Psychotherapy and ADHD Coaching

Try differently, not harder.

You’ve read the books (mostly). You’ve downloaded the apps. You’ve set up the color-coded calendar, the to-do list system, the timers, the habit trackers. But somehow, it all slips through your fingers.

You sit down with the best of intentions, but your mind won’t settle. One small distraction pulls you off course. A wave of frustration rises, shame creeps in, and you wonder: Why can’t I just do this?

Here’s the thing not many people realize:

Traditional ADHD tools — calendars, lists, timers, CBT-based exercises — rely on the very brain functions that ADHD makes most difficult… executive functioning, emotional regulation, and the ability to redirect your attention when it wanders.

Without first supporting these underlying systems, the tools themselves can backfire. What was meant to help you organize and move forward can instead leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or even broken.

But you are not broken.

Your brain has been working hard to protect you — wisely, fiercely, and automatically. When we understand these protective patterns, we can meet them with appreciation instead of force. We can choose the right strategies, at the right time, to bring the necessary parts of your brain back online.

Then — and only then — do the systems and tools that work for others start to work for you, too.

The Three Step Process to Building Self Trust:

  • What we do.

    We start by understanding the automatic, adaptive states your nervous system gets caught in — the patterns that play on repeat.

    The first step is noticing what this looks like for you and when it tends to happen.

    ⭐ The skill you’ll develop: a steadier connection to your body.

  • Why we do it.

    Once we can see these patterns, we begin to understand why they happen.

    We explore what your past experiences — both conscious and subconscious — have taught you to watch for or protect against.

    ⭐ The skill you’ll develop: the ability to listen deeply — to yourself and to others.

  • What we choose to do moving forward.

    With knowledge and understanding of the automatic processes that have kept you alive, we can start working with them, not against them.

    This is where we begin to put systems and strategies in place that reduce cognitive load and help you move meaningfully toward your goals.

    ⭐ The skills you’ll develop: consistency and reliability.
