About My Work
I’m a Chicago-based coach working virtually with adults across the United States and Canada who are navigating ADHD, other brain-based conditions, and executive function challenges.
Many of my clients are capable, responsible people whose struggles are largely invisible to the people around them. They’ve developed ways of getting things done, but those approaches are effortful, inconsistent, or no longer working the way they once did.
Patterns like procrastination, difficulty starting tasks, inconsistent follow-through, mental overload, and difficulty managing emotions can erode confidence over time. Coaching creates a dedicated space for examining those patterns honestly and beginning to shift them.
My Background
In 2021, I left a long corporate career and started my own business. I built a successful organizing practice, working directly with clients in their homes and virtually. That work offered a close and practical view of how executive function challenges actually show up in daily life; not in theory, but in the kitchen, the closet, the pile that’s been on the table for three months.
My organizing clients were intelligent, hard-working people. Their struggles had nothing to do with laziness and everything to do with how their brains processed demands, priorities, and transitions. The same patterns appeared again and again, particularly for people navigating ADHD, other neurodiversity, and major life transitions.
That sustained, close-up experience eventually led me to coaching. Today my practice focuses on helping adults understand what’s getting in the way and develop strategies that fit how they actually think and live.
My Training & Approach
I’m trained through the Coach Approach Training Institute (CATI), an International Coaching Federation (ICF)-accredited program grounded in core coaching competencies. My training includes foundational coaching skills, strengths-based coaching, brain-based coaching, and Life & ADHD coaching. I will complete Level 1 training in April 2026 and am continuing onto Level 2, with a focus on neurodiversity.
I hold the Certified Professional Organizer® (CPO®) designation, which requires significant documented hours, a comprehensive certification exam, and adherence to a professional code of ethics. I continue to work with organizing clients, and that experience shapes the way I coach.
I’m an active member of the ADHD Coaches Organization (ACO), the National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals (NAPO), and the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD). These professional communities keep me connected to current research and best practices in ADHD and executive function support.
I’m in the early stages of my coaching practice, building toward my ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential, which I anticipate applying for in 2027, and a Certified Neurodiversity Coach (CNC) credential, which I will complete through additional training in 2026 and early 2027.
What I bring right now is serious ADHD-informed and neuro-affirming training, a grounded and collaborative methodology, and years of direct experience with the patterns that bring most people to coaching in the first place. I take this work seriously, and that will be evident from our first conversation.
Working Together
Coaching is a collaborative process.
You bring the questions, patterns, and challenges that feel most important in your life. Together we look closely at what’s happening and begin experimenting with practical changes that can shift how things unfold day to day.
If you’re curious about whether coaching might be useful for you, the next step is an introductory call. This brief conversation gives us a chance to talk about what you’re navigating and determine whether working together makes sense.

One of my passions is writing. My blog features articles about ADHD, neurodiversity, life transitions, coaching and more.
