Don't let ADHD be the boss of you
BE THE BOSS OF YOUR ADHD
YOU CAN Take Control
of Your College Experience
Yes, ADHD can make college harder. You might be pulling all-nighters to meet deadlines, not sleeping or eating very well, struggling to build routines, or just generally feeling like you can't get it together when it seems like everyone else has it all figured out.
Here's what I know: Your ADHD doesn't mean you can't succeed at school. You just need to find strategies that work WITH your brain, not against it—and more clarity about what success actually looks like for YOU.
imagine a COLLEGE life where ...
-
Procrastination isn't tanking your GPA. (You break the cycle of shame and last-minute scrambling.)
-
Perfectionism stops holding you back. (You submit "good enough" work on time instead of perfect work never.)
-
Your emotions don't hijack your day. (Small setbacks don't send you into a tailspin.)
-
Your dorm room isn't a total disaster zone. (You can actually find your stuff.)
-
You have time for studying AND a social life. (College is supposed to be fun, too.)
-
You don't put self-care last on the list. (You feed your body and brain with decent food and more sleep.)
There's no magic wand that can make all this happen overnight, but you can start to implement ADHD-friendly strategies to reduce the stress and overwhelm that's been making you miserable.

YOUR BRAIN WORKS DIFFERENTLY
AND YOU CAN LEARN TO WORK WITH IT
ADHD isn't a character flaw. It's a neurobiological difference that affects how you process information, manage time, and regulate emotions.
Most "college success tips" are designed for neurotypical brains. No wonder they don't work for you. You don't need to "try harder." You need strategies that work WITH your ADHD, not against it.

What to expect When we work together
No cookie-cutter plans. No judgment.
Just realistic strategies tailored to YOUR brain, YOUR schedule, and YOUR goals. This is a collaboration where your voice really matters.
Getting Started
In our 2-hour kickoff meeting, we'll:
-
Get to know each other and build trust
-
Identify your biggest challenges (both academic and personal)
-
Uncover what's worked for you in the past (and what hasn't)
- Map out your next action steps
Weekly 1-HOUR Sessions
Each week, we’ll meet for an hour to:
-
Review your wins, because celebrating progress matters!
-
Troubleshoot current challenges
-
Adjust strategies based on what's working and what's not
-
Plan your week ahead so you feel proactive, not reactive
Between sessions, you'll have text/email support for quick questions or when you need a pep talk.
YOUR ACTIVE PARTICIPATION
This is a total collaboration. We have to work together to brainstorm and develop tools so you can feel confident and capable on your own. That means:
-
You'll try new strategies (even when they feel uncomfortable).
-
You'll give me honest feedback about what's working (and what's not).
-
You'll show up ready to engage and experiment (and grow).
The students who see the biggest transformations? The ones who commit to the process and stay curious about what's possible.
HOW this works
Evidence-Based Strategies
+ Nervous System Regulation
= Real Results
Somatic Techniques
For Your Body & Your Brain
Learn to recognize stress signals in your body BEFORE you hit overwhelm. Release the fight-flight-freeze response so you can actually think clearly during high-pressure moments (like exams or presentations).
Mindfulness Practices
Centering Yourself
Create a calm internal space where you can shift out of negative thought spirals. Build new, positive patterns that support your success instead of sabotaging it.
Parts
Work
Internal Family Systems & More
Quiet the harsh inner critic that says "you're lazy" or "you'll never get it together." Make space for the supportive internal voices that help you move forward with compassion and confidence.
Practical ADHD Strategies
Taking Action
Time-blocking, body doubling, Pomodoro technique, external brain systems, accountability structures—all the tactical tools that make daily life more manageable.
What Clients Are Saying
