ADHD can feel overwhelming and sometimes debilitating. Getting simple To-Do list items done can seem like the most insurmountable goals. In addition, your energy level never quite feels reliable enough to allow you to follow through on completing tasks. Sound familiar? If you have not yet been diagnosed with ADHD, but are consistently having difficulties with organizational skills, task management, losing things, staying focused, hyperactivity, low motivation, mood swings, lethargy, insomnia and high levels of anxiety, you may be experiencing ADHD symptoms. Just know that you don't have to navigate this experience alone.

To help work through your feelings of procrastination and overwhelm, I utilize a combination of Behavioral Activation and Motivational Interviewing techniques:
Motivational Interviewing
Is a collaborative conversation style used to help you get unstuck and decrease uncertainty about change or taking action by prompting you to think deeply about your personal values and to incrementally build manageable routines and consistent steps that are aligned with those values.
Behavioral Activation
Can then be used to break the cycle of stagnation or despair by working on a variety of exercises to increase your self-empathy, build on past strengths and successes, and develop consistent life-altering routines. These strategies are carefully designed to help you achieve mastery and confidence in taking concrete actions to improve your mood, motivation level and sense of well-being.
Focused Goal Setting
Can feel tedious at first, but with help and support, you come to recognize it as a necessary chore that becomes easier to accomplish with time. And it can help make things SO much easier. It is okay if you don't know where to start. That's our job. We can help you begin to create systems and develop organizational skills that work WITH your way of experiencing life instead of having you try to fit inside systems that weren't meant for the ADHD brain. The result is a sigh of relief at finally feeling a sense of control and healthy management of your environment, emotions and actions.
