ADHD coaching is a partnership. We work together to help you notice what’s getting in your way, figure out what you actually need (not just what you “should” be doing), and take doable, meaningful steps forward.
The reason coaching can be life-changing is because our brains are wired to keep us “safe”, not necessarily happy or fulfilled. Your brain is working hard to keep you doing what you’ve always done, even if it’s not serving you. I come alongside you with curiosity and empathy to open up new mental connections and pathways. Along the way you’ll create unique, tailor-made solutions that help you move forward, and that you’re actually excited about!As a life coach I get to create a safe space to explore your own life, and see and utilize the intelligence, creativity, and bravery inherent within that has likely been forgotten or minimized. In that space, growth and movement can flourish.

ADHD rarely shows up alone—my clients often have experience with anxiety, depression, or are deconstructing old narratives and belief systems. Coaching can be a powerful support but it’s not a substitute for therapy.
If you're currently in a state of mental crisis, or want to work through trauma that hasn’t yet been processed, therapy is a better starting point.
Coaching works best when you’re ready to take action toward change, even if you feel stuck or uncertain about how.If you’re managing Bipolar Disorder in addition to ADHD, I may not be the strongest support for you. Not because you’re “too much,” but because I want to honor both your needs and the extent of my own expertise.

You can come to a session knowing exactly what you want to work on next—or feeling overwhelmed with no idea what you want to work on. My job is to help you find clarity, and uncover the next aligned steps no matter how you come into a session.
I’ll ask questions that help you see things in a new light and reconnect with your inner brilliance, and self-trust.
Some sessions are practical. Some are emotional. Some are full of laughter. We ebb and flow through all of it, depending on what’s helpful in the moment.

That’s not just ADHD—that’s human.
Sometimes, the idea of consistency can feel very black-and-white for those of us with ADHD—it’s pass or fail. It becomes another thing to get “right,” or to feel shame about when you don’t.
Instead of more of the same, we build systems flexible enough to move with the rhythms of your real life. Starting again (and again) takes strength. This is a space that honors that.
Failure is part of learning. When we can look at it together, without shame—it can become a powerful tool to move you forward. Shortening the gap between failure, and getting back up again is part of the work. -
People with ADHD often experience big, strong emotions. One minute you're talking about being late to a meeting, and the next, tears start flowing.
You don’t have to compartmentalize yourself here. Whether it’s frustration, joy, grief, or the relief of being understood—all of you is welcome.

ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a condition that makes access to executive function difficult and the sometimes seemingly simple tasks associated with it arduous. Executive function encompasses things like the ability to plan, prioritize, organize, initiate tasks and also emotional regulation. Persons with ADHD tend to have lower amounts of dopamine, which is the "happiness" neurotransmitter, and less blood flow to the frontal lobe, which is the area of the brain in charge of executive function.

Because people with ADHD often grow up getting in trouble more, or having to work incredibly hard to keep their behavior socially acceptable, a deep sense of shame can develop. So, when a rejection is felt, even though it might seem small or trivial to others, it sits on top of a large accumulation of past rejections and triggers a feeling of not being good enough. Because the typical methods that work for neurotypical individuals often don't work for those with ADHD, being handed more methods that worked for others can often exacerbate the feelings of rejection.
