ADHD

Adult ADHD can be so sneaky in some people. It's been hidden because of other strengths and talents, and emotional outbursts can be explained by something else. I've met so many women that have undiagnosed ADHD. It's at once fascinating and heartbreaking. I take tremendous care when developing strategies with clients who have this in their background. Let's start so you can finally have non-judgement when it relates to your ADHD symptoms. And finally have some answers on what will help you.

I am a provider who has ADHD and this is one of my specialties. I work within a neurodiversity affirming paradigm.

I have personal experience being on the ADHD spectrum and treat it from my personal experience as well as my professional training and research. I will offer teach and guide people to use the techniques that have worked for myself and others in my practice.

Those who identify with ADHD are often highly creative with an abundance of ideas + big picture connections. They can also struggle with managing their time (arriving late, super early, or generally overscheduled), organizing daily life (meeting deadlines, staying on task, paying bills on time), and experiencing strong emotions (intense feelings that are hard to manage). I work with clients to regulate difficult emotions and offer effective time management + organizational techniques.

Helping individuals develop skills and strategies to improve organization, focus and attention to details with a variety of issues.

I provide affirming and strengths based care for those on the ADHD or Autism spectrum. Having a therapist who gets it, and can help you validate your experience while also working towards your goals is essential.

I'm passionate about helping adults with undiagnosed or poorly managed ADHD get the help and support they need!

As a person with ADHD, I understand the shame, frustration, and anxiety that come with this disorder. I have studied ADHD skills and tools extensively. I don't condone medication, nor do I support it I believe that is an individual's choice. I do have an extensive list of tools and skills that can be used to cope with ADHD symptoms and turn them into a superpower instead of something to want to be rid of.

You deserve cutting edge, practical information from a clinician that knows their shit…. and values your lived experience and the feedback of the communities we serve. We know that lived experience is what makes therapy useful and without it, we wouldn’t be here.

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.

As a fellow ADHDer, I understand the challenges of living with ADHD & how it can impact self worth, educational and work environments, relationships, & every day tasks. I’m here for you! In our work together, I’ll support you understand how ADHD impacts your life, build more compassion for yourself, develop skills to help you manage your life with more ease, and unmask so you can be your most authentic self.

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, improve time management, and ways to set realistic goals, and achieve them.

Most of the people I treat for ADHD are adolescents and young adults. For the adolescents they usually are experiencing difficulties in following through with their chores and school assignments and for the young adults, they are often dealing with a lack of direction in their lives resulting in a failure to launch into independent living. I primarily address ADHD symptoms through cognitive behavioral strategies, aimed at helping the clients become more disciplined in his activities of daily living. The therapeutic process is structured into small objectives which the clients builds upon towards improving focus and followthrough in his or her activities of daily living.

I wrote my thesis on ADHD assessment and was fortunate enough to work with a professor who has been published alongside Russell Barkley. I have spent years assessing and treating individuals who are struggling with ADHD.

As a clinician who also has ADD/HD I understand the good and the bad. Many adolescents and adults suffer from the problems associated with ADD/HD because they have never been diagnosed. It can affect marriage, life, personal associations, work and many other areas. It can also serve as a wonderful adjunct to developing new ideas and products. It can be directed, once you understand it's effects.

I have specialized training to work with neurodiversity and is an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider.
