Welcome to Coaching
"I became a life skills coach with the specific intent to help people that are having difficulty with some or all executive functions, so they can lead a more successful and satisfying life. I specialize in coaching young adults from age 13-21 and parents that have children with ADHD, though I have coached a variety of ages and genders, so will also accept adult clients. I especially enjoy coaching teachers as I spent 3 years in the public school system and over 6 teaching college courses so I understand their struggles.
After spending over 10 years working with my daughter who has ADHD and developing strategies to help her succeed, I knew that I needed to share my passion and skills. I completed my ACSTH coach training in March of 2017 and then became ACC certified that summer. Since then, I have hundreds of hours of coaching experience with both youth and adults over the past 5 years.
Because I reside in North Carolina, but coach virtually via Zoom, I can coach anyone living in the Eastern Time Zone. I will consider other time zones if availability allows. I will also consider in person coaching in the Wilmington area of NC on a case by case basis.
I have a masters degree from Johns Hopkins University and received a teaching certificate from Old Dominion University. I am a member of CHADD, and the ADHD Coaches Organization ACO.
Whether the focus is on academics, work or any other aspect of life, I am passionately committed to helping my clients reach their goals."

What is Coaching?
Coaching is a method in which the coach guides the client into identifying strategies that work best to fulfill identified goals. The coaching process empowers a person to try new ways of doing things that might not have been considered previously.
The coach utilizes a thought-provoking and creative process to inspire the client. A partnership between the coach and client develops to maximize the client's potential.
Coaching is completely goal-focused. Long and short term realistic goals are identified and actions to reach these goals are created. Sessions then focus on the actions and next steps to reach those goals. Coaching IS NOT therapy and is not covered by insurance plans.
Would you or your child benefit from a coach?
These are just some of the executive functions we can work on together.
