WHAT I OFFER
Three ways in, depending on what you actually need.
No free "discovery calls" that turn into sales pitches. No coaching packages dressed up as therapy. Just three honest offers built for women trying to figure out what's actually going on, and what to do about it.
↓ Not sure which one is for you?
Most women land here in one of three places.
You might be at the beginning, where you're not even sure if it's ADHD, or trauma, or just life lately, and you want a clearer read before you commit to anything bigger. That's the screener.
You might already be pretty sure something's going on, and you want a real clinical answer with a written report you can actually use. That's the diagnostic evaluation.
Or you might already know what you're working with, and what you need now is community, structure, and somewhere to put all of this down for a minute. That's Held It Together.
Pick the door that fits where you are today. You can always come back for another one.
OPEN TO EVERYONE
The 5-Minute Pattern Screener
A clearer read on what you might be working with, written by an actual clinician, in the time it takes to make coffee.
The screener walks you through four pattern areas: how your attention works, how your nervous system responds, how you regulate emotions, and how you show up in relationships. At the end, you get a written read on what your patterns actually look like, why they get confused for each other constantly, and what kind of next step makes sense for you.
It's built on my clinical framework, not a personality quiz. It is not a diagnosis. It is the clearest 5-minute starting point you'll find online, and it's free.
Who it's for:
Anyone, anywhere, who's tired of guessing and wants a real starting point.
Who it isn't for:
Anyone looking for a clinical diagnosis. The screener surfaces patterns, not diagnoses. For the diagnosis, see offer two.
FOR WOMEN IN MI, NV, IA
The Diagnostic Evaluation
A real diagnosis. Without the $2,000 price tag and the six-month waitlist.
Price: $425 standard / $675 rush. Cash pay only. No insurance.
How it Works
Two structured sessions with me, about ninety minutes each. The same clinical interview I'd use in any formal assessment, not a watered-down version. Five validated self-report measures you complete between sessions, on your own time. A written diagnostic report at the end. A real one. The kind you can bring to your psychiatrist for medication, hand to your therapist so they finally know what they're working with, use to request accommodations at work or school, or just keep for yourself because after all these years you deserve it in writing.
Standard turnaround on the report is 7-10 days. If you need it in 3 days, that's the rush option for $675.
Who it's for:
Women in Michigan, Nevada, or Iowa who want a real clinical answer on whether what they're experiencing is ADHD, trauma, or both. Women who've been told they can't get a diagnosis. Women who got diagnosed with something that never fit. Women who need a written diagnosis for medication, accommodations, or their own peace of mind.
Who it isn't for:
Anyone outside MI, NV, or IA. I'm not licensed to diagnose outside those states. Take the screener and consider Held It Together. Also not for anyone in active crisis. Please reach out to 988 first.

OPEN TO WOMEN ANYWHERE
Held It Together
H.I.T. Club
Held It Together
A community for women who've held it together long enough. Weekly structure, body doubling, and a clinician in the room.
You named it "held it together" for a reason. The clenched jaw. The mental load nobody sees. The performance of being fine while quietly running on fumes. Held It Together is the place where you don't have to do that. You get to put some of it down and be around people who already know exactly what you mean.
Who it's for:
Women, anywhere, who recognize themselves in the ADHD/trauma overlap and want ongoing structure, community, and clinical insight without the cost and calendar load of weekly therapy.
Who it isn't for:
Anyone who needs active clinical treatment right now. Held It Together is community, education, and structure. It is not therapy and it is not a replacement for it. If you need therapy, I'd rather you have therapy.
Price: $47*/month for founding members.
*The price goes up as the community grows. Founding members stay at the founding rate for as long as they're in.
Inside the membership you'll find:
HIT Sundays
Every week, the group meets to close out the week behind you and set up the week ahead. I facilitate. We talk about what worked, what fell apart, and what you actually need this coming week. Small breakout pods so the conversation gets specific instead of staying vague.
The HIT Room
Open body doubling sessions where you do the boring stuff alongside other women doing their boring stuff. Emails, paperwork, the form you've been avoiding since March. Your brain does hard things better when it's not doing them alone.
The Resource Library
My frameworks, worksheets, guided practices, and short lessons. Built for ADHD brains: short, organized, findable.
Four Discussion Spaces
Organized by topic, not chronology, so it's not another feed to doom-scroll: ADHD Patterns, Trauma + Nervous System, ADHD or Trauma? (the signature room), and Relationships + Real Life.
Guest Sessions
Periodic guests on adjacent topics: sleep, hormones, nervous system regulation, executive function tools.
A FEW THINGS I DON'T DO
What's not on the menu
I get asked a lot. Here's the honest list of what I don't offer, and what to do instead if it's what you need.
Ongoing 1:1 therapy
I do work one-on-one with some clients, but I don't take new 1:1 therapy through the public funnel. That access opens up after the diagnostic evaluation or through Held It Together. If you've worked with me before, you already know how to reach me.
Medication management
I don't prescribe. I write reports that prescribers can use, and I'll work alongside your psychiatrist when there is one, but the prescription pad is theirs, not mine.
Coaching
I'm a licensed clinician. Coaching is a different category and a different scope of practice. I'm not going to coach you in circles around your symptoms without ever naming what's underneath. That's the whole point of doing it this way.
Crisis support
I'm one person with limited bandwidth. If you're in crisis, please use 988 or your nearest ER. These are real resources staffed by real people, available 24/7.
Couples or family therapy
I work with individual women. Couples and family work needs a clinician trained specifically for that, and I'd rather refer you out than do work I'm not the best fit for.
WHEREVER YOU ARE
You don't have to know the answer yet to take the first step.
If you're reading this and still not sure which one fits, take the screener. It's free, it's five minutes, and the result will give you a much clearer sense of which door makes sense for you. You can decide everything else from there.

The Pattern Screener is an educational tool. It is not a diagnosis and does not establish a therapist-client relationship. If you're in crisis, please contact 911 (call or text) or go to your nearest emergency room.
