ADHD

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.

Leveraging over 15 years of experience, I specialize in ADHD. My approach includes personalized strategies to manage symptoms, boost focus, and enhance daily functioning. I'm committed to empowering individuals with ADHD to lead more fulfilling lives through targeted support and guidance.

I specialize in supporting clients with ADHD, offering a compassionate space to explore challenges and develop coping strategies. Together, we navigate executive functioning difficulties, manage time effectively, and cultivate self-compassion. Through tailored techniques and understanding, I empower clients to thrive and embrace their unique strengths.

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!

If you have a neurodivergent brain like I do, chances are, you’ve developed a variety of tools to manage in a neurotypical world. Maybe these tools are no longer working or new roadblocks have gotten in the way. Maybe you are exhausted by efforts to mask your neurodivergence. Therapy can help you understand and appreciate your brain, identify and maximize strengths, develop a sense of authenticity, increase self-compassion, improve self-image, and learn effective problem-solving strategies.

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.

While medication is considered the gold standard for dealing with ADHD, comprehensive treatment shouldn't stop there. ADHD isn't just a work or school issue, it effects every area of your life, and being educated about it is key. As someone diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, I bring an empathetic approach to providing psychoeducation and tools and techniques for effectively managing it.

I consider ADHD an executive functioning disorder and very complicated and rich. As an adult who carries and ADHD diagnosis, please know that there is so much more to explore and understand about yourself so we can help you take care of yourself, function more effectively in the world and communicate compassionately with yourself and others.

ADHD is a highly misunderstood diagnosis-- even for those of us who diagnose it! I consider ADHD a spectrum and no two ADHDers are the same. I do not believe in ADHD as exclusively a deficit, but something unique that comes with it's own challenges but if we can "hack our system", we can thrive, and that is something I tell all my clients- neurotypical or neurodivergent. In our sessions we will discuss ways your ADHD may negatively impact you and how we can cope with that

My approach is to assist with developing strategies and skills for daily life, as well as helping clients identify, process, and manage emotional conditions related to ADHD, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and rejection sensitivity.

As a therapist with a specialization in ADHD, I employ a range of therapeutic techniques tailored to individuals, addressing specific challenges such as focus, impulse control, and organizational skills. Through personalized sessions, I guide clients in developing effective coping strategies, fostering personal growth, and ultimately enhancing their overall well-being.

I have found a passion for working with Neurodiverse individuals, especially those who have just realized this recently or even later in life. I work with a neurodiverse affirming lens, so let's work together to find what works best for YOU. Whether it's task management, time blindness, or sensory overload, we'll work together to create accommodations for the unique person you are. Let's learn together on what makes you most comfortable.

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.

I have worked with adolescents struggling with ADHD in wilderness, residential, and outpatient settings.
