Dating Someone with ADHD When You Have an Anxious Attachment Style
Ariette Hung
Right for you if
Your need for emotional safety or approval often pulls you into people-pleasing or shrinking your needs — even though you’re longing to stand up for yourself more, speak more assertively, say no without guilt, self-advocate, and stop self-abandoning.
You consider yourself to be a highly ambitious, goal-oriented person, but you feel your ADHD or perfectionism makes projects feel impossible to finish and daily life harder than it should be. You’re overwhelmed and struggling with executive function.
You’re navigating emotional hurt or relational stress and want to heal attachment wounds, strengthen your boundaries, and become more emotionally regulated.
You’re getting in your own way and want to build more healthy patterns of thinking, deepen your self-compassion, clarify your sense of self-worth, and step into your full potential.

Meet Ariette
Ariette works with highly sensitive, soulful, and creative individuals who are ready to heal from the impacts of ADHD, attachment wounds, and self-esteem struggles. Whether you're navigating your relationship with yourself, your past, or the people in your life, therapy with Ariette offers a compassionate space to shift out of survival mode, strengthen your executive functioning, and reclaim your confidence. You'll work together to build a life, career, and relationships that feel aligned with your values and who you really are.
If ADHD has you feeling like you're always playing catch-up, stuck in a cycle of procrastination and perfectionism, or chasing “cheap dopamine” to stay afloat, Ariette gets it. She's especially passionate about supporting artists, entrepreneurs, and those navigating burnout from constantly striving to do and be more. If anxiety has you people-pleasing, or if you’re weighed down by past relational hurts, Ariette will walk alongside you as you unpack emotional wounds, shift old narratives, and learn to trust your own voice. Therapy with Ariette is about those breakthrough moments—the ones where you realize the voice you’ve been carrying inside might not be your own, but one you inherited. Sessions feel collaborative, validating, and deeply grounding. And if faith or spirituality is an important part of your journey, Ariette can integrate Christian perspectives into your healing process in a way that feels natural and aligned.
As an adult child of immigrants, Ariette understands the tension between honouring family expectations and building an identity that’s truly your own. She's someone who values deep connection, and it shows in the way she holds space. Outside of therapy, Ariette loves good food, themed dinner parties, and discovering cozy new cafés. She nerds out over musical theatre and loves analyzing films through a psychology lens. Whether she’s talking about your healing or her latest book obsession, Ariette brings the same energy of deep connection and presence to everything she does.
