A relationship-focused perspective on ADHD
A forgotten commitment may mean one thing to the person who forgot it and something very different to their partner. Marianne’s clinical background includes complex relationship challenges, couples conflict, family transitions, trauma, and multiple stressors occurring at once.
For someone seeking ADHD-related relationship support, that perspective can help create a conversation about the impact of a pattern without reducing either person to a label. The starting point is what feels difficult in your life and what you hope will change.
Couples, shared responsibilities & communication
You may want to discuss repeated arguments about chores, feeling like the household manager, difficulty staying present in conversation, or a cycle of criticism and defensiveness. Couples work can examine each partner’s experience and clarify the practical agreements that are missing.
An ADHD-informed conversation also considers accountability and repair. Understanding an attention or follow-through difficulty does not erase its effect on another person. Sessions can help identify clearer requests, realistic responsibilities, and ways to return to connection after conflict.
Adult executive functioning
Alongside ADHD couples therapy, Marianne supports adults with executive functioning goals such as organizing responsibilities, planning the week, starting tasks, and following through. These goals can be explored in relation to work, home, and shared routines.
Support for people carrying a lot
Marianne has experience working with first responders, healthcare providers, therapists, teachers, military and veteran communities, and people navigating major life transitions. Her areas of work include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, boundaries, and people-pleasing.
For adults exploring ADHD alongside those concerns, it can be useful to look at how stress, expectations, and relationships interact with daily functioning. You can discuss what you are carrying, where your own needs have become difficult to hear, and what support would be most useful now.
Experience, style & next steps
Marianne is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with nearly three decades of mental health experience. Her warm, enthusiastic style brings empathy, humor, and encouragement to the work. Her experience spans clinical and leadership roles.
