Understand your brain better.

ADHD Therapy Seattle

ADHD Management for People-pleasers

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, or suspect you have it, you’re in the right place.

Once again you find yourself struggling to stay on task, find motivation, or meet deadlines. Your desk is littered with post-it notes of urgent reminders from work. You’ve made your 4th to-do list this week, hoping that it motivates you to complete necessary errands. All while crossing your fingers that you didn’t accidentally forget to write down an important appointment or event.

Your loved ones express frustration when they don’t hear back from you, especially after you’ve cancelled on them. This makes you feel like a failure and like you’re letting people down. You don’t know how to tell them that your social battery is damn near empty and just the thought of writing out a text is too much. So your brain moves on to the book you’d rather read, the show you’d rather watch, or the craft you’d rather create. Next thing you know, you’ve forgotten your loved ones exist and now you’re battling with guilt and shame for being a “crappy (insert relationship role here).”

All of this is just the tip of the chaotic iceberg you call your brain. You’re not quite sure how to work with it or how to make life easier, but you’re certain that it’s become exhausting to manage and you’re ready for some help.

Learn to work with your brain, not against it.

I’ll support and guide you through understanding your brain and it’s processes better, while finding tools that make managing life easier.

WHAT WE’LL DO TOGETHER

ADHD therapy Seattle can help you:

Understand your brain

Making sense of how your brain operates and processes information will alleviate the shame and guilt that comes from not knowing why you are the way you are. Together we will find tools that work with your brain and help you feel less anxious and more organized. You don’t have to feel ashamed of being neurodivergent and life doesn’t have to be so challenging.

Normalize your experience

When you accept and work with your ADHD, you’ll no longer be held back by doubt and confusion. You’ll find ways to manage your symptoms and communicate your support needs without wondering if you’re a burden or a failure. Therapy is a great space to not only find helpful tools, but to also heal from the shame and guilt of managing a neurospicy brain.

Change your narrative

You’ve likely internalized negative messages about your brain or behaviors. This has made you believe that you are not reliable, good enough, or capable. Unlearning these beliefs allows you to repair relationships and reconnect with yourself. Your brain isn’t broken and it just takes intentional and thoughtful change to get organized, build confidence, and feel less anxious.
