ADHD

In addressing ADHD, I focus on harnessing each client’s unique strengths to overcome challenges related to focus, organization, and impulse control. Through tailored interventions, including behavioral strategies and skills training, I support clients in improving attention, executive function, and self-regulation. My aim is to empower individuals with ADHD to achieve their personal and professional goals by maximizing their potential.

I have worked with ADHDers and AuDHers and I am passionate about working with folks who are seeking a neurodiversity-affirming therapist. My goal is to empower my clients to attune to their strengths and to gain tools for areas that feel more challenging—that work with their own way of thinking and being.

I help preteens, young adults, and adults with ADHD to be as functionally independent as they can in their daily lives by providing executive function and cognitive supports to organize themselves, create systems that work for them, and to participate in meaningful activities that can be related to school, work, play/leisure, rest & sleep, and home management.

Extensive background in working with diverse social/emotional needs of children ages 5-18 to include assessments and support for 504 plans and special education evaluations. for students who suffered from neurodivergent conditions (ADHD) that negative impact their daily ability to learn in the traditional school setting.

I help my neurodivergent clients improve their executive functioning, like working memory, organizational skills, moving from task to task, focus and attention with mindfulness cognitive behavioral therapies blended with food mood psychology. For example, Omega 3 fatty acids support brain functioning and can improve attention and concentration. What about L-Theanine? Found in tea, can actually have a calming effect and reduce hyperactivity or impulsivity.

I specialize in working with women with ADHD. Research shows that girls with ADHD often go undiagnosed until adulthood, which means that many adult women have been managing their ADHD symptoms for years. Many women with ADHD struggle with chronic stress and overwhelm, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and/or feelings of inadequacy. I support clients with improving self-esteem and confidence, improving stress management, and creating systems and routines that work for their brain type.

My household contains 3 of us diagnosed with ADHD and one neurotypical dad/husband. My obsession with ADHD has helped me to develop a more positive outlook to provide to clients that includes turning our ADHD into our superpower.

ADHD assessment can be offered as an add-on service with any comprehensive autism evaluation. However, do not offer ADHD evaluations as a stand alone service.

I have extensive experience working with clients with ADHD, organizing IEPS and 504s for school based services, and my own experience with an ADHD diagnosis.

I have Cognitive Behavioral Therapy experience/training in assisting those who have ADHD. I am able to support those navigating struggles with task management, emotional regulation, impulse control, mindfulness, goal setting, etc.

I have a lot of experience helping others manage and make sense of their ADHD symptoms. As with anything, when we incorporate those experiences into our identity, rather than try to change who we are, we operate from a place of empowerment rather than defeat. In doing so, we can see how those symptoms can actually be helpful instead of just hinderances.

ADHD is a condition which both limits and expands attention. Most people who have this condition are troubled not only with being either inattentive or hyper-focused, but also with secondary conditions, such as anxiety & depression, greater impulsivity, drug use, or other disrupting behavior. It is easy to focus on these secondary symptoms, and overlook the ADHD itself. I show people with ADHD how they can use this condition to their benefit.
