Hi, I’m Abel. I specialize in working with adults with ADHD, both men and women, as well as men navigating the pressures of work, relationships, family, and identity. I also work with couples, particularly when ADHD has become part of the conflict or disconnection in their relationship. I know firsthand how ADHD can shape your life. It affects more than focus and productivity. It can also impact emotions, confidence, and relationships. I was diagnosed in my 30s, and it helped me make sense of years of struggles with organization, responsibilities, and executive functioning. What surprised me most was how profoundly ADHD can affect relationships, especially marriage. That’s why I believe ADHD therapy has to go beyond productivity and address emotional regulation, self-worth, follow-through, and connection. As a husband of 13 years, a father, and a family man, I understand the quiet pressures many men carry. Men are often expected to be competent, steady, and dependable without always having a place to talk honestly about what happens when that becomes difficult. That perspective shapes the way I work with men: with honesty, compassion, practical tools, and real conversations without judgment. My own marriage has also taught me how much relationships require vulnerability, accountability, and teamwork, especially when navigating ADHD. That experience helps shape my work with couples as they move beyond blame and toward greater understanding, reliability, and connection. I’ve also wrestled with body image and self-worth after years of being overweight. Making meaningful changes taught me that taking care of yourself isn’t passive. It often means doing difficult things consistently because you’ve decided your well-being matters. Learning to show up for myself changed not only my health, but the way I saw and valued myself. That experience shapes how I help clients build a healthier, more grounded relationship with themselves.
Clients often tell me I bring the right mix of compassion, practicality, and no-nonsense honesty. I don’t sit back and nod. I challenge you, laugh with you, and walk alongside you. My style is direct but deeply relational because I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for real change.
Therapy with me isn’t condescending or clinical for the sake of it. It’s real conversations, practical tools, and steady guidance. My goal is for you to feel both understood and equipped. I want you to feel relieved that someone finally gets it and confident that you now have a way forward.
ADHD Therapy for Men & Women Adult ADHD is about more than trouble focusing. It can show up in forgotten responsibilities, difficulty getting started, emotional overwhelm, and the constant feeling that you should be able to “just try harder.” Over time, this can affect confidence, relationships, and how you see yourself. You may be capable and motivated while still wondering why everyday responsibilities seem harder than they should. If planners, productivity hacks, or simply pushing harder haven’t worked, you may not need more willpower. You may need practical systems that actually fit your brain and support that respects your reality. Therapy for Men I have a particular passion for working with men. Men are often expected to be competent, steady, and dependable, even when the weight they’re carrying becomes difficult to manage. Over time, stress can become irritability, anger, withdrawal, or disconnection. Therapy gives you a place to talk honestly about what isn’t working, understand what’s underneath it, and develop practical ways to handle life differently. Acknowledging the weight doesn’t make you weak. It gives you somewhere to start. ADHD & Couples Please note: Couples sessions are $200 per hour and are cash pay only. When ADHD affects a relationship, one partner may feel overwhelmed and unseen while the other feels criticized, unappreciated, or like they can never get it right. These patterns can create resentment, loneliness, and repeated conflict. ADHD can affect communication, follow-through, emotional regulation, and shared responsibilities. With the right support, couples can move beyond blame, build better systems, repair disconnection, and begin working together again.
I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a humanistic approach, always tailored to your needs. Whether we’re working on ADHD, men’s issues, or relationship concerns, my focus is steady: helping you build tools, insight, and connection that last.
I don’t take sides—I take the side of your relationship. My job isn’t to referee arguments but to help you both see the destructive cycle you’re stuck in and teach you how to step out of it. We’ll name the moves you fall into, get honest about what’s really driving them, and practice new ways of relating that shift the whole dynamic. I bring structure and practical tools to ADHD-related struggles, while also addressing the deeper emotional wounds that keep getting triggered. This is tough work, but it’s the work of building a stronger, more loving partnership.
This method emphasizes self-awareness, personal growth, and authenticity. I help clients explore their experiences, values, and emotions with compassion, empowering them to connect more deeply with themselves and others. Humanistic therapy is especially useful for clients working through identity concerns, self-worth, and relational challenges.
I incorporate mindfulness-based therapy to help clients build awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment. This approach supports clients in developing healthier coping strategies, reducing anxiety, and managing stress more effectively. I guide clients in practices such as grounding, breathwork, and nonjudgmental self-reflection to increase emotional regulation and resilience.
I use motivational interviewing to help clients explore their ambivalence, clarify personal values, and strengthen motivation for change. This approach is collaborative and client-centered, empowering individuals to set meaningful goals and take steps toward them at their own pace. I often use motivational interviewing to support clients working through behavior change, managing ADHD, navigating trauma recovery, or addressing patterns that feel stuck.

I have been very skeptical about talking with someone professionally before. However, after my first session I felt very welcoming and heard. Would defiantly recommend him to anyone!
