Coaching is a partnership with a coach and a client. I as your coach am not here to give you answers to your questions, but to ask you questions to better get to know your unique situation and how ADHD is showing up in your life. I teach you about how ADHD works so we can use that knowledge to come at your struggles from a different angle. Each session you bring a topic of something you want to see change around in your life.

I use a strength based approach. We are going to focus first on what your strengths are and how you can come at problems with them instead of always focusing on improving your weaknesses. In our first session we talk a lot about your challenges, but also about what has worked for you and what you are really good at. Together we can get creative about how to use these strengths to your advantage.

Coaching helps you look at your challenges in a more curious, kind and creative way. You will also gain a clearer understanding of how ADHD affects your life so you can address problems from the cause more effectively. It builds self-confidence as you overcome obstacles and separate yourself from your ADHD. 

Expect it to be really hard at first. It didn’t take a day to create the habits you want to break; it’ll take just as long, most likely longer, to break a habit. We’re in the business of creating new neural pathways. If you compare your mind to a mountain trail, it takes a good deal of bush whacking before we’re able to easily pass through without a scratch. 

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a physiological difference in the brain. It is a deficiency of certain chemicals in the brain as well as inefficient structures to absorb those chemicals. Because the brain lacks these chemicals it makes it harder to perform the tasks they are used for. Some of these include: memory, motivation, time awareness, focus, finishing tasks, schedule management, organizing, planning, emotional regulation, hypersensitivity to distractions, or trouble staying present in a conversation.
