Important to Know
ADHD is a complex and often bewildering neurobiological disorder. Yes, I said 'disorder' because, as you probably already know, if you have ADHD, it's negatively impacting many 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 about even having ADHD, you've in the right place.
I understand & relate to the feelings of being scattered & overwhelmed. I too experience emotional reactivity, facing difficulties in relationships & parenting due to ADHD. Please remember ADHD is a reason, and not an excuse.
You're not lazy or stupid, 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 and want to do, at the right time and place!
I've been there too, saying yes to too many things, finding it hard to prioritize, & convincing yourself EVERYTHING is IMPORTANT. I've put others' needs or, the most urgent thing first, letting hyperfocus lead to burn out. Never feeling like it's enough, or I'm enough, or that I'm getting enough done. It's frustrating to be constantly distracted, go down rabbit holes, or be in sensory overload. Often feeling like you're not accomplishing what truly matters to you or achieving intended goals. The incredible difficulty of starting or completing tasks or projects that feel unnecessary, difficult, or emotionally charged. Yeah, I get it, at times, life can suck.
ADHD Coaching can help you understand how dopamine, the reward center of your brain, & emotions, are connected to MOTIVATION & PROCRASTINATION &/or avoidance. ADHD Life Coaching will help you utilize TIME MANAGEMNET, PRIORITZATION, PLANNING & ORGANIZATION techniques effectively, expanding your toolbox for Self-Regulation, & Creative Problem-Solving.
ADHD Coaching is testing & crafting strategies tailored to YOU, reducing shame, guilt & self-doubt, & instead fostering AWARENSS, COMPASSION & INSIGHT.
We will identify your distinct strengths & difficulties, working WITH YOUR ADHD brain, 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 myself & others in navigating these challenges. I'm dedicated to understanding & connecting with you, discovering effective tools & strategies that suit YOUR specific needs.
Contemporary neuroscience, clinical psychology, and behavioral research continue to confirm that Mindfulness techniques & other ancient wisdom tradition practices reduce stress, anxiety, overwhelm, dread & depression. These practices increase our ability to see ourselves & our reality more clearly, notice what we're doing, or not doing, not be hijacked by or ignore our emotions. We can behave more thoughtfully & skillfully, aligning our core values with our actions. We can be kinder to ourselves & others. We can tolerate discomfort & uncertainty better, in order to live a happier, healthier & more sustainable lives.
ADHD Coaching with me encompasses an Integrative & Whole-Person approach; we are both our MIND AND our BODY. Emotional & Self-Regulation is essential for Optimal Functioning & Well-Being. Part of this involves examining mindset, sleeping & eating habits, exercise, & stress management routines - it's all interconnected. As ADHDers, we're greatly driven by stimulation & interest, so it is essential to discover what does & does NOT work, for YOU.
I will provide motivational, compassionate support & accountability along the way, helping you set & maintain realistic & attainable goals. Together, we will develop systems & routines tailored to YOUR unique ADHD brain.
Allow me to be your guide on this journey.
I consider it a great honor to get to know & work with you.
