I Work With...

Being an older adult with ADHD is a whole different experience. Rarely were you diagnosed as a child, and even if you were, generally it was not a good experience. You still might not have an official diagnosis, but your children or grandchildren do. So let me tell you a little about what coaching can do going forward.

There are days when you are sad, angry, or frustrated because of all the things that were lost because you were not diagnosed and had no idea of what was going on. Things were frequently a struggle; you were often made to feel bad about yourself, yelled at, told you were dumb, or lazy, or worse, though you knew you were trying as hard as you could. We can explore how this has impacted your life and how coaching can help you change your skills.

Coaching is a process of working with someone to learn new skills and problem solving so that you can figure out that you are creative, resourceful and fully capable of managing your own life. It’s not about me helping you but about us working together.

We’ll start with where you are, where you initially think you want to be (this can change so you don’t need to feel stuck with that goal), and how this vision of the future fits in with your values. Sometimes I think it’s about feeling comfortable in your own skin.
