ADHD

In navigating ADHD, I'd illuminate your unique strengths and challenges, using narrative therapy to unravel your story. Through self-discovery, we'd build skills tailored to your neurodivergence, fostering understanding and empowerment. Together, we'd craft a narrative of resilience and growth.

ADHD can make individuals feel they can’t keep up with societal expectations. Whether diagnosed as a child or an adult, this can lead to intense feelings of shame and low self-worth. With understanding and self-compassion, we can explore stuck beliefs, grieve losses, and creatively build on strengths and interests to help you move forward and feel better about yourself and life direction.

My household contains 3 of us diagnosed with ADHD and one neurotypical dad/husband. My obsession with ADHD has helped me to develop a more positive outlook to provide to clients that includes turning our ADHD into our superpower.

I work with a wide range of neurodiverse individuals and aim to help clients to learn basic mindfulness techniques and lifestyle changes to address ADHD symptoms and improve daily functioning.

I specialize in assessing and treating ADHD across all ages, using evidence-based interventions to improve focus, executive functioning, and emotional regulation. My approach includes behavioral strategies, psychoeducation, and tailored support to help clients manage daily challenges, enhance productivity, and build self-confidence. I work with individuals to develop coping mechanisms that foster success in both personal and professional settings.

Living with ADHD can be difficult to explain to others who are not neurodivergent or on the spectrum. Procrastination, rumination, and impulsivity are understood at In Session Therapy Professional LLC. Treatment is on an individual level to locate coping skills, resources and support that is unique to the person.

I have worked with ADHDers and AuDHers and I am passionate about working with folks who are seeking a neurodiversity-affirming therapist. My goal is to empower my clients to attune to their strengths and to gain tools for areas that feel more challenging—that work with their own way of thinking and being.

I'm certified in working with ADHD and I also have ADHD, so I bring lived experience and clinical knowledge to this issue. I will work with you to develop skills and techniques to address your challenges. I'll help you understand how your brain is structured differently and works differently. And we might want to work on some of the perfectionism and harsh self-talk that often comes with ADHD. See my website for videos with more information on my approach.

The impulse control and executive function deficits that come with ADHD are what I mostly focus on as well as the negative messaging that comes with those symptoms. ADHD kiddos often feel like "bad kids" or screw ups because they have difficulties completing tasks that are required of them at school or at home. I work to challenge those beliefs and focus on my client's strengths. I often include caregivers in sessions to help communication flourish between the two parties.

Extensive background in working with diverse social/emotional needs of children ages 5-18 to include assessments and support for 504 plans and special education evaluations. for students who suffered from neurodivergent conditions (ADHD) that negative impact their daily ability to learn in the traditional school setting.

ADHD can make it difficult to focus, stay organized, and manage impulses, often leading to frustration or feelings of being overwhelmed. Through therapy, we work together to identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and build skills to better manage attention and executive functioning. With my personal experience of living with ADHD, I provide understanding and practical support to help you thrive despite the challenges.

I have extensive experience working with children and adults with ADHD. Personally, I have been diagnosed with ADHD most of my life and so this is an issue I am very passionate about helping others with. I have found numerous techniques to help common symptoms of ADHD such as time blindness, forgetfulness, and rejection sensitive dysphoria. It is my belief that people with ADHD have many talents/gifts as they can see the world differently than others. I want to help you find those gifts!

Experience with helping people work through ADHD symptom coping mechanisms, and low self-esteem

As someone diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, I deeply understand the struggle. In my experience, some of the biggest barriers for neurodiverse people occur because we do not fit the "mold" we've been taught to model. Part of our work together will be helping you break out of those molds, so you can create a life you can thrive in. Together, we will find the tools and systems that work uniquely for you. If they do not exist, we will create them.

I have a strong interest and experience in working with individuals with ADHD. I understand the unique challenges and strengths that come with this diagnosis. My approach is to provide compassionate and tailored care, including medication management and therapy. I empower individuals with ADHD to develop strategies to manage their symptoms and reach their full potential. I believe in the importance of education and collaboration with the patient and their support system.

I approach my work with individuals from a place of compassion and empathy, understanding that by the time someone comes to work with me, they may have experienced shame or embarrassment about some of their struggles. I offer coaching using a structured and supportive approach to help individuals affected by ADHD and executive function issues. During our sessions, we work on time management strategies, daily life skills, Realistic goal setting, and self esteem/ self worth.

More recently, adults have had an increase in ADHD diagnoses. Clients I have worked with have found success in working on routine building, treating the comorbidity of anxiety, and understanding/accepting self and navigating a world not built for the neurodivergent mind.
