Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to work with you?

Not at all! Anyone who experiences executive functioning difficulties could benefit from ADHD coaching. You do not need to suspect you have ADHD or that you are neurodivergent. Everyone is welcome!

What is executive function?

Executive function refers to the cognitive skills and processes that help us organize thoughts and activities, prioritize tasks, manage time efficiently, and make decisions. Someone who struggles with executive function may find themselves misplacing things often, having trouble prioritizing, starting, and following through on tasks, and feeling overwhelmed by large projects and to-do lists.

Can you provide an ADHD diagnosis?

No I cannot. If you're seeking a diagnosis, I suggest reaching out to your GP, a psychiatrist, or other qualified medical professional.

Has ADHD coaching been shown to help people? How can I learn more about it?

Yes, ADHD coaching has been shown to help people! Multiple research studies have found consistent positive results. Here's a direct quote from an article on CHADD's website:

Subjects "who received individual coaching were found to develop better executive functioning skills and self-determination skills. Those receiving coaching engage in more positive thoughts and behaviors, such as taking greater responsibility for their actions, using goal-attainment skills, modulating emotions, managing stress effectively and increasing positive expectations for performance."

How long before I see results?

While we will begin working towards your goals immediately, coaching is not an instantaneous solution. It takes time and commitment from coach and client. Typically it can take at least 4 sessions to start to see progress. I recommend coaching for 3-6 months to see significant progress in a variety of areas.

How do you stay up-to-date on the latest ADHD research, resources, and tools?

It is of the utmost importance to me that I know as much as possible about ADHD and continue to actively build on that knowledge. I do this by reading scientific literature, reading reputable books, listening to podcasts by leaders in the field, taking courses by ADHD experts, attending multiple ADHD conferences per year, and more.

Do you have a coaching certification?

I am currently pursuing multiple coaching certifications. I have taken foundational coaching courses from a well-respected, accredited coaching program (MentorCoach) and I am currently enrolled in advanced coaching courses. Once complete, I will be a certified professional coach through MentorCoach, the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (PAAC).

Do you provide virtual sessions?

Yes! In fact, all of my sessions are virtual. You will receive a unique meeting link on your client portal for every scheduled session with me. Keep in mind that I am on Pacific Time, USA. The scheduling system can be adjusted to your time zone.

Do you take insurance?

No I do not. Unfortunately, ADHD coaching is not covered by insurance. If you have concerns, talk to me about sliding scale options!
