Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is common, but the effects it has on your life journey is not. Together we will explore the unique effects the symptoms of ADHD have on your journey and develop the techniques and skills to reduce thier impact. I'll teach you how to become proactive with ADHD to reduce its efffects on your journey.
Much of my work with clients with ADHD is focused on helping them understand themselves better and how ADHD has impacted various areas of their life. My main aim is to help clients see the strengths in how their brain works and come to accept themselves more fully, along with learning skills along the way to meet their goals.
When working with DHD i like to use psychoeducation and help people understand ADHD as a neurodevelopmental condition, not a character flaw.
I provide information on ADHD symptoms, brain functioning, and how it impacts daily life. Emphasis on the importance of self-compassion and reducing stigma.
We will identify and challenge negative self-beliefs related to ADHD (e.g., “I’m lazy,” “I’m a failure”). We will develop skills for time management, organization, and planning. This includes the use of alarms, planners,, and breaking tasks into manageable steps.
I have worked with many clients who have been diagnosed with ADHD. I work with those with ADHD to help them navigate their own strengths and help support the way that they apply those strengths. I have worked with those who have been diagnosed with ADHD with many different modalities, including art therapy, play therapy, and strengths-based therapy.

ADHD is often accompanied by emotional dysregulation and shame. Using Somatic Experiencing and Mindful Self-compassion, we can address the feelings and the stories we tell ourselves that affect our daily performance and emotional well being. A regulated nervous system is a huge support for working with the executive functioning deficits that may accompany your ADHD.
ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. A person with ADHD has differences in brain development and brain activity that affect attention, the ability to focus and self-control. ADHD can affect a child at school and an adult in their daily functioning. I will work with you to learn coping skills, improve focus, and I will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist you with behavioral change.
