ADHD Couples Therapy in Portland
You can love each other and still feel lonely, criticized, or exhausted by cycles of conflict. You may spend more time running the household than enjoying each other, and miss feeling close and wanted.
I specialize in working with couples in which one or both partners are neurodivergent, with a focus on ADHD and AuDHD. In our sessions, we’ll explore the roles you fall into, the hurt that has accumulated, and find ways to come back together to build the lives you want.
how i workI help couples slow down hard conversations so each of you can speak openly about your feelings and needs.
We can practice hearing someone’s hurt without becoming defensive, and asking for what you need even when you feel guilty or afraid. We’ll work on making commitments you can keep, taking responsibility when you make mistakes, and asking for help. Over time, this work can heal resentment and repair trust.
I’m direct, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I work at your pace and take an active role in our sessions. I will ask questions, share what I notice, and help us stay focused on what matters to you.
If your partner isn’t ready to participate, you’re welcome to begin on your own. If you’re unsure about the future of your relationship, we can explore that too.
