Because ADHD is a part of you and won’t go away, it is important to understand your challenges with it, and how you deal with the ways it affects you.  Working as a team, coaching helps to bridge the gap between your desire to initiate an action, and you actually performing it.  To succeed, you have to believe you can succeed. 

If you have been labeled “stupid,” “lazy” or “incompetent” most of your life, believing in your own success can be difficult.  If you still hear the disappointing comments made to you in your childhood (when you didn’t follow through) and can still feel the imprint of others’ disapproval whenever you didn’t “measured up,” finding ways to refuse to accept these labels can make all the difference in your life. 

We will work together on challenging and rejecting negative thoughts that hold you back - this will enable you can to see yourself more realistically and as a whole person.  I offer a non-judgmental place for you to reflect on your behavior.  In that space, we start creating your toolbox of customized strategies for coping with the demands of daily life.
