What is ADHD Coaching and how does it work?
In short: an ADHD coach is part of the puzzle in helping you manage your ADHD in every day life. Bringing a coaching into your support team can help you move through your life with more calm and less chaos by figuring out specific ways YOU need help managing your ADHD symptoms. There is no one size fits all for our neurodivergent brains, so a coach can help you weed through the nuances of how your unique brain works, giving you the knowledge to tackle tasks and thought patters that have previously held you back.

No worries at all! You are exactly where you are supposed to be in this journey and 100% welcomed to this space, just as you are. You will set the pace of our time together, so no drinking from a fire hose. Well, not too much anyway.
How effective is ADHD coaching for adults?
Studies show coaching can lead to improvements in anxiety, interpersonal interactions, planning, organization, assertiveness, self-efficacy, motivation, and time management.
How can I get the most from ADHD coaching?
Be open minded and willing to relearn some “facts” of life that are actually not (and never were) facts. The biggest thing that will take you the furthest in this coaching journey is your WILLINGNESS to be coached.
