Many individuals with ADHD often feel overwhelmed by daily demands, focusing primarily on managing weaknesses rather than leveraging their strengths.

​​

I provide practical assistance with:

  • Streamlining thoughts through brain dumps.

  • Organizing and prioritizing tasks and to do lists.

  • Managing multiple calendars efficiently.

  • Breaking down projects or assignments into manageable steps.

  • Crafting effective email and communication documents.

  • Carving out dedicated time in your schedule for priority tasks and activities.

​

I believe in empowering my clients to embrace their strengths and pursue their passions wholeheartedly. By doing so, you will become better equipped to navigate obstacles and make confident decisions. I help transform feelings of overwhelm and inconsistency into structured strategies tailored to your unique journey.  

 

Your life is yours to shape, and I am here to support you in unlocking your full potential.​

​

I use a strengths-based approach to managing ADHD, allowing you to capitalize on your existing abilities and build momentum.  My approach goes beyond merely managing symptoms; it's about rediscovering joy, confidence, and connection in all aspects of your life.

My Process

Uncover and clarify your goals.

In each session, my goal is to pinpoint and enhance the key areas you're looking to develop or refine. Occasionally, these priorities aren't immediately apparent.  Through questions and attentive listening, we navigate your experiences to reveal insights that may lie just beneath the surface. Utilizing mind-mapping or a brain dump as a powerful technique, we facilitate clarity by externalizing and organizing the intricate layers of your thoughts, especially when your mind feels overwhelmed. Translating them onto a canvas unveils what might otherwise remain unseen, providing invaluable visibility into your inner landscape.

Anticipate obstacles and create a strategy.

Anticipating the practical hurdles that often arise when striving for positive life changes is key. By preemptively considering and integrating these challenges into your plans, their impact is mitigated. Unforeseen obstacles can significantly undermine our confidence and progress. Therefore, by proactively incorporating these challenges into our strategy, we empower ourselves to navigate them effectively. This approach enables us to craft robust strategies that account for potential roadblocks, ultimately bolstering our resilience and enhancing our chances of success.

Draft a plan for action.

As all progress stems from action, we prioritize drafting a comprehensive action plan. This involves breaking down your overarching goal into smaller, manageable tasks, ensuring that each step is clearly defined. Clarity and measurability are essential; establishing clear, measurable objectives enables realistic tracking of your progress over time. Collaboratively, we devise a weekly plan that incorporates these actionable steps, guiding you towards your goals and building momentum along the way.

Set accountability check-in's.

Occasionally, despite our best intentions, tasks remain unfinished, or a rough day dampens our spirits. It's natural; everyone encounters setbacks. Acknowledging these moments as part of the human journey is crucial. Integrating regular check-in times throughout the week, focused on compassionate quality improvement, allows for reflection on your emotional state and facilitates open discussion. Sometimes, a minor adjustment to your plan is all it takes to maintain momentum. Whether through a brief phone call or a simple text message, these check-ins serve as vital tools for realignment, ensuring your focus remains steadfast on your goals.
