My Philosophy

 

I believe neurodivergent people deserve support that doesn’t ask them to become someone else.

Too often, support is framed around “fixing” or “overcoming” challenges—when what’s really needed is space to understand yourself more deeply, compassionately, and on your own terms. My coaching isn’t about helping you fit into systems that weren’t built for you. It’s about helping you find ways to navigate those systems without losing yourself in the process.

I see coaching as a space for experimentation, reflection, and building trust with your own brain. That might mean learning to work with your executive function, unlearning internalized ableism, finding communication strategies that feel good, or just making more room in your life for rest and self-acceptance.

Coaching with me is nonjudgmental, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you’re not broken—you’re brilliant. And you don’t have to do it alone.

My core values are: Personal Responsibility, Community, Relationships, Fun, Kindness, Growth, and Integrity.

My Positionality & Commitment to Inclusion

 

I am a 34 year old white settler, cisgender woman. I am also queer and neurodivergent. I am married, childfree, and live in the suburbs of Ontario, Canada. My coaching practice is neuro-affirming and inclusive of all LGBTQQIP2SA+ folks and people of all gender identities. 

My coaching practice, facilitation, and consulting approach acknowledges, and is informed by the fact, that humans are impacted and shaped by the societies we live and grow in. Our socialization within these systems, this includes White Supremacy Culture, patriarchy, colonialism, ableism, racism, sexism, capitalism, heteronormativity, and more, shapes our identities, values, and beliefs. 

It is a priority and a key component of my ongoing learning and development to understand how these forces shape peoples' experiences. This equips me with tools to serve my clients more effectively by using my awareness of these systems to evoke awareness of these systems with those I work with. For example, is a client experiencing imposter's syndrome or racism, misogyny, or ableism? Are your thoughts and beliefs about what's possible for you rooted in internalized oppression (internalized ableism, misogyny, etc.) or people pleasing tendencies developed in other ways, or both?

In short, by being aware of and informed about these systems and how they impact our lives, I can better question assumptions and beliefs raised by my clients. I'll push, question, affirm, and acknowledge in ways someone without this perspective may not. I don't take for granted the role these systems play in our lives. 

The Low Achiever is coaching through a feminist, trauma informed, neuro-affirming, intersectional lens. This is an ongoing practice I am committed to, not something I have simply achieved or accomplished, it's a dedication to growth. 

The LinkedIn Bio 

I have enjoyed working in the non-profit sector for 10 years, specifically in client experience and engagement, group facilitation, DEI, and operations. I have my certificate in Adult Education and I am an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC).

I’ve coached hundreds of neurodivergent folks as they transition into new roles and workplaces and provided support to employees and managers navigating various workplace challenges. ​​​

I have extensive experience advising teams and organizations on how to make their workplaces more inclusive and accessible, specifically for neurodivergent and disabled professionals.

Mission, Vision, & Values

My mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-informed coaching that empowers neurodivergent people to understand themselves more deeply, build systems that work for their unique minds, and move through the world with more ease, agency, and self-trust.

I’m here to challenge the idea that support has to look like pushing harder, masking more, or fitting in. Instead, I create a space where neurodivergent folks can be fully themselves—where experimentation is welcome, messiness is expected, and growth happens through reflection, not judgment.

Empowering neurodivergent people to live, work, and relate on their own terms—through compassionate, evidence-informed coaching.

 

 🌟 

I envision a world where neurodivergent people are fully supported, deeply understood, and celebrated for who they are—not who they’re expected to be.

A world where self-trust is stronger than self-doubt, where systems adapt to people (not the other way around), and where difference is a source of connection—not disconnection.

Through coaching, I aim to be part of that shift—one relationship, one reflection, one experiment at a time.

A world where neurodivergent people are supported, understood, and free to live on their own terms.

Neurodivergent-Affirming Support

 

I honor differences, not deficiency. I reject pathologizing approaches and work from the belief that neurodivergent people deserve support that fits their unique ways of thinking, feeling, and being.

🤝

Collaboration Over Correction

 

Coaching with me is a partnership. I don’t position myself as the expert on you—you are. My role is to ask the right questions, offer frameworks and tools, and help you experiment safely.

Individualization

There’s no single “right” way to communicate, learn, or organize your life. I tailor support to your real needs—not to a neurotypical standard.

🔍

Curiosity and Reflection

 

We make space for gentle, nonjudgmental exploration. Growth happens when we can slow down, notice patterns, and understand ourselves with compassion.

📚

Evidence-Informed, Lived-Experience Grounded

 

My coaching is shaped by research in psychology, behavior science, and neurodiversity studies—as well as the lived experience of the neurodivergent community (including my own). I value both data and humanity.

About My Approach

 

I coach neurodivergent people to show up more fully and freely in every part of their lives.

 

Whether you're navigating burnout, craving more ease in your relationships, or trying to make work actually work for you, I’m here to help.

 

Together, we make sense of your patterns, needs, and values—so you can move through the world with more clarity, connection, and self-trust.

 

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in research from psychology, behavior science, and lived experience. I don’t believe in fixing people—I believe in supporting them with tools that actually fit.

 

Who I Work With

I work with folks who are:

 

  • Late-diagnosed ADHDers and Autists or self-discovering neurodivergent folks

  • Feeling overwhelmed or burned out

  • Looking for systems to support executive function challenges

  • Struggling to navigate work, relationships, or big life transitions

  • Tired of masking and ready to live more authentically

 

​You don’t need an ADHD or Autism diagnosis to work with me—just curiosity, compassion for yourself (even if it’s just a little), and a desire for something different.

ADHD Coaching is flexible and collaborative. Topics often include:

 

  • Building sustainable routines and support systems

  • Unpacking internalized ableism and perfectionism

  • Navigating communication differences in work and relationships
