Coaching for Children and Teens

With a working knowledge of how ADHD may be impacting the child, I am able to explore ways to maximize strengths, talents, and passion.  I firmly believe that no one program or set of strategies will work for every child, so I help my client to enlist personalized strategies and behaviors that are congruent with the child’s learning, processing, and organizational styles.  The coaching that I do with children is practical, positive, empowering, and solutions-oriented. 

Coaching for Families

 I work with the families of ADHD children of all ages to educate them about this developmental disorder so that they can understand and support their ADHD child. Since the issues of someone with ADHD can be complex and often involve more than one person, I work with parents, children, teens, young adults, and adults to educate, improve understanding, and support the challenges they face individually and as a family.  Coaching children and parents together typically takes place in the clients’ home, but parent coaching can often be done over the telephone.

Coaching for Adults

I partner with my adult coaching clients to help them achieve their goals, develop new skills, and manage their emotional state,  all while learning about how their ADHD affects them.  First, my adult clients will gain a thorough understanding of their challenges.  Then, we will develop together a personalized strategy that incorporates this new understanding while we set goals based on a client's strengths.  We then will use real life challenges to safely experiment with these strategies.  Finally, we will review results and make necessary adjustments.  Adult coaching most often occurs over the telephone
