ADHD & Executive Functioning Coaching

Using a laptop on a desk while struggling with executive functionConsistently inconsistent.

Some days you’re curious about everything. You see patterns other people miss, make connections nobody asked for, and find workarounds that shouldn’t work but do.

Other days you can’t start the simplest thing on your list, and the effort it takes to get through the day is invisible to everyone around you.

You know what you want to do. Following through is the part that keeps falling apart.

What executive functioning actually means.

Executive functioning is the set of skills your brain uses to get things done: organizing, managing time, controlling impulses, focusing, planning, following through, regulating yourself, and solving problems.

When those skills are inconsistent, it shows up everywhere. Work takes longer than it should. Deadlines sneak up. You’re seen as scattered by people who have no idea how hard you’re working. At home, the same thing happens with the people you care most about showing up for.

You need more than a planner.

There’s no shortage of advice about apps, calendars, and routines. Most of it assumes the strategy is the whole answer.

Before a strategy can work, two other things have to be in place. Your state, meaning your energy, your nervous system, and the sensory environment you’re in. And your story, meaning the language running in your head while you’re trying to plan, start, and follow through.

There’s also the part nobody mentions. A neurodivergent brain wants novelty, and systems get boring. Most of my clients can stay with one somewhere between three weeks and three months. So we figure out your cycle and plan the switch before it falls apart, and we name the specific signs that tell you it’s coming.

 

How we work together.

This is client-driven, which means we work on what matters to you rather than a curriculum I hand you.

We start with what’s actually happening when things get stuck, then build supports that fit how your brain works. Planning, organizing, thinking flexibly, and staying regulated when everything feels like too much.

My background is in cognitive-communication rehabilitation, so I pay close attention to language and self-talk. The way you talk to yourself while you’re planning and starting something is part of the machinery, not a side issue.

 

Who I work with.

Professionals, parents, and entrepreneurs. Adults with ADHD, adults with autism, people navigating perimenopause and menopause brain fog, people recovering from a concussion or long-haul Covid, and people with no diagnosis at all.

Most of my clients are capable people who look like they have it together and are exhausted from the effort it takes to keep that up.

 

Not sure if this is the right fit?

Book a free consultation and tell me what’s going on. We’ll talk about what you’ve already tried and what keeps breaking down, and if I’m not the right person to help, I’ll say so.
