Reframing Your Story as a Neurodivergent Woman
So many neurodivergent women grow up absorbing stories that were never theirs to begin with — stories about being
“too much,”
“too sensitive,”
“too scattered,”
“too emotional,”
or “not living up to potential.”
Over time, those messages settle into the body as shame, self‑doubt, and a quiet belief that something is fundamentally wrong.
Therapy is where we rewrite that narrative.
Together, we explore how ADHD has shaped your life — not as a flaw, but as a pattern of strengths, sensitivities, creativity, and resilience that were never recognized or supported. We look at the internalized messages you have carried for years and begin reframing them into a story that actually reflects who you are: a smart, intuitive, deeply creative woman who has always marched to the beat of her own drum, even when the world tried to hand her a different rhythm.
This work is not about "fixing" you.
It is about understanding you, honoring you, and lifting up the parts of you that were never the problem.
Common Goals in ADHD‑Focused Therapy
Understanding your ADHD or a partner's ADHD
Making sense of symptoms, patterns, and communication differences.
Learning about executive function (EF)
Understanding how EF challenges — which are standard in ADHD — can impact daily life, increase vulnerability to trauma, and contribute to internalized shame and negative self‑talk.
Exploring how ADHD uniquely impacts women
Including masking, emotional regulation, rejection sensitivity, and the pressure to perform perfection.
Adjusting to a late‑life ADHD diagnosis
Integrating the relief, grief, clarity, and identity shifts that come with finally having answers.
Building self‑acceptance and identity clarity
Reclaiming strengths, developing skills, and creating a life that fits your brain rather than forcing your brain to fit your life.
Navigating accommodations, burnout, transitions, and environments that allow you to thrive.

Welcome — My name is Sarah.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington. I earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Oregon State University, where I focused on Social Justice, Systems Theory, and the cultural forces that shape our identities.
My work is grounded in both lived experience and ongoing professional training. I am especially passionate about understanding ADHD and how it uniquely impacts women and LGBTQ+ individuals — including the ways symptoms are often masked, misunderstood, or overlooked. I also stay current on evidence‑based practices and the evolving research around ADHD treatment and psychopharmacology.
I started this practice over five years ago because I kept meeting women who were trying to reclaim their values, identity, and voice from the expectations placed on them. Watching clients heal, grow, and step into their authentic selves has been one of the greatest honors of my life.
My focus deepened when I recognized ADHD traits in myself and received my own diagnosis of ADHD‑Inattentive Type at age 44. That experience reshaped my understanding of neurodivergence and inspired me to specialize further. Since then, I’ve completed extensive training in executive functioning, disability support, psychopharmacology, trauma, and advocacy, and earned certification as an ADHD Certified Clinical Specialist (ADHD‑CCSP).
Today, my work blends two core passions:
-
Supporting women in healing from trauma and internalized shame
-
Providing affirming, comprehensive care for ADHD — especially for those diagnosed later in life
I know how powerful it is to finally understand your brain, your story, and your strengths. It’s a privilege to walk alongside women who are doing the brave work of reclaiming their lives.
I’d love to support you on your journey.

“One isn’t born courageous, one becomes it.” – Marjane Satrapi
“We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.”—Max de Pree

Trauma Treatment: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is often used in trauma treatment, including PTSD, Internalized ADHD trauma, abuse, anxiety, OCD, and more
EMDR can also be very effective for phobias.
Some other examples of what we may use as therapeutic aids and tools:
-
Decision-Making Skills
-
Emotional Fluency
-
Creative Outlets for Self-Expression
-
Identity Exploration
-
Assertiveness Training
-
Reframing Negative Thoughts (CBT)
-
Quieting Your Inner Critic

The basis of confidence is trust. Self-confidence is technically just "self-trust." When one trusts themselves, the rest begins to fall into place. Through exploration and tool acquisition in a therapeutic environment, the individual can build confidence in themselves and their external relationships. They will learn to create goals and meet them. Discover what it is that is causing symptoms such as depression or anxiety, and get to the root of things so they can be free of their suffering rather than just masking the symptoms (Effective tools can be taught for coping, too!).
SARAH JURRENS HAS COMPLETED EMDRIA APPROVED PHASE I AND PHASE II TRAINING AND CONSULTATION FOR EMDR.
WHAT IS EMDR?
For trauma, we provide an alternative to talk therapy called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
"EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue or completing homework between sessions. EMDR therapy, rather than focusing on changing the
emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing issue, allows the brain to resume its natural healing process. EMDR therapy is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. For
many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other
psychotherapies." (https://www.emdria.org/about-emdr-therapy/)
