Coaching supports the client in accomplishing their goals. In therapy, licensed mental health professionals diagnose and treat mental health conditions. Obviously there is some overlap – therapists can certainly talk about goals, and coaching conversations can touch on mental health topics, but the primary focus is different. 

Many of my coaching clients also work with a therapist. I find that coaching and therapy complement each other beautifully in a comprehensive ADHD support program.

ADHD coaching is not (currently) covered by insurance. However, ADHD coaching can be eligible for FSA/HSA reimbursement (check with your FSA/HSA administrator to be sure).

Coaching can also be covered by work-related funds, like start-up packages, research funding, professional development stipends, or departmental resources. I’m happy to work with your institution to bill them directly.

Coaching appointments are offered Mondays 10am-4pm, Tuesdays 1pm-4pm, and Wednesdays 10am-4pm, Pacific Time. 

Just like it can take multiple tries to find the right therapist, it can take multiple tries to find the right coach.
Every coach is going to vary in terms of personality, philosophy, and style. If my approach resonates with you, consider reaching out to see if we’re a good fit.

Nope! I work with people with diagnosed ADHD, with undiagnosed ADHD, and non-ADHDers who have ADHD-like struggles. If you’re having a tough time with executive functioning (planning, starting and finishing tasks, managing time, organization, accomplishing goals) – we should talk.

I hear that. With coaching, much like therapy, there are no guarantees. What I will say is that, over and over again, I have seen coaching make a profound difference in people’s lives. And I can guarantee that, as your coach, I will be a supportive, knowledgeable, and caring thought partner helping you navigate everything life throws at you.

I know that you are smart and resourceful – if there was a system out there that was going to “fix” everything, you would have found it by now! What makes my approach different is that, instead of assigning you a system that somebody else came up with, we examine your real life experience and creatively generate ideas for what will actually support you. 

While everyone is different, this is what usually happens:

-Within the first month, clients get “unstuck” on tasks they have been avoiding or procrastinating on
-Around two to three months, clients show a major shift in their approach to work, greater self-awareness, and improved self-acceptance
-For clients who choose to work with me long term, I’ve seen profound transformations continue to occur after six months and beyond.

Hey, we know that progress is never linear – especially when it comes to ADHD. Things go up, they go down, they go sideways, they zig, they zag, they squiggle. I’m here to support you through all of the twists and turns your journey might take, for as long as it is helpful to you.

I won’t give you another boring homework assignment to feel guilty about not doing. I do ask what steps you want to take between sessions. If you don’t do the steps you picked, it’s no big deal – it’s just an opportunity for us to figure out why those steps weren’t the right ones, and explore what you might want to try differently next time.

If there is one thing I have learned from Superkitties, the Disney Jr. show that my 3-year-old CANNOT stop watching, it’s that it is okay to ask for help!

Seriously, there is nothing wrong with getting support. Being a human is hard. Being a human with ADHD is really hard. Nobody gets through life all on their own – and coaches have professional expertise specifically in how to help you accomplish the things that matter to you.

My clients are brilliant, talented, and accomplished. Yet high achievers face their own unique challenges – even when everything looks good on paper. If you’re generally doing okay but still finding yourself stuck, overwhelmed, and blocked on the things you really care about, coaching could be a great fit.
