Frequently Asked questions
How do you approach ADHD Coaching?
I believe it is important to help clients understand what ADHD really is, how it specifically impacts their executive functioning, and then to take steps to help them become more effective in their lives.
What is Executive Functioning?
Executive function refers to a set of cognitive processes that help us plan, organize, prioritize, and manage tasks in order to achieve goals. People with ADHD often have brilliant ideas but get distracted and fall short of meeting their goals. This is a big part of ADHD Coaching.
Who do you work with?
I coach college students and professionals who want to improve focus, follow through, and confidence.

You can book online through my website or contact me directly using the info at the bottom of the page.
Do you offer in-person coaching?
Yes. If you’re in the Eugene, Oregon area, we can meet at my office at 1143 Oak Street, Suite 206.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes, I coach clients online via Zoom. I work with clients from across the country and throughout the world.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No, Coaching is focused on present and future goals.
Can ADHD Coaching help with procrastination?
Absolutely. Coaching gives you tools to manage tasks, build momentum, and develop strategies that stick.
What are your coaching qualifications?
I am entering my fourth year as a professional ADHD Coach and have helped hundreds of clients along the way. My background as an elementary school principal allows me to provide positive and corrective feedback in ways clients are able to hear and make use of. I have a master degree as a Learning and Behavior Specialist from the University of Illinois at Chicago, 2004, and have participated in hundreds of hours of coaching workshops, trainings, and seminars.
Do you work with teenagers?
To benefit from coaching, clients must be interested in learning about their executive functioning abilities and willing to apply tools and strategies in their own lives. I typically meet teens for 45 minutes and debrief with family members for ten minutes afterwards.
Do you work with romatic partners and/or help with mediation?
Including partners in the coaching process creates lasting, powerful insights for both parties. I also have a background in mediation and believe working through conflict is the best way to deepen a relationship.
