ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a brain-based condition that affects how people maintain focus, stay organized, manage their time, and control their emotions and impulses. It is generally present from childhood and usually continues into adulthood. Everyone’s unique experience and challenges with ADHD is different, but it can often make school, work, daily life and relationships more challenging.

ADHD life coaching is a specialized type of coaching designed to help people with ADHD and those with ADHD-like Executive Functioning Skill deficits, such as poor time management, disorganization, impulsivity and distractibility.

It is a solution-based practice of that employs a combination of active listening and powerful questioning. This method allows clients to gain deeper self-awareness of their underlying challenges and helps them establish and achieve personalized goals designed to create meaningful and lasting change.  

While coaches don’t diagnose or provide therapy, they create a collaborative and safe space for in-depth exploration, serve as an accountability partner, and supply support where needed. The goal of coaching is to help the client experience improvement in all areas of life including work or school performance, managing daily responsibilities, and relationships with partners, family, and colleagues.

Executive functioning skills are the mental tools we use to manage time, plan, organize, prioritize, maintain focus, regulate emotions, and begin and follow through with both simple tasks and long-term goals. They are necessary for managing daily life. When these skills aren’t developed or working well—whether because of ADHD or something else—life can feel difficult and overwhelming. Coaching helps build and strengthen these important skills in ways that actually work for you.

I work with high-school aged teens, college students, adults and professionals. Although some of my clients have an ADHD diagnosis, many of my clients are either “undiagnosed” or do not have ADHD, but struggle with executive functioning skills and managing their daily lives.

Not at all. While I specialize in ADHD and executive functioning, many of my clients don’t have a diagnosis. Coaching is for anyone—teens, college students, adults, and professionals—who want support with time management, organization, motivation, or achieving personal and professional goals. If you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck, coaching can help you build clarity, confidence, and momentum to make meaningful changes—no formal diagnosis needed.

Sessions begin with identifying the client’s specific goals, exploring and uncovering obstacles, and developing practical and sustainable strategies to implement between sessions. 

Most clients meet weekly or twice weekly, depending on their needs. We’ll work together to figure out what works best for you.

Yes! All sessions are held online via Zoom, allowing clients access to support from anywhere.

Coaching packages and individual session rates are available upon request. I also offer a complimentary consultation session to explore whether we’d be a good fit.

Coaching is typically not covered by insurance, as it is not a medical or mental health service. However, some clients may be able to use HSA/FSA funds.

Cancellations require 24 hours’ notice to avoid a cancellation fee. Cancellation Policy details are outlined in the coaching agreement.

Many clients notice improvements within a few weeks, but lasting change typically takes a few months of consistent work.

Coaching is tailored to address the client’s unique goals and challenges. This can include procrastination, time-management, organization, decision-making, task initiation and completion (to name a few).

Depending on the situation, I often provide custom strategies, tools, or exercises for clients to try between sessions to maintain or develop further progress. It is up to the client to determine when and if they want to use the tools, but there is no pressure.

You can book a 20-minute Complimentary Consultation. We’ll talk about your challenges and goals, and explore whether coaching, and working with me, would be a good fit for you.

If we’re a good fit, the next step is to schedule a 90-minute Strategy & Planning Session. This session gives us the time to dive deeper into your current challenges, clarify your goals, and start building a personalized plan to move you forward.

These sessions are typically once or twice a week. Once the session goal(s) have been established, we’ll work together to uncover obstacles and hidden barriers, as well as finding the clarity, support, and practical solutions you need to move forward. Whether you’re working on time-management, emotional (dys)regulation, parenting strategies, or building confidence—we’ll focus on what matters most to you.
