionism, procrastination, or shame
Build confidence and trust in yourself as you follow through and make progress in your own way
Practice self-compassion instead of beating yourself up for not being “better at adulting”
Therapy with me is about helping you understand how your mind works, and building tools that actually fit you, not some productivity hack that only works for people who don’t struggle to start things in the first place.
We’ll look at what’s really getting in your way—whether that’s time blindness, perfectionism, procrastination, or just plain burnout. Together, we’ll figure out how to work with your brain instead of fighting against it. That might mean setting up systems for your day-to-day life, practicing how to move through mental roadblocks, or learning how to stop beating yourself up every time you miss a deadline or forget something important.
You don’t need more pressure. You need support, structure that feels doable, and a space where it’s okay to be messy, frustrated, and still figuring it out. My job is to hold that space for you—to be real with you, to challenge you when you need it, and to help you get clear on what actually matters to you.
We’ll take it one step at a time, and we’ll build something solid together. You’ve been carrying a lot. You don’t have to carry it alone anymore.
