In most relationships, someone is in charge but in a good coaching relationship, no one is. It is a partnership. Both parties have responsibilities to the other party. The coaches role is to: Believe the coachee is naturally creative resourceful and whole Create an environment where the coachee is comfortable to open up Hold the […]
High School can be full of stress these days. Summer is a great time to take a step back to evaluate yourself and grow into a better version of yourself. The purpose of the group is to develop a toolbox so that members gain self-awareness, accountability, education about ADHD and build skills. We will be […]
I love working with artists of all types. Their creative energy is amazing. As a coach, I don’t give my clients the answers. We explore who they are to find examples of what works for them in partnership. Sometimes in working with artists the solutions are not something that I would have thought off but […]
I use a framework for coaching. I call this framework awareness, action, and accomplishment. It might look like this if I were to show it visually. The basis comes from a coach training I participated in. Other coaches use different words but I use these words with my client because they seem to resonate best […]
It is almost a case of what came first; did the poor self-care habits cause the disorganization or did being disorganized cause the poor self-care habits? Well, probably a little of both.

You can’t help someone if you are struggling. […]

It is about understanding and providing support for now and for the rest of her life. I know parents who are against the use […]
For most ADHD/ life coaches, adults find their services because the client feels that he/she could benefit from coaching. But I am working mostly with students with ADHD. There are some differences: Students (middle school and high school) don’t always notice they need support either because of their age, their ADHD or both. Most of […]
Self-care is an important part of life. There is loads of talk about it these days but what is it and how does ADHD affect it. There are several types of self-care. Physical Self-Care is what most of us think about when we think about self-care. It is about our most basic physical needs. It […]
Sometimes when I ask a new client to tell me what he/she knows about ADHD, he/she can’t really tell me. Some just say, “I can’t focus on anything.” But that isn’t really the whole truth. When I change the questions to “what is challenging for you?” I tend to get responses like: I procrastinate, I […]
