ADHD

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder that is typically characterized by a lack of impulse control, an inability to focus and pay attention, and hyperactivity. ADHD most commonly emerges in children and teens and can continue into adulthood. In fact, ADHD is the most common mental health disorder diagnosed in young people and sufferers often have trouble paying attention in school. ADHD must be diagnosed by a qualified clinician. In addition to medical interventions, seeing a mental health practitioner who specializes in the treatment of ADHD can help patients and their families better cope with many of the symptoms.

As an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) I utilize a combination of approaches, including CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing to help you develop practical strategies for managing time, enhancing organizational skills, and reducing impulsivity. I blend this with humor and narrative story-telling to help you understand feelings of shame or rejection you may have faced related to your ADHD symptoms so that you can move beyond that pain.

Whether you have a diagnosis or not, living with ADHD or what you think might be ADHD can feel like everyone got the memo for "how to life" except you. As someone with ADHD, I know how hard it can be to navigate a world not set up for you. Without creating systems and tools to set you up for success, it can feel like you're always one, two, or three steps behind. You are not broken, and together we can create those systems so you can thrive.

Sometimes, therapists do not have an in-depth understanding of the best way to help adults and teens with ADHD because ADHD is different from other conditions we treat. Due to being diagnosed late in life myself, I decided to dive into the research and better understand how to help those with ADHD because there is such a lack of understanding in the field. I combine my lived experiences with evidence-based practices to help you increase your quality of life with your brain style in mind.

Adults with ADHD have difficulty with time management, organization, impulsivity, maintaining focus, sustaining attention, and managing emotions. They may also struggle with procrastination, forgetfulness, and difficulty in following through on tasks or commitments. Additionally, adults with ADHD may experience feelings of frustration, low self-esteem, and anxiety due to their symptoms. However, it's important to note that individuals with ADHD can also possess unique strengths and talents.

Brains to the front! In this house, we embrace neurodiversity. The human brain is complex and marvelous. Understanding how our brains work, and how we can learn to work with our brains instead of against them, opens pathways for healing and can free us from cycles of shame and guilt (you know, that inner voice that tells us we're doing it wrong or not being enough).
