Important to Know
ADHD is a complex and often bewildering neurobiological difference. It IS a real medical condition, often misunderstood. If you have ADHD, by definition it is negatively impacting multiple aspects of your life. Perhaps that's why you're here. Regardless of whether you received an early or late diagnosis, or if you're still uncertain that you even have ADHD, you've in the right place.
I understand & relate to the feelings of being scattered & overwhelmed. I too experience challenges in decision making & emotional reactivity, facing difficulties in relationships, sleep, & healthy habit formation, all due to ADHD.
You're not lazy, crazy, or stupid. You are not just lacking self-discipline or willpower.
Having ADHD isn't an issue of not knowing WHAT to do. It's the struggle to do what you KNOW & WANT to do, at the right time & place. ADHD is an executive function & self-regulation neurodevelopmental disorder, that significantly impacts how our brain & nervous system communicate.
ADHD Coaching is crafting & experimenting with strategies tailored to YOU, your unique brain & nervous system. Together we will reduce self-doubt & the inner critic, & instead foster AWARENSS, COMPASSION & INSIGHT.
I've said yes to too many things, finding it hard to prioritize, thinking everything is important. I've put others' needs or, the most urgent thing first, letting hyperfocus or emotional overwhelm lead to fatigue & burn out. I'd felt like what I'm doing isn't enough, or I'm not enough or I'm too much. It's frustrating to be constantly distracted, go down rabbit holes, or be in sensory overload. I know what it's like to feel as if you're not accomplishing your goals, struggling with persistence or motivation, starting or completing a task. Yeah, I get it. Life can be REALLY difficult.
ADHD Coaching can help you understand your brain & nervous system. How emotions, are connected to MOTIVATION, procrastination & avoidance. ADHD Life Coaching will help you utilize TIME MANAGEMNET, PRIORITZATION, PLANNING & ORGANIZATION techniques effectively by first recognizing & maintaining the need for EMOTIONAL REGULATION skills. Only then are we able to utilize your own personal toolbox for Compassion, Self-Regulation, & Creative Problem-Solving.
We will identify strengths AND difficulties, working WITH your ADHD brain & body, not against it. You are not alone on this path & you are not the only one struggling like this. I've devoted my life, personally & professionally, supporting others & myself in navigating these challenges. I'm dedicated to understanding & connecting with you, your specific needs & goals.
Contemporary neuroscience, clinical psychology, & behavioral research continue to confirm that Mindfulness & other Contemplative Practices reduce stress, anxiety, overwhelm, dread & depression. These intentional practices geared toward our health & wellbeing increase our ability to see ourselves & our reality more clearly, notice what we're doing, or not doing. They allow us to not be hijacked by, dismiss, or suppress our emotions. We can behave more thoughtfully & skillfully to what is present with care. We can be kinder to ourselves & others. We can tolerate discomfort & uncertainty with more skillful action, leading to happier, healthier & more sustainable lives.
ADHD Coaching with me, encompasses an Integrative & Whole-Person approach; we are both our mind AND our body. Emotional & Nervous-System Regulation is essential & foundational for optimal functioning & well-being. Part of this involves examining mindset, sleeping & eating habits, exercise, & stress management routines - it's all connected. As ADHDers, we have interest driven nervous systems, therefore, it is essential to discover what works for you.
I will provide motivational, compassionate support & problem solving along the way, helping you plan & maintain realistic & attainable goals. Together, we will develop systems & routines tailored to YOUR unique ADHD brain & body, creating a toolbox that is helpful & beneficial to YOU.
Allow me to be your guide on this journey.
I consider it a great honor to get to know & work with you.
