ADHD doesn't define you, but it is a part of everything you do and every thought you think. I don't see ADHD as a "superpower," but I also don't believe it has to destroy your life. I teach people to work with, around, and through their ADHD symptoms. Together, we will identify your strengths as well as places in your life where you're most at risk for being derailed by ADHD. We'll use this information to formulate a plan to get your life on track.

People with poor boundaries, organization skills, or time management skills tend to be at higher risk for burnout. Sometimes this is because they have learned to rely more on their "fight or flight system" for motivation or to remember important things. Sadly, the fight or flight strategy doesn't work well in the long-run an people often spent a lifetime practicing it. The good news: we can learn new ways to deal while taking care of ourselves at the same time.

Anxiety is as much an emotional response as it is a physiological reaction to threat. Anxiety IS the fight or flight response. Often people want to eliminate anxiety, but it's often more useful to find ways to embrace and redirect our anxious energy. When we feel anxious our brain is alerting us to a perceived problem. Therapy we can better learn to differentiate between an alarm and an actual threat. With practice, we can "recalibrate" our brains to respond with anxiety more predictably.
