Everyone with ADHD needs a cheerleader. I'm so happy to be my high school clients' source of unconditional acceptance and encouragement! My client, "A," is learning how to align her actions with her desired identity.

The power of questions. When you see your teen or college student delay a non-preferred yet important task, it’s hard to resist nagging. But we ADHD’ers rarely respond to pressure when the source of our procrastination is performance anxiety, uncertainty about how to start, or executive dysfunction. We may not even know why we delay these tasks, despite knowing how the delay may hurt us. Replacing a nagging question with a curious or supportive one will get you further every time!

When Jennifer A. came to me for parent coaching, she couldn't get her 11 year old son to take a shower without melting down. Folks with ADHD are more sensitive to transitions and changes in sensory input. After one coaching session in which we collaborated on a few strategies, she texted me: "It actually WORKED!" Her son now takes a shower independently, a great relief to his busy mom. I love collaborating with parents to make their kids' and their lives easier and more joyful!

A client told me she took her medication with the intention to complete homework but ended up spending hours working on a personal art project about her favorite TV show. 🤷 Stimulant medications increase the availability and efficient transport of dopamine in our brains. 🧠 Dopamine is key for focus , motivation., and mood. However, meds don't teach us HOW to use our increased abilities to accomplish important tasks or HOW to direct our focus. Most of us need structure and strategies to maximize our medication so we can reach our goals.

If you worry about "enabling" your kid, you're not alone! I hear this a lot from parents. Enabling is a well-intentioned short-term fix, but it can delay the development of a person with ADHD and deflate their self esteem. When we enable, we do the work for the other person instead of empowering the person to do the work themselves. When we EMPOWER, we help the person identify and apply skills, strengths, structure, and resources to achieve their goals independently. If you're worried you're enabling your teen or college student, DM me and I can offer some quick tips.

It's not your fault.
You’ve read the books.
You’ve Googled the strategies.
You’ve stayed up late wondering how to reach your kid.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental difference. This means your kid's executive functioning may be as far as three years' behind their non-ADHD peers.

I’m starting a small virtual group for parents of kids with ADHD where we talk honestly about what’s actually happening at home and what strategies truly help our kids' ADHD brains.

No judgment.
No “perfect parenting” expectations.
Just real conversation and practical tools.

If you’re curious about the group, call or text me and we can talk privately about whether it might help.

Sometimes the best next step is just talking to someone who gets it.

"I FEEL LIKE THE BEST MOM." When this mom came to me, she had tried every trick in her book to help her daughter complete homework. Every night felt like a battle, and she was afraid it had begun to damage their relationship. After 6 parent coaching sessions, I received this text message. I have the best job ever!
