ADHD & Neurodiversity Coaching
Traditional coaching, as defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), emphasizes client autonomy, self-discovery, and avoiding direct advice. ADHD or Neurodiversity coaching often includes elements of education, strategy-sharing, and even some directive support, given the unique challenges ADHD/Neurodivergence presents. My aim is to integrate these elements in a way that still aligns with coaching principles, ensuring you remain the expert in your own life.
​
Empowering ADHD coaching is about guiding, not dictating. When done collaboratively, sharing strategies and insights can enhance your autonomy rather than diminish it. ADHD coaching isn’t just about teaching—it’s about helping you integrate knowledge in a way that strengthens your self-trust and agency.

Group & Team Coaching
Custom, structured coaching program for groups of 6 or fewer
​​​
Group Coaching brings together people with a shared goal, e.g. building confidence as a new manager, cultivating coaching skills at work, improving interpersonal communication, etc.
As a group, a structure is established and agreed upon along with group norms. Coaching sessions are action oriented and begin with goal setting. Time is taken to share and learn from one another, celebrate successes, and take note of insights. Collaboration, interactive exercises, and reflection are the main components of a group coaching engagement.
