STEP INTO YOUR NEURODIVERGENCE

Here’s the thing.

Too many adults have been struggling for far too long before finally discovering they had undiagnosed ADHD.

Often times, folks with ADHD are misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, BPD, OCD, or bipolar disorder. Sometimes, it’s actually a combination of multiple disorders, but so often ADHD gets missed. With the pandemic, and especially the transition to working from home, for many, their ADHD symptoms got worse.

When these lovely humans finally get the correct diagnosis (many times thanks to a hyper-fixation on ADHD!), they are well into adulthood, and have a lifetime of experiences where they felt like something was wrong with them. Including me.

A DIAGNOSIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

For most of our lives, we were trying to appear neurotypical. We masked, we overcompensated, and we rode through constant burnout to try and show on the outside that we were okay, we were successful, we were making it. But inside, we were exhausted, we were in pain, and felt broken.

Realizing I had ADHD challenged my perceptions about myself and the world around me. I wasn’t broken. My brain was just wired differently.

Getting treatment can be life-changing. But medication doesn’t cure ADHD, it only helps to manage symptoms. There’s been a lifetime of the inner critic taking the stage in our brains, with shame keeping us small, keeping us uncertain of our voice, our power, and our identity. On top of it all, there’s a pile of challenges that come with ADHD—keeping up with household tasks, prioritizing what we need to get done, staying organized at work, managing our time, maintaining relationships, staying focused & more. After a diagnosis especially, it can feel overwhelming to try to figure out where to start.

ADHD COACHING CAN HELP.

As someone diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I know exactly how important it is for you to feel validated, seen, heard, and understood.

I’m here to counter the incredibly negative messages about your ADHD that you’ve internalized over the years and reframe your perspective to work with your needs instead of fighting against them. We’ve fought against this part of ourselves for so long when trying to mask and overcompensate. It didn’t serve us then, and it won’t serve us now. Having ADHD is hard, but we don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re allowed to ask for help.

In our work together, I will provide empathy, guidance, accountability, and support. As we strategize and collaborate to achieve your goals, I’ll help you re-align with your strengths and reconnect with your most empowered, authentic self.
