no pressure — just a conversation about your goals
Meet the therapist
I'm Cynthia, and I'll be honest with you: traditional therapy often fails ADHD brains.
Most of my clients are high-masking, deeply tired adults who have spent years trying to organize their way out of executive dysfunction. You have probably been told to "just use a planner" or "try harder" by people who don't understand how a neurodivergent nervous system actually works.
My job isn't to make you fit into a neurotypical mold. It is to help you understand your unique brain wiring, heal the layers of shame and burnout, and construct real-world systems that honor your energy levels rather than fighting against them. We skip the generic worksheets for real, neuro-affirming partnership.
Specialized Focus
Why standard therapy tips don't work for adult ADHD.
Executive Dysfunction
Break out of the "task paralysis" loop where you know exactly what you need to do, but your brain cannot physically initiate it.
Rejection Sensitivity
Work through the sudden, intense emotional crashes triggered by perceived criticism, falling short, or feared rejection (RSD).
Masking & Burnout
Unpack the profound exhaustion that comes from pretending to function easily, leading to deep, cyclic chronic burnout crashes.
Anxiety & Hyperfocus
Calm chaotic thinking loops and manage the physical drop that happens when you emerge from an intense hyperfocus sprint.
The roadmap
A structured process built for fast minds.
