FAQs

ADHD coaching is a collaborative process that helps you build self-awareness, develop practical strategies, and move toward goals that matter to you. It’s not about fixing you — it’s about helping you work with your brain, not against it. 

In our sessions, we’ll focus on how your ADHD shows up in your life, what strengths you already have, and how to create systems, mindset shifts, and habits that support the life you want. 

Coaching is future-focused and action-oriented. While therapy often explores the past to support healing, coaching helps you move forward by identifying where you are now and where you want to go. 

That said, coaching can be a powerful complement to therapy. It’s not a substitute for mental health treatment — but if you’re ready to explore your goals, habits, and ADHD-related challenges in a supportive and nonjudgmental space, coaching may be a great fit. 

My coaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that every person with ADHD already holds the seeds of insight, strength, and potential — even if those seeds have been buried under years of shame, overwhelm, or trying to “keep up.” 

I believe in coaching as a partnership: you bring your lived experience, and I bring an ADHD-informed lens, compassionate presence, and tools to help you make meaningful change. Together, we create space for curiosity, not judgment. Exploration, not pressure. Growth, not perfection. 

I view ADHD not as a flaw to be fixed, but as a difference to be understood — and supported with strategies that are realistic, creative, and personal. Coaching isn’t about telling you what to do. It’s about helping you tune into your own wisdom, shift what’s not working, and build toward a life that feels aligned and possible. 

I’m currently completing certification through the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), an internationally recognized ADHD coach training program accredited by ICF and PAAC. My training focuses on coaching individuals with ADHD and executive function challenges using evidence-based, strength-based approaches. 

In addition to formal training, I bring lived experience — I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and am a parent of two children with ADHD. My background also includes years in a detail-driven professional role, giving me insight into both the external demands and internal experiences my clients often face. 

Certified ADHD coaches are trained in both coaching methods and ADHD-specific strategies. We understand how ADHD affects focus, motivation, organization, emotional regulation, and self-image — and we work with you to build sustainable, personalized systems that fit your brain. 

Unlike general life coaches, we receive specialized training in neuroscience, communication, and mindset. I also follow the ethical guidelines of ICF and PAAC, ensuring professionalism, confidentiality, and client-centered support. 

No diagnosis required! If you resonate with ADHD traits or have long felt like your brain works differently — coaching can still be deeply supportive. Many clients come to coaching in the midst of seeking a diagnosis, or simply wanting to understand themselves better. 

Each session is a supportive space to slow down, make sense of what’s going on, and decide where to focus next. Together, we’ll explore what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what matters most right now. 

You’ll leave each session with personalized insights, realistic next steps, and tools that align with how your brain works — not one-size-fits-all advice. Over time, coaching helps you build momentum, strengthen self-trust, and create systems that actually stick. 

It depends on what you’re looking for. Some people work with a coach for a couple of months to focus on a specific goal or area of growth. Others stay in coaching for 3 to 6 months (or more) as they integrate new tools and ways of thinking into daily life. Many clients find that ongoing coaching helps them stay accountable, build resilience, and deepen self-awareness over time. Together, we’ll figure out what’s right for you. 

Coaching is about creating meaningful, lasting change through a supportive and collaborative partnership. I guarantee that I will support you with empathy, proven strategies, and a personalized approach tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll explore your strengths, develop customized strategies, and take realistic steps toward your goals. 

What I don’t guarantee is a quick fix or specific outcomes — lasting change requires your engagement and action. I’m here to walk alongside you, providing guidance and encouragement as you put the work into practice and build momentum over time. 

That’s okay — coaching can help you find them. Many clients start without a clear sense of direction, just knowing they’re stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change. Together, we’ll uncover what matters most to you, and take steps toward it — even if it’s still unfolding. 

Both! I work with adults navigating ADHD in their own lives, and also with parents who are supporting ADHD in their children. Whether you’re seeking personal growth or better ways to support your family, I meet you where you are. 

That’s exactly what the First Steps consultation is for — a low-pressure space to ask questions, talk about your goals, and see if coaching feels like the right fit. There’s no commitment required — just the beginning of a conversation.
