Glendale sessions are by video.
I have no office in Glendale. If you want in person, that happens at my Pasadena office. Honestly, for a lot of ADHD clients video wins anyway, because the number of appointments lost to leaving the house eleven minutes too late is not small.
Deadline Brains
Why creative and production work hides ADHD so well.
Glendale is full of jobs built out of urgency. Delivery dates, review cycles, a shot due Friday, a vendor waiting. Urgency is a stimulant. If your work supplies a constant external deadline, you may have spent fifteen years believing you are organized when what you actually have is a job that does your executive functioning for you.
Then a show wraps, or you go freelance, or you get promoted into planning instead of doing, and the scaffolding comes down. The dishes, the taxes, the doctor appointment you have rescheduled four times. Same brain, no external pressure, sudden collapse.
- You can deliver under pressure and cannot start anything that has no due date.
- Your work email is spotless and your personal inbox has four thousand unread.
- You were called bright but scattered, and the second word did more damage.
- Rest looks like scrolling, because your brain will not accept quiet as an activity.
What We Do
Less life hacking, more untangling.
Systems have their place and we will build a few. But most of the women I see already own three planners. The stuck part is usually the shame layer underneath, the decades of being told you were careless, and the exhausting habit of masking so nobody finds out how much effort the baseline takes.
I am a therapist, not a prescriber. I do not diagnose for medication or run testing. I work with the emotional weight of it, and I coordinate with your physician or psychiatrist when that is useful.
