Welcome to Coaching
"I became a life skills coach with the specific intent to help young adults 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 13-25 who are in high school or college. I will work them to ensure they are completing their academic requirements while creating a balance between academics, social, family and self care.
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 6 years. Just recently, I decided to focus solely on people pursuing some sort of academic goal, whether graduating high school, starting college or going back to college.
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 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.
I am passionately committed to helping my clients reach their academic and life skills 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.
