Helping Women With ADHD… While Probably Losing My Keys
Hi, I’m Jessica, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who didn’t believe I had ADHD the first (or even the second) time it was suggested. Like many high-functioning women diagnosed later in life, I needed more than a little convincing. The irony isn’t lost on me.
I run a thriving outpatient psychiatric practice in Colorado, specializing in ADHD in women. I didn’t plan to focus on ADHD, but the more I learned through my own self-discovery, the deeper I dove. I hyperfocused on research, books, and trainings, and what I found felt deeply familiar. As I became better at recognizing the patterns in myself, I started seeing them in others. Word spread, and soon, many women undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years, began showing up at my office door.
They were tired of chasing perfection just to keep the struggle hidden. Tired of feeling one step behind, overwhelmed, and barely holding it together, even when it looked effortless from the outside.
I understand them.
I am them.
Now, I’ve made it my mission to help other women connect their own dots. I created this space to share stories, science, and solidarity. Here, you’ll find research-backed insight, lived experience, unfiltered honesty, and a touch of humor. Because ADHD isn’t a flaw, it’s a different framework. And once you learn to work with it (even if it takes several tries), things start to click.
