Feelings of overwhelm can be caused by many different things but one of the most frequent causes is when there is too much going on or a task seems to big to tackle. Feeling overwhelmed can often stop individuals with ADHD from completing the things they need to get done regardless of how simple or complex they are.

ADHD can cause some very frustrating symptoms but through learning to understand how our brains work we can accept ourselves for who we are and take steps towards becoming our best selves. All of my ADHD classes offer a supportive and positive environment for ADHD learners to feel accepted and heard. Having ADHD myself allows me to truly connect with the struggles that the learners are facing and offer mentor ship and advice.
