Frequently Asked Questions
-
Coaching is a collaborative partnership built on a simple premise: you are capable, resourceful, and already hold the answers to your own life. My job is to ask the questions that help you find them, and to build the structure and accountability that turn insight into action.
Together we focus on the practical stuff — planning, time, energy, priorities, follow-through, and the systems that support the life you actually want to live. Sessions are 50 minutes, held virtually.
-
Coaching is not therapy, diagnosis, or advice. I don't treat mental-health conditions or tell you what to do. If something comes up in our work that falls outside my scope of practice, I will say so and refer you to the right kind of support.
-
Insurance does not cover coaching. If cost is a concern, I'm happy to talk it through on our discovery call.
It helps to think of coaching as an investment in yourself — closer in spirit to a gym membership, a class, or continuing education than a medical expense.
My role during Discovery is for you to understand the value that coaching can provide, so that you are ready for the commitment.
-
The field of coaching is unregulated (in the US), which is why training matters. I trained through the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), a rigorous program that offers dual credentialing through the International Coach Federation (ICF) and the Professional Association for ADHD Coaches (PAAC). Every tool I might offer a client is one I have practiced myself.
-
Research is emerging and more is still needed. What we do know is that the best predictors of success are your willingness to commit to the process, the fit between us, and your own desire for growth.
There are other resources that can produce similar results. For many people with ADHD, the challenge is that sorting through information, making decisions, and following through are the very executive functions that are hardest. A coach makes that part lighter.
-
The two outcomes I care most about:
A stronger relationship with yourself. Real self-esteem — the kind that comes from doing what you said you would do — is the through-line of this work.
Strategies that are yours. Personalized systems that fit your brain, so eventually you can coach yourself.
Great coaching isn't an endless commitment. It's a launchpad. My goal is to give you what you need to keep going on your own.
-
Coaching complements therapy, tutoring, mentoring, and medication — it doesn't replace any of them. Many clients work with a therapist and a coach at the same time, and the two do very different, very useful things.
-
No, my practice is open to all adults who are struggling with ADHD and Executive Function challenges. My speciality is borne out of my lived experience navigating the challenges women face in midlife.
