ADHD

As someone diagnosed with ADHD, I'm personally familiar with the highs and lows of this diagnosis. By embracing your innate strengths, we'll create meaningful small steps so that you can be in control of your ADHD.

As someone diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, I deeply understand the struggle. In my experience, some of the biggest barriers for neurodiverse people occur because we do not fit the "mold" we've been taught to model. Part of our work together will be helping you break out of those molds, so you can create a life you can thrive in. Together, we will find the tools and systems that work uniquely for you. If they do not exist, we will create them.

We provide executive functioning coaching and academic coaching to assist clients with organization, time management, flexible thinking, increasing focus, and building sustainable systems.

I grew up in a household overrun by ADHD. This is a major reason I have been so intentional about managing my own and enjoy doing this kind of work with clients. I love to help clients with ADHD build skills to help them organize their thoughts and environment. It can be a lot of work up front, but after we have put some systems in place, many client's find significant symptom relief.

Receiving a diagnosis of ADHD can be incredibly validating and overwhelming. It provides us with a framework and entryway into better understanding ourselves. At the same time, individuals with ADHD have a history of being misunderstood, under-supported, and pathologized. Through a relational, creative, and somatic holding, I hope to remind you of the incredible gifts that this beautiful brain of yours also carries. To help you learn to regulate your emotions, and advocate for what you need

Neurodivergence/ADHD have been receiving more widespread attention recently, which has helped many people, myself included, feel seen and validated. As a person living with ADHD, and an ADHD informed care professional, I hope to offer you personal and professional insights into the nuanced manifestations of your symptoms. Together we can identify the strengths and the challenges you face, and develop effective systems to help you navigate a neurotypical world that was not built in your favor

I have extensive experience working with children through young adults with ADHD helping them learn to make ADHD work for them. Sessions together will look like finding coping strategies that will work for you and incorporating techniques into your day-to-day life that will help you learn to stay organized and as "on top of it" as possible.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is the best thing to do, and I think this applies so well to the challenges that ADHD presents. At the same time, ADHD has great strengths, and I help clients take advantage of the energy, creativity, and sensitivity that it presents. I also support clients in building routines that ground them. Exploring this tension between spontaneity and routine allows clients to take advantage of the strengths of ADHD while managing some of its more challenging aspects.

Experience with helping people work through ADHD symptom coping mechanisms, and low self-esteem

I have had a clinical interest in ADHD for about 10 years, particularly focused in how it presents in adulthood. I typically utilize CBT and DBT exercises.

As someone with ADHD myself, I get how overwhelming it can be—but I also believe it can be a superpower when managed well. I take a structured approach to help with emotional ups and downs, rejection sensitivity, executive functioning, and organization. Using ADHD-friendly strategies and polyvagal theory, I help clients understand their nervous system, build routines that actually work, and find what helps them thrive. It’s not just about managing symptoms—it’s about leaning into your strengths.

As someone late-diagnosed & medicated for inattentive ADHD in my thirties, I can attest to the struggles of decluttering, losing things, & negative self thoughts of "Why can't I just concentrate like everyone else?" Talk therapy, Bluetooth device finders, & practicing mindfulness are approaches we might use.

Whether you have a diagnosis of ADHD or suspect you have it, we go beyond the label and work with the impact of distraction, procrastination, hyper-fixation, and the pain of boredom. You thrive in highly stimulating environments with lots of moving pieces and great productivity, but you experience drops and lows afterward. Your lived experience with disorganization and chaos has led you to exceptional strategies of self-management, sometimes resulting in self-criticism and judgment.

Do you feel like you have to slow down for everyone? Want a therapist who can keep up with you? Who will interrupt you in a helpful way to keep you focused and on track in sessions? You're in the right place! We'll work together on mitigating the practical challenges of ADHD (disorganization, distractibility, etc.) in manageable steps so you can function better, while also unpacking the deeper effects of this "disorder," like shame and self-consciousness.

Experience working with childhood and adult ADHD. CBT and talk therapy incorporated to support clients understand their diagnoses and learn skills to improve day-today functioning.

I utilize a neuro-affirming, reality, and strengths-based approach to working with adult ADHD and enjoy helping adult women understand this diagnosis.

I will obtain your past history while in school, daily challenges, often testing that consist of questionnaires. For children this includes teacher and parent involvement. Several mental health disorders can present as a focus issue and that's why it is so important to get a thorough history. We will work on gathering this information in our visits. Treatment for ADHD often will include medication, lifestyle changes, and therapy. I respect that some parents may prefer non-medication treatment.
