Growth and Development for Adults, College Students, Teens and Parents
We often know where we want to end up, but the path ahead can be hard to find. Coaching helps you build awareness and harness your strengths, empowering you to get unstuck, navigate obstacles and make progress toward the things that matter to you.

Life coaching with an ADHD lens. Whatever challenges you’ve set before yourself, ADHD always makes things a little more interesting. Adults pursue ADHD coaching to help them grow in any area of their life: career; health; parenting; graduate school. ADHD coaching is different from life coaching in that the coach understands ADHD and how it might be playing a role. As clients gain more insight and awareness into their ADHD they are more able to harness their strengths and move towards their goals.

ADHD can bring new challenges as students move through high school and college. As academic rigor increases and demands on executive function skills expand, many students with ADHD find themselves treading water and tiring fast. Coaching at this stage centers around the strengths, passions and goals of the student. We co-create structures, skills and accountability needed for success with a focus on strengthening executive function skills for school and life.

Parenting a child with ADHD can be an exhausting adventure. Parents often find themselves working extremely hard to scaffold their child, advocate for their child, organize appointments for their child, educate themselves and just get through the day. Coaching for parents centers around listening to the goals and frustrations of the parent, identifying the parent’s strengths and helping them create new paths that lead to the parent/child relationship they want.

Though ADHD coaching may be my specialty I am first and foremost an ICF trained Life Coach. I coach clients on all aspects of their lives from work and career to relationships and long-term goals. As your coach, I partner with you “to help you see new possibilities, find alternate routes and ensure you don’t lose focus,” (ICF Website) all the while keeping you in the drivers seat of your own life. If you are at a point where you want to move forward in your life and think coaching might support you, contact me and we can talk about what coaching could look like.
Thanks for stopping by – here is a little bit about me: I live with my husband, 3 children, dog, cat and chickens. I love gardening, walking in the woods and practicing yoga.
Over the past 25 years, I have worked in management roles in non-profit fundraising and taught children from preschool to high school. I have found that the through-line of all these experiences is helping people find their passion and supporting them as they navigate obstacles to achieve their goals. Through this time, I have worked with many neurodivergent individuals, as well as having 3 children of my own with ADHD and language based learning differences. This has driven me to learn as much as I can about how people with differently wired brains thrive. I currently work part of my time as an Executive Function Coach at an independent secondary school in Massachusetts and part of my time coaching clients through my own business.
Graduate work: I hold a graduate certificate from Landmark College in Neurodiversity and Learning Differences with a focus on Executive Function Skills. I also completed a capstone project where I designed a year-long college-coaching program for students with ADHD.
Coach Training and Certification: I am a professionally trained Life and ADHD Coach, having completed all my course work through Mentor Coach. I am currently working on the final steps of my International Coaching Federation Certification (Life Coach) at the ACC level and Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (ADHD Coach) at the CACP level. I plan to complete my certification requirements in early 2026.
My approach to coaching is to help you uncover your strengths and honor your passions. I am your partner as you work through obstacles to create a life you love.
