Concierge ADHD Coaching

Individuals with ADHD often experience immense shame. They know they are bright and capable, but they also know they have significant challenges doing things that other people seem to do naturally and easily. They feel that they should be able to do things that come so easy for others. A lifetime of being told that they aren’t living up to their potential or that that they could reach their goals if only they would focus and try harder adds an additional layer of guilt and shame.

According to famed shame researcher, Brenee Brown, the antidote to shame is empathy—the emotional and physical warmth that allows people to be heard and understood and validates their experiences and feelings.

My first goal in coaching my clients is to empathize with their struggles, understand their perspective, and make sure they know they are not alone in their plight.

Although boys are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD, girls are increasingly being recognized as having ADHD. They may have fewer overt symptoms of hyperactivity, but studies show that their ADHD often continues into adulthood.

Educating students about the ADHD diagnosis and enhancing student self-esteem and self-confidence through understanding, awareness, skill building, & role-playing are just a few of the ways I foster the development of Self-Awareness and Self-Advocacy with my clients.
