Adlerian Marriage & Family Therapist,
Educator, ADHD Specialist

I have spent over 30 years navigating the twists and turns of marriage, as well as 25+ years raising high-energy, chaotic kids who don't conform to society's or school's standards. Despite not fitting in, my children are quirky, funny, and possess ginormous hearts. Throughout the past two decades, I have dedicated myself to helping my family successfully navigate the challenges that come with ADHD. Now, I am extending my expertise to assist others in finding independence, success, and bringing joy back into their parenting and family life!

When working with new individuals or families facing ADHD-related struggles, I begin by offering a compassionate and understanding ear. It is important for me to create a safe space for open communication. Additionally, I provide education on ADHD to normalize the difficulties associated with this condition. By gaining insight and understanding into how ADHD affects daily life, we can shift our focus towards effective problem-solving strategies.

𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Once we have established a foundation of empathy and knowledge about ADHD, we embark on a journey of co-creating solutions that address the specific challenges you face due to your ADHD. Together, we work towards finding practical strategies that enhance your ability to manage time effectively, improve organization skills, develop coping mechanisms for impulsivity and distractibility, strengthen relationships, boost self-esteem and overall well-being.

Imagine someone trying to read a book without their glasses. No matter how hard they squint, the words stay blurry.

Now, just like we wouldn’t blame someone for needing glasses, we shouldn’t treat ADHD as a behavior problem or a lack of willpower. It’s not a choice — it’s how the brain is wired.

What people with ADHD need isn’t judgment, but the right tools, strategies, and support. 💛

Let’s shift the focus from blame to understanding — because when we do, we lift each other up. 💪❤️

ADHD isn’t about knowing less — it’s about brains that sometimes struggle to act on what they already know. A little compassion goes a long way. 💛

So here’s the thing—ADHD doesn’t just p**f and vanish when you hit adulthood. Nope. It just changes costumes. 🎭

One minute you’re crushing work deadlines, the next you’re like, “Wait… where did I put my keys?!” 🙃 And don’t get me started on the emotional rollercoaster.

But here’s the good news—you’re sooo not alone in this. There are actually tons of tools and tricks that make adulting-with-ADHD a lot more doable (and even fun).

Remember: it’s not about being perfect—it’s about showing up a little better than yesterday.

We usually picture ADHD as the “hyper little boy” bouncing off the walls, right? But here’s the thing—that’s not the whole story.

For a lot of girls and women, ADHD looks completely different. Instead of constant motion, it might show up as:

♡ Worry and anxiety
♡ Perfectionism (trying to get everything just right)
♡ Quiet distraction, like zoning out or daydreaming

And because these signs don’t grab attention the way hyperactivity does, many girls slip through the cracks—undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years.

Research backs this up: ADHD in females is more often linked to inattentive symptoms and internalized struggles rather than obvious hyperactivity.

The more we recognize these differences, the better we can support girls and women with ADHD. 💛

Sometimes the best way to support someone with ADHD isn’t about having all the answers—it’s just about being there.

ㅤ♡ Really listen.
ㅤ♡ Acknowledge what they’re feeling.
ㅤ♡ Show a little empathy.

Life moves fast, and it’s easy to jump straight into “fixing” mode. But often, what people need most is to feel heard and understood. Your presence can be the calm in their storm.

It doesn’t take perfect words—just a caring ear can go a long way. 💕

Let’s build a community where kindness and understanding come first.

Tag a friend who shows this kind of support! 🙌

Just stumbled upon this video and HAD to share.

Have you ever heard phrases like these?
“Why can't you focus?”
“What do you mean you forgot?”
“You have so much potential!”
“You’re just lazy.” 😩💔

If you or someone you know has ADHD, these phrases might hit a little too close to home.

Check out this eye-opening TedTalk by Salif, where he dives deep into the roots of ADHD and offers a fresh perspective. He highlights not only the challenges but also the unique strengths that come with it. You may watch this in YouTube too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWCocjh5aK0
