ADHD

I specialize in helping those with attention and motivation concerns, including those who have been formally diagnosed with ADHD and also those who suspect this is an issue but have not been formally evaluated.

When relating to the symptoms of ADHD , my approach is, again, systemic. On one side, we may understand that neurochemicals could be out of balance. But I often find that 2 (among many) important aspects are overlooked, and they are environmental overstimulation and shame. If we understand our environment better to the extent that it reveals unrealistic expectations, a correlation can be drawn between this and shame in not meeting those expectations. Normalizing this can help tend to shame.

I am experienced in providing treatment that is focused on the unique needs of adults with ADHD. If you suspect you may have ADHD reach out to schedule a free phone consultation.

Women with ADHD are often not diagnosed as children and many women I work with don't find out they have ADHD until they have their first child. This was also my personal experience. If you're a mom struggling with daily tasks, feeling like you can't keep up, dealing with sensory overload and wondering... is this even possible? It's possible you could be neurodivergent!

Challenges with focus, organization, procrastination, and just keeping your life together. Many people experience these challenges independently, but many that find they have it along with or following anxiety or trauma. This makes it hard to get the things done you need to do and many feel shame that they’re struggling. I will work with you to problem solve and learn skills to make life easier.

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

ADHD can make individuals feel they can’t keep up with societal expectations. Whether diagnosed as a child or an adult, this can lead to intense feelings of shame and low self-worth. With understanding and self-compassion, we can explore stuck beliefs, grieve losses, and creatively build on strengths and interests to find tools to help you move forward and feel better about yourself and life direction.

If you have ADHD, your brain is wired differently than the majority of the population. This is beautiful, and it also brings a multitude of challenges. Together we will experiment with strategies that work with your brain, not against it. No ADHD brain works exactly the same, and I approach each session with this in mind. People with ADHD often have internalized shame from living in an ableist culture, and we will make plenty of space to explore that as well.

I have specialized training to work with neurodiversity and am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider. This allows me to help parents and clients better understand their needs and how needs may present at school, work, or with friends.

I utilize a strongly neurobiologically-oriented approach to educating my clients about ADHD and learning to manage everything that comes with being a neurodiverse person. I also have lived experience with ADHD, and I enjoy working with adults who are learning to navigate living with ADHD.

I approach my work with individuals from a place of compassion and empathy, understanding that by the time someone comes to work with me, they may have experienced shame or embarrassment about some of their struggles. I offer coaching using a structured and supportive approach to help individuals affected by ADHD and executive function issues. During our sessions, we work on time management strategies, daily life skills, Realistic goal setting, and self esteem/ self worth.

In an ableist culture, people with ADHD often feel that we can’t keep it all together or measure up to others. Instead of feeling valued for our deep empathy, heightened capacity for emotions, creativity, and sense of humor, we are taught to compare ourselves to others, neglect our self-care, and place productivity above our well-being. Let’s focus on creating a life that aligns with what makes you special and how to balance your goals with your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
