FAQs

It's a space to pause and have a real conversation about something you want to change, handle differently, or do better.

Most of the time there's a bigger goal underneath. Usually it connects to something about how you want to show up in your life, at work, or in your relationships. Coaching works toward that by looking at what's actually getting in the way.

That might mean questioning a long-held belief about yourself, looking at a pattern from a different angle, or trying a new approach and seeing what actually moves things forward. Nothing is prescribed. We figure out what fits you.

If you've never worked with a coach before, think of it as a thinking partner who knows how ADHD works and isn't going to tell you to just try harder.

Coaching tends to show up in very specific moments. When you sit down to start something and don't know where to begin. When a task feels equally urgent and impossible. When you planned your day and somehow did everything except what you intended. When a small interruption erases your momentum and you can't find your way back.

Those moments are frustrating precisely because you knew what you wanted to do. The intention was there. Something else got in the way.

In coaching we look closely at those moments. Not to judge them but to understand them. What was the friction? What made starting feel impossible? What pulled you off course? Once we understand the pattern underneath, we can figure out what kind of support actually helps and build from there.

With practice and over time the moments start to feel less like personal failures and more like something you know how to work with.

Avoidance is often misunderstood as a lack of discipline, but more often it’s a response to friction.

The task may feel unclear, too large, mentally demanding, or tied to pressure or expectations. Even when you care about the outcome, it is easier to avoid that discomfort by delaying the start.

In coaching we look at what's underneath the avoidance, find where the friction is coming from, and work on approaching the task in a way that makes starting feel more possible.

Many people notice that things work better when they have energy, time, and focus. The same things fall apart quickly when they don't.

That's often because the usual way they approach things relies on a level of effort that breaks down under stress. Planning, prioritizing, starting, and switching tasks all take more mental energy than it seems.

When you're tired or overwhelmed, it can become harder to hold onto a plan, decide where to begin, or follow through in the way you intended. You might find yourself avoiding, stalling, or shifting to smaller, less demanding tasks even when you know what you intended to do.

Together we look at how to build approaches that still work when your energy is low, not just when everything is going well.

Many people notice they can focus, decide, and follow through much more easily when something feels urgent.

Deadlines, last-minute pressure, or external expectations can create a level of clarity and momentum that’s harder to access otherwise. Without that pressure, tasks can feel less defined, less immediate, or harder to begin, even when they matter.

Over time, this can lead to a cycle of waiting until the last minute, then relying on urgency to get things done. When you finally begin, you finish, but it often comes with stress, rushing, or using more energy than you expected.

In coaching we look at what's underneath the pattern. What is it about the task that makes external pressure the only thing that moves you? Once we understand that, we can find what actually creates momentum for you, so you're not waiting on a deadline to decide for you.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and good at what they do, which can make inconsistency feel especially confusing.

Often the issue is being unable to access your ability consistently. You may have moments where things feel clear and manageable, and others where starting, deciding, or following through feels much harder.

This can create a pattern where your work doesn’t match your potential, even though you’re putting in real effort.

In coaching, we figure out how to make that access more consistent by reducing the friction points that interrupt it, not by just “working harder”.

When there’s too much to hold at once, you have trouble deciding where to begin.

Instead of prioritizing, it can feel like everything is equally urgent or equally hard, which makes starting any one thing feel overwhelming. At a certain point, doing nothing isn’t a lack of effort, it’s an overload response.

You might notice yourself avoiding, freezing, or doing smaller, less important tasks just to feel like you did something.

In coaching we work through what's creating the overload at the source, so decisions feel clearer and starting feels more manageable.

Time can feel clear when you’re thinking about your day, but much harder to track once you’re in it.

You might underestimate how long something will take, lose track of time while you’re working, or have difficulty shifting from one task to the next. Even with a plan, the day can unfold differently than expected.

This can make it hard to pace yourself or feel good about how your time is being spent.

Together we focus on making time more visible and easier to work with, so your plans feel more realistic and your day feels more manageable.

This often comes from a mismatch between effort and outcome. You may be putting in a lot of mental energy across thinking, planning, managing, and reworking, but you are not seeing that effort reflected in what actually gets completed.

It can feel like you’re always catching up, even when you’ve been busy all day. Part of this is that many of the challenges you’re navigating aren’t visible to other people, but they still take your real time and energy.

In coaching we look at where that energy is actually going and why. Sometimes it's the invisible overhead of managing everything in your head. Sometimes it's tasks that expand far beyond what they should. Understanding where the drain is coming from is the first step to making your effort feel like it's actually adding up.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what’s most relevant in your week.

We might look at something that didn’t go as planned, where you felt stuck, or something you’re trying to make progress on. From there, we explore what’s getting in the way and experiment with ways to approach it differently.

Over time, this builds both understanding and practical shifts you can carry into your day-to-day life.

Coaching focuses on how things are showing up in your day-to-day life right now especially where you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or inconsistent.

Rather than processing the past, we focus on understanding patterns and building ways of working that leverage your strengths, so things feel more manageable and sustainable.

It’s a collaborative, forward-looking process that blends reflection with practical change.

It varies. Some people come for a shorter period to work through a specific challenge, while others continue longer to build more consistent ways of working and thinking over time.

We can talk through what makes sense for you and adjust as we go.

I’m completing my ADHD coaching certification through the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), an internationally recognized program accredited by leading coaching organizations ICF and PAAC.

This training focuses on how ADHD shows up in real life especially in the moments where things break down, like starting, following through, or managing overwhelm, and how to work with those patterns in a practical, strengths-based way.

I also bring lived experience. I was diagnosed as an adult and am a parent of two children with ADHD, so I understand both the emotional weight and the day-to-day complexity that often come with it.

What that means for our work is that we’re looking closely at what’s actually happening for you, and building from there.

What I can tell you is you're getting someone who understands ADHD from the inside, who will listen closely, sit with what you share, and work with you to figure out what's actually underneath what's feeling hard.

Think of it like scaffolding. I provide the structure and the support. But the building is yours. The plans we make, the experiments we try, the shifts that happen come from what we figure out together and what you bring to it between sessions.

This isn't a workbook or a system or a set of tricks. What works is too individual for that. It's a collaborative process, and the people who get the most from it are ready to reflect, try things differently, and stay curious about what's actually going on.

I don't promise a specific outcome. I do promise to show up fully for the work every time.

Coaching can be a good fit if you feel capable, but notice things aren’t working as consistently as you’d like, especially around starting, follow-through, or managing day-to-day demands.

The best way to get a sense of fit is through a conversation. A consultation gives you space to talk through what’s been going on and see if this approach feels helpful to you.
