As a coach, I help neurodivergent professionals, entrepreneurs, executives and senior leaders navigate challenges, work toward goals, build self-awareness, and co-create strategies for living and working better with ADHD. I have a passion for people and their whole, complex lives. As a person with ADHD myself, my greatest joy is providing space and supportive thought partnership for fellow neurodivergent folks, especially those diagnosed in adulthood. While I specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, my coaching practice welcomes and support folks of all identities. I coach with versatility, creativity, warmth, enthusiasm, humor, authenticity and curiosity.

Before coaching full time, I worked in director roles in leadership development, program management, design education, and organizational strategy. Having earned degrees in design, psychology, and a master's in counseling psychotherapy, and more than a decade in helping professions, including design education and clinical mental health counseling, my approach is informed by psychology, design thinking, neuroscience and cognition as they pertain to life and work.

I work with entrepreneurs, new and emerging leaders, managers, directors, and C-suite leaders for support to grow and develop professionally and personally. Many of my clients reach out with goals for making changes in their career journeys and/or professional identities. Others seek coaching as a way to enhance their own leadership and performance to better succeed on their current professional path. My clients are mostly mid-career professionals, from a range of professions, including mental health, education (K-12 and higher ed), veterinary and human medicine, research, attorneys, communication and marketing, graphic designers, UX/UI designers, architects, industrial designers, engineers, clergy, visual and performing arts, and non-profit leaders. In addition, I have experience and special expertise working with:

• New/emerging leaders as well as experienced leaders facing new challenges

• Entrepreneurs

• Mid-career professionals looking to make changes in their career journeys and/or professional identities. 

• College students planning and preparing for the transition into a career (including undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students).

My career path has been rich and diverse. Having worked collaboratively in partnerships across many industries, I bring versatility, creativity, empathetic thought partnership, and a collaborative spirit to my work as a coach.
