Building Better Brains
Applying the 5C’s of ADHD™ in Real Time
If you would like more tools for using the 5C’s of ADHD™ in your daily life, then the Building Better Brains Signature webinar series is for you. I created this virtual classroom for individuals and families who live with ADHD and neurodivergence to enhance their strategies and build community.
Building Better Brains is a place where you can learn relatable, practical strategies, share your stories with like-minded folks and feel supported in your journey. These unique workshops are grounded in the latest research and thinking about ADHD, neurodivergence and mental health challenges. They also offer a chance to work with me personally in the context of a group. You benefit from gathering insights and recommendations from a variety of people to help you move forward.
There are two types of Building Better Brains workshops and they both include slide presentations, free downloadable gifts, interactive polls, question and answer periods and live discussions.
The first type is a single recorded live webinar on a hot topic such as: “Beyond High School Graduation: How to help neurodivergent teens prepare for their next chapter” or “Stop telling me what to do: Helping kids with ADHD reduce arguing and build cooperation.” The second type of workshop is a time-limited, ongoing group that typically lasts for eight to ten weeks. These groups offer more in-depth explorations of topics and include optional weekly homework, a private Facebook group, ‘spotlight’ individual consultations with me and access to the recordings for six months. For example: “Confident and calmer: Tools for reducing anxiety and living with more resilience” or “Thriving with ADHD: A Parent Support Group.”
My Mission For Creating the Building Better Brains Signature Series
My mission for the Building Better Brains Signature Series is to engage, educate and empower parents, individual adults, couples and college students about the complexities of living with uniquely wired brains or supporting a neurodivergent loved one. These seminars help strengthen techniques for improving executive functioning skills, managing intense emotions and increasing productivity at school or work.
The topics range from time management, self-regulation, disorganization, procrastination or anxiety to connectedness, self-confidence or resilience and – and everything in between!
Why the Building Better Brains Series is Transformational For All Who Participate
- You will learn how to use 5C’s of ADHD™ in a variety of situations: Instead of trying to do things on your own and feeling frustrated or isolated, participate in groups or classes with people who share your struggles. Together, with my input and guidance, we delve into all things ADHD and beyond, brainstorming solutions based on current trends, clinical expertise and lived experiences.
- You will develop a variety of helpful and practical solutions: Integrating the latest research with current clinical trends, I help you understand how ADHD and neurodivergence impact the brain. Then we integrate research about the developing brain with techniques based on cognitive-behavioral therapy, positive psychology, family systems theory and insight-oriented psychotherapy for improving executive functioning skills related to daily life.
- You will increase your competence and confidence: This series allows participants to feel seen and heard in novel ways. By increasing compassionate acceptance, you boost your ability to meet people with ADHD where they are, not where you think they should be. Just as importantly, you will learn how to treat yourself with more kindness and patience and lower shame. Using techniques based on mindfulness, visualizations, internal family systems and rewriting your own stories, I will guide you towards having more positive self-talk and stronger growth mindsets. As you shift your perspectives, you nurture resilience and confidence.
The Lasting Effects of the Building Better Brains Signature Series
These webinars and groups have changed participants’ lives. Folks walk away with greater understanding and effective tools that make using the 5C’s of ADHD™ easier and more accessible. Being part of this community means knowing you are not alone with uncooperative kids, frustrating partners or disappointing work situations. Whether the issues involve anxiety, depression, motivation, adulting or relationship conflicts, the strategies and tools offered in this series will shift stuckness into activation, negativity into encouragement and loneliness into connection.

My Philosophy
I believe being neurodivergent with ADHD means you have a unique and valuable way of seeing the world and expressing yourself. I have dedicated my life’s work to helping people with all things ADHD (and beyond) to reduce anxiety, depression and other mental health issues, improve executive functioning skills, and embrace their neurodivergent brains. With the compassion and practicality of my 5C’s of ADHD™ approach, I’m here to offer you direct support, evidence-based strategies and lasting change in the Building Better Brains Signature Series.
My approach and educational material come from decades of academic excellence, current research and clinical experience. Relying on positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, I show individuals and families how to transform limiting beliefs into confidence and compassion in these groups and classes. You will go from conflict and frustration to collaboration, celebration and connection.
