Adult ADHD and Executive Function Coaching
Whether you were diagnosed as a child, or more recently (many adults, particularly women, are being diagnosed in their 40’s, 50’s, and beyond!), ADHD and Executive Function coaching can help you to understand the differences in how your wonderful brain works, and the supports that will enable you to successfully reach your goals!
Whether you suffer from time blindness, you face challenges with getting started, or you find yourself going down the rabbit hole when you should be working, or all three (!), we can work together to address your issues. I will partner with you to find solutions that are as unique as you are. Additionally, I will provide you with a summary after each session, detailing the action plan we developed. I also can be tapped for accountability – getting a text from a real person is far more effective than hearing it from Siri! Schedule a free 30 minute Discovery Session, and let’s get your rocket to the stars started!
ADHD Friendly Money Management Coaching
Do you find yourself buying things on impulse…and then buying more to help with the shame and guilt you feel? Do you avoid answering the phone, because it might be your credit card company? Have you tried and tried to create a budget, only to abandon it in a week or two?
Research shows that ADHDers have more issues with money management that neurotypicals. This is due to difficulties with time management, organization, impulsivity…and wanting the dopamine boost that finding that great deal might give you. ADHDers often have no savings, huge credit card balances, and low credit scores – and feel incredible anxiety about their situations.
But…help is here!! As an ADHD Life Coach, as well as an experienced Wall Street financial analyst with a Masters Degree in Business/Finance, I’ve been using my skills and knowledge to help clients with their financial chaos and instability. Let me help you to organize your finances, create a budget that you can stick to, and most importantly, gain an understanding of what has been getting in your way. Until now!
IEP/Section 504 Assistance
The process of determining if your ADHD student is eligible for services, modifications, and/or accommodations, can feel like being stuck in a maze with unreachable exits! I’d be happy to help you navigate the process of obtaining an IEP or Section 504 plan, including suggesting items that should be included, and ways in which to work with teachers to ensure that the plans are being adhered to. As a former classroom teacher, I am aware of the ins and outs of this process, as well as the detours that can take place. Let me be your guide to successfully getting the help your child is entitled to!
Pre-Teen/Teen/College ADHD & Executive Function Coaching
As a teacher with experience teaching middle school students, I have seen first hand how ADHD impacts kids in the classroom. Issues with organization, time management, interrupting, difficulty with peers, all can ultimately have a negative impact on your child’s self esteem that can stay with them for life.
As a coach for middle school through college students, I will work with your teen/college student to develop strategies and routines that will enable them to feel in control of their life in and out of the classroom, and find success! More importantly, they will become aware of their special strengths and talents, and how to utilize them to tackle any challenges that come their way.
Your young adult and I will partner together so they can:
- Build routines
- Manage time and deadlines effectively
- Identify triggers of emotionally charged responses, and find ways to mitigate them
- Grow self aware in terms of skills that need support, and strengths to utilize
