About Me

Tacoma, WA, United States
I was the Executive Director of the national non-profit organization, Attention Deficit Disorder Resources, (addresources.org), for 15 years. I am well prepared to provide you with excellent coaching. I graduated from the International Coach Academy, a coaching school certified by the Inter-national Coach Federation and I have a Master's Degree in Social Work. Over the past 15 years, I have talked with numerous people about their ADHD concerns and have attended or presented at a number of ADHD workshops and conferences. I have lived, and eventually thrived, with ADHD which was diagnosed when I was 49. I am married and have three adult sons, two with ADHD. I live in Tacoma, WA although born and raised in a small New England town. I was in the Peace Corps, toured China in 1983 when it first opened to the outside world, and seen much of the United Staes, especially our beautiful national parks. My interests, beyond helping people with ADHD achieve their full potential, are playing brain games on the computer, reading, travel, bicycling, skiing and hiking.

Finding the Right Balance

Do you ever feel your life is like a see saw--either too busy and overwhelming or too flat with nothing going on.? You are either going full bore ahead, getting yourself burned out, or you are wasting hours watching TV because you are too exhausted to attempt anything else? While we love the excitment of having lots going on, we dread the ennui that sets in when not much is happening and we start to wonder, "Is this all life has to offer?" People with ADHD will go to drastic measures to prevent boredom.

Dr. Hallowell says that people with ADHD need to have their minds engaged to feel alive.
But having too many irons in the fire can make us overwhelmed and irritable. Having too few, makes life flat and dull. We can't tolerate that flat feeling so we swing between overload and under load, trying to find the right balance. Do you want help in creating balance in your life?
