Ever wondered about Neurodivergent Coaching?

Has anyone ever said to you:
“You are so difficult.”
“Stop thinking too much.”
“You’re too perfectionistic.”
“You overthink everything.”
“You are moving too fast, you are too ambitious.”
“You’re too critical of yourself and others.”
“Why do you have to question everything?”
“Why can’t you just be satisfied with what you have?”
“Why can’t you just let it go?”
“You worry about everything.”
“You take everything too seriously.”
“You need to learn to tone it down.”
“You’re always so dramatic.”
“Why can’t you just go with the flow?”
“You expect too much from yourself and others.”
“You’re too much.”
Then you're probably a high-achieving, high performing, neurodivergent person thriving in some areas and inexplicably struggling in others.
ADHD/Autism coaching is a collaborative relationship designed to help you work with your brain, not against it.
It’s not about “fixing” anything, it’s about building tools, structures, and mindsets that actually respect how your brain works so you can live in alignment with your values.
A lot of folks with ADHD and/or Autism aren’t disconnected from what they care about, they just get blocked, overwhelmed, stuck, or burnt out trying to navigate a world not built for them. Coaching creates space to untangle those blocks and experiment with new approaches that make life feel more doable (and ideally more joyful, too).
There’s no single way ADHD coaching is “supposed” to look. The approach I use is flexible, trauma-informed, and pluralistic—meaning we adapt our work together based on what actually supports you. Together, we explore your goals, your capacity, your patterns, and what gets in the way—and then we build strategies that are customized, realistic, and rooted in your values.
How ADHD Coaching Helps
Depending on your needs and preferences, ADHD coaching can support you in areas like:
⌚ Time management and prioritizing when everything feels urgent
🧨 Task initiation (a.k.a. starting the damn thing)
🧘 Reducing overwhelm and avoiding burnout
📑 Building routines and systems that work with your energy, not against it
♻️ Following through on projects and habits without shame
🛑 Setting boundaries and saying no
🫂 Understanding how ADHD shows up in your relationships, work, creativity, and daily life
🌟 Letting go of internalized judgment and redefining what success means to you
💭 Having a reliable, trusted thought partner to work with you while you navigate complex ideas and solve interesting problems
We don't just talk about what’s not working, we get curious, try stuff, adapt, and build a toolkit together. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, but there is a way forward that feels more aligned with your real life.
