If you are struggling to communicate with a partner/loved one, repeatedly feel misunderstood or unable to meet each others' different emotional needs, you're likely left feeling frustrated, discouraged, even hopeless at times. You may be thinking, "Are we just too different from one another?" "Are we fundamentally incompatible?" Barring certain severe or egregious issues, my answer is usually: No, it's probably not that you're incompatible. But you may need a different level of understanding of yourself and your partner and different set of skills and strategies to break out of the current negative cycle.
I specialize in helping adults approach relationship problems and other stressors (e.g., job, family), especially when the client or partner is known or suspected to have ADHD. I utilize several evidence-based treatment approaches (see below), but also incorporate the latest understanding of ADHD and certain other conditions into these therapy frameworks.
No matter the therapy, finding a therapist that intuitively feels like a good personal fit to you makes a big difference. Please reach out to schedule a brief no-obligation phone consult to help make this decision. I am located near East Lansing, Michigan but see clients by video throughout Michigan, Idaho and Alaska.
