Helping Adults Make Sense of Late-Identified ADHD

Hi, I'm Hector. I help adults who have recently discovered they may have ADHD better understand themselves, overcome self-doubt, and navigate challenges such as procrastination, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and

relationship issues.

Many of my clients are smart, hardworking people who've spent years wondering why some things seem harder for them than they appear for others. Despite their achievements, many clients struggle with feeling confident, following through on tasks, or regulating their emotions. We work together on understanding how these thought patterns can lead to self-criticism, and we collaboratively identify strategies that feel doable and help life feel more manageable.

This work is especially meaningful to me because I can personally relate to the experience of late-identified ADHD. I learned I had ADHD as an adult after years of dealing with symptoms that went unnoticed because I overcompensated to work around them. Like many of my clients, I questioned why some things felt harder for me than they did for others. My therapist helped me better understand myself which gave me a fresh perspective on challenges I dealt with for years.

In addition, I spent nearly five years working alongside psychiatrists at a group practice that specialized in working with ADHD. This gave me a better understanding of how ADHD can impact confidence, relationships, and emotional well-being, and not just executive functioning.

I became a therapist because I wanted to do meaningful work, build genuine connections with people, and help them create lasting change. I believe that feeling understood is often the first step toward growth and healing.

If you've spent years feeling overwhelmed, stuck, frustrated with yourself, or wondering whether ADHD may explain challenges you've never fully understood, you're in the right place. You don't have to figure it out alone, and support is available to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
