This work is for people who are capable — and still overwhelmed. Many of my clients are juggling life transitions, school, work, family, and financial stress while struggling with prioritization, follow-through, and burnout — and are tired of systems that don’t actually work for their brains.

You may:

• Start strong but struggle to follow through

• Feel chronically behind, even when you’re working hard

• Avoid tasks you care about because they feel too big

• Spend a lot of energy compensating or masking

• Have coped successfully for a long time, until increased responsibility or a major transition exposed how much you were compensating

• Be navigating your own ADHD while also trying to support a child or adolescent with the same diagnosis

Coaching takes you beyond insight and helps you build practical structure that holds up in real life.

One of the most frustrating experiences of having ADHD is doing all the "right things" and still not seeing results. The problem usually isn't effort or willpower. It's that the systems weren't designed with how your brain actually works.

My approach isn't about hacking your way through life or finding the perfect planner or productivity method. It's about understanding the specific friction points that are getting in your way, and building structures around your actual patterns — not an idealized version of who you think you should be. I also pay close attention to the emotional side of things: shame, avoidance, and the shutdown cycles that often sit underneath the practical stuff. Progress usually depends on addressing both.

I help clients create flexible, brain-aligned systems, make progress on avoided tasks, and build support structures that adapt to fluctuating attention and energy — without shame or perfectionism. Our work is collaborative, concrete, and focused on reducing overwhelm while increasing clarity, confidence, and momentum in daily life.

Therapy and coaching serve different purposes, and both are valuable — often at the same time. Therapy typically focuses on processing the past: understanding how your history has shaped your patterns, healing emotional wounds, and working through mental health challenges that are often co-occurring with ADHD. Coaching focuses on the present and future: building skills, creating systems and transforming awareness into action by providing accountability and structure that meets you where you are.

My work is grounded in clinical knowledge and informed by my background as a nurse practitioner, but it is coaching — not therapy or clinical treatment. If you're also working with a therapist or medical prescriber, as a coach, I complement that work. I can also help you prepare questions to bring to your provider, or think through your current treatment plan together.

A few things. Most ADHD coaches come from either a clinical background or a lived-experience background — rarely both. I bring them together. That means I can hold space for the emotional weight of this work while also understanding the neuroscience, the systems, and the medical context behind what you're experiencing. What I bring isn't just knowledge — it's the ability to translate that knowledge into action.

My background also positions me to help you navigate medical and educational systems, communicate effectively with providers, and ask better questions about your care — not just build better habits at home.

I'm also particularly attuned to the ways ADHD shifts across a lifetime: how it can look completely different in your 30s or 40s than it did as a kid, how major life transitions can make previously manageable challenges feel impossible, and how factors like hormones and life stage interact with executive functioning in ways that most people — including many providers — aren't looking for.

And understanding ADHD from the inside changes how I show up. I know what it's like to feel like you're constantly compensating, to have the insight without being able to translate it into action, and to struggle in ways that don't always make sense from the outside. That lived experience sits alongside my clinical training — and I think the combination is where my work is most useful.

Ongoing coaching is structured, continuous support — we build a relationship over time, work on executive functioning patterns, and develop systems that evolve as your life changes. It's especially useful if you're navigating multiple areas at once or want consistent accountability and structure.

Practical ADHD Support is more targeted. It's for when you have a specific, pressing challenge: you need to draft an accommodation request, you're preparing for a difficult workplace conversation, or something in your life has gotten stuck and you need focused, strategic help to move forward. It can stand alone or integrate with ongoing coaching work — whatever makes the most sense for where you are.

No. Many of my clients are undiagnosed, in the middle of an evaluation process, or self-identified. What matters more is whether the challenges you're experiencing resonate — difficulty following through, feeling overwhelmed by demands, struggling to translate intention into action, or just feeling like you're always working harder than everyone else for the same results.

If you're pursuing a formal diagnosis and want support navigating that process, I can help with that too.

Late diagnosis brings up a lot — often relief, but also grief, confusion, and a lot of questions about how to move forward. You're not alone in that. 

A good starting point is understanding how ADHD has actually been showing up in your life — not the textbook version, but your version. From there, we can identify what's most pressing: maybe that's understanding how to talk about your diagnosis at work, building better daily structures, or figuring out what to ask your prescriber. There's no single right entry point. We start where it makes sense for you.

Both. I work with adults navigating ADHD in their own lives, and I also work with parents who are supporting a child or adolescent with ADHD — whether or not the parent has ADHD themselves.

Parenting a child with ADHD can be exhausting and disorienting, especially when the strategies you've tried don't seem to be working. I can help you understand what's happening for your child developmentally, translate that knowledge into concrete responses at home, and navigate school systems and accommodation processes with more clarity and confidence.

No — coaching is not a licensed clinical service and is generally not covered by insurance. However, some clients are able to use HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds to pay for ADHD coaching, depending on their plan. This typically requires a Letter of Medical Necessity from your treating medical or mental health provider. It's worth checking with your plan administrator if you have one of these accounts and if there are any restrictions on how you use it.
