ADHD

I'm certified in working with ADHD and I also have ADHD, so I bring lived experience and clinical knowledge to this issue. I will work with you to develop skills and techniques to address your challenges. I'll help you understand how your brain is structured differently and works differently. And we might want to work on some of the perfectionism and harsh self-talk that often comes with ADHD. See my website for videos with more information on my approach.

You deserve cutting edge, practical information from a clinician that knows their shit…. and values your lived experience and the feedback of the communities we serve. We know that lived experience is what makes therapy useful and without it, we wouldn’t be here.

Kim uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help individuals with ADHD manage impulsivity, emotional regulation, and focus. By incorporating mindfulness practices, clients learn to stay grounded in the present moment, improving attention and decision-making. Kim also provides strategies for managing stress, setting boundaries, and improving interpersonal relationships, helping ADHD clients thrive in both personal and professional areas.

I work with children and adults that have been diagnosed with ADHD. I also provide assessments. I specialize in DBT and emotional regulation training to assist with coping mechanisms and life strategies.

My approach is to assist with developing strategies and skills for daily life, as well as helping clients identify, process, and manage emotional conditions related to ADHD, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and rejection sensitivity.

I bring to ADHD therapy the knowledge and experience of a lifetime of living with the condition. While medication can be helpful there are a host of tools to help you manage your life better and get more done. Things such as block planning, dietary modifications, ways to stick with exercise, sleep hygiene, productivity tricks for work, how ADHD affects relationships, clutter, and how to work with your nature not against it!

I also offer ADHD coaching for those with suspected or diagnosed ADHD. Together, we’ll work on practical skills and provide accountability to tackle challenges like procrastination, disorganization, rejection sensitivity, depression, and anxiety.

ADHD is treated pharmacologically with a variety of stimulants and non-stimulants. These medications effect cognition and motor activity, and it is important to understand the paradoxical reaction they offer. Adult ADHD can drastically affect many aspects of an individual's life and should be evaluated and treated appropriately.

I spent a majority of my clinical experience working under a neuropsychologist learning the ins and outs of ADHD.

I was undiagnosed until I was 25. For 25 years, I thought I was stupid, lazy, careless, and a failure. Therapy helps to shed these internalized beliefs that no longer serve us. Therapy can also help with learning about your own ADHD blindspots and how to navigate them in a way that works for you.

While I work with clients of varied identities and neurotypes, I work quite often with late-discovered/diagnosed Autistic and/or ADHD adults. Whether you’re in the early days of exploring a potential neurodivergent identity, or processing a recent self or formal neurodivergent diagnosis, I’m passionate about supporting clients through this process and the complex emotions that come with it.

My household contains 3 of us diagnosed with ADHD and one neurotypical dad/husband. My obsession with ADHD has helped me to develop a more positive outlook to provide to clients that includes turning our ADHD into our superpower.

I have worked with many patients with ADHD working in an intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization program over 2 years. I have also worked with people with ADHD in a residential program for eating disorders.

Everyone encounters stress during their lives at one point—never-ending bills, demanding schedules, work, and family responsibilities—and that can make stress seem inescapable and uncontrollable. For people with ADHD this stress can be even more pronounced with their compromised executive functioning and associated focusing difficulties. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them better manage their ADHD.
