Who I work with

I work 1:1 with neurodivergent women and adults who are navigating life with new or emerging insights about their neurodivergence.

​

You don’t need a formal diagnosis to work with me. What matters is that you're curious about your brain and ready to invest in feeling clearer, calmer and more you.

 

You might be feeling:

  • Overwhelmed or exhausted from trying to fit into a world and systems not designed for you.

  • Curious about your neurodivergence and identity.

  • Chronically in survival mode, stress and burnout.

  • Ready to reclaim your unique ways of thinking, creating, and living.

​

If any of this resonates, you’re in the right place.

A place to unmask, be curious, and feel supported 

My Journey

Why I Became a Coach

I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late thirties, after decades of high achievement, chronic stress, and repeated burnout. On the outside, it looked like I was doing well. Inside, I was constantly pushing myself to fit into environments that drained me, burning out again and again without understanding why.

​

Receiving an ADHD diagnosis reframed my life. It showed me that the struggle wasn’t a lack of effort—it was a lack of understanding. The clarity didn’t bring instant relief, but it sparked a deep process of self-discovery, unlearning, and learning to meet myself with compassion and curiosity.

​

Experiencing ADHD coaching myself was transformative. It gave me tools and insights that years of therapy hadn’t, and showed me the power of support from someone who truly understands. It inspired me to leave my corporate career and follow a path aligned with my values: empowering late-diagnosed neurodivergent adults to move out of survival mode, break cycles of stress, and build lives that reflect their strengths and purpose.

​

Since then, I’ve immersed myself in learning about neurodivergence and how to create lives that support neurodivergent brains. I’m a certified ADHD coach and Mental Health First Aider, and I’m committed to continued learning and training. Before coaching, I spent over 15 years in global tech and corporate environments, training, mentoring, and problem-solving across cultures and time zones. Earlier in my career, I also worked in mental health settings.

​

Together, my lived experience and professional background allow me to meet each client with compassion, respect, and a genuine belief in their capacity to thrive—not just survive.

How we will work

 

Show up as you are. There’s no pressure, no performing, no “fixing” required. We move at your pace, exploring your thoughts, patterns, and strengths, and taking small steps toward unmasking and meaningful progress.

​

We work with your ADHD, not against it. That means we slow things down, get curious, and build support that actually fits your life — not systems that ask you to push harder or be someone you’re not.

​

Together, we might:

  • Explore your neurodivergence and reframe experiences

  • Notice your strengths and values, and celebrate wins

  • Experiment with routines, boundaries, and habits that work for you

  • Break tasks into manageable steps and discover strategies to get started

  • Strengthen executive functioning skills like focus, memory, and impulse regulation

  • Explore ways to reduce overwhelm, sensory overload, decision fatigue, or procrastination

  • Talk through options to bring clarity and confidence​

Beyond coaching 

 

I love trying out new hobbies, spending time in nature, and finding joy in life’s little adventures. I enjoy walking, tree-climbing, exploring, reading, writing, and discovering crafts and creative ways to express myself. ​​

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to “try harder”. You just need a safe space to begin to untangle your thoughts and be seen.
