About Coaching

Coaching is a guided process for understanding and working with your individual strengths. The ADHD brain has real advantages, but accessing them requires understanding how your brain actually operates. Coaching helps you identify what those strengths are and build the conditions to use them.

  • It starts with a free Consultation Call, a chance to get acquainted and talk through your situation. If we decide to move forward, the next step is a 90-minute Strategy and Planning Session, where we dig into your goals and map out a plan based on your strengths and values.

    From there, we meet for regular one-hour sessions focused on that plan and what's actually getting in the way.

    After each session, I'll send you an automatically generated summary with key takeaways and action items, so nothing gets lost.

  • Both are valuable, and there's some overlap. The core difference is orientation: therapy typically focuses on past experiences, while coaching is focused on where you want to go and how to get there. A coach asks the right questions to help you find your own answers.

  • Nope! I specialize in working with people who have ADHD or struggle with executive function — how we regulate emotions, initiate tasks, organize, and focus. If you haven't been formally diagnosed but something feels off in those areas, this work can still help.

  • Yes! Coaching packages include real-time support via Voxer, a free walkie-talkie app you can use to text or voice message me between sessions. No appointment needed. Voxer also generates a transcript so you can reference the conversation later.

    Won’t that get annoying?
    Not at all, it's part of the deal. I'll reply when I'm able, same day at the latest. If a thought hits you at 4am, send it. I'll respond once I start my day. ☀️

  • A package is the best way to commit to this work consistently, and the between-session support is genuinely worth it. That said, if a package isn't the right fit right now, we can work out a schedule (weekly, biweekly, monthly) that works for your situation and your budget.

  • I hold an ACC credential from the International ADHD Coach Training Center, an ICF-accredited program. I also have a BA from Rutgers and an MIA from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, if that's useful context.

  • @nope @nothanks.

    I do have a blog, which you're welcome to read, and unlike most things on the internet, there's nothing to subscribe to or unsubscribe from. We both have ADHD; let's keep it simple.

The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

This infographic derived from David Rock's book Quiet Leadership shows where coaching fits into the continua of asking v. telling, witha a focus on problem v. solution.

A coach asks you the right questions to get to your solutions. I am here to help you be the best you you can be: the most magnificent go-getter, the most scholarly scholar, or maybe just a you that’s not overwhelmed. Whatever it is (and maybe you need a free consultation call to explore that a bit), we can talk about it and see what we can do together.
