Frequently Asked Questions
-
Unlike traditional therapy, which often focuses on processing past experiences, ADHD coaching is highly practical and forward-looking. We collaborate virtually to target your specific executive function struggles. Together, we design customized, real-world systems for time management, organization, and task initiation that align with how your brain operates.
-
No, you do not need a formal medical diagnosis. Many adults, particularly women and older adults up to age 73, were overlooked in childhood and face long waitlists for formal testing. If you struggle with chronic overwhelm, procrastination, focus, or burnout, you are welcome here. We focus entirely on your current challenges and goals.
-
Many ADHD coaches focus exclusively on children, college students, or young corporate professionals. My practice is intentionally designed to support adults across generations. Whether you are a 20-something navigating your first office job, a mid-career professional facing burnout, or a retiree looking to organize your days, I understand the unique challenges of your specific life stage.
Action-Oriented, Practical Partnering: I do not just offer generic advice or tell you to "try harder." We work as collaborative partners to build external structures for your life. We look at the actual mechanics of executive dysfunction—like task initiation and time blindness—and build customized workarounds that fit your lifestyle.
Zero Diagnosis Barriers: I do not require a formal medical diagnosis to help you. I recognize that diagnostic testing can be incredibly expensive, difficult to access, and historically biased against adults and women. If you struggle with the classic symptoms of ADHD, you are fully welcome in my practice exactly as you are.
True Coast-to-Coast Flexibility: Because my practice is 100% virtual, you get the benefit of a premium bicoastal approach. Whether you lean into the fast-paced productivity culture of New York or the creative, wellness-focused mindset of California, my nationwide scope allows me to bring diverse, versatile strategies to our sessions.
-
Working with me is collaborative, highly practical, and completely free of judgment. There are no lectures, rigid checklists, or one-size-fits-all rules. Instead, we treat your life and your routine as a creative puzzle to solve together.
Here is exactly what you can expect from our partnership:
A Judgment-Free Zone: Adults with ADHD often carry years of shame about "lost potential" or unfinished tasks. In our sessions, there is no shame. Missing a deadline or having a messy desk is just useful data—not a moral failure.
Small, Manageable Steps: Overwhelm is the biggest enemy of focus. We break your massive career or life goals down into micro-steps so your brain actually feels safe enough to start.
Custom-Built Systems: We experiment until we find what sticks. If digital planners don't work for you, we try physical visual cues. If morning routines fail, we optimize your afternoons. We design workarounds tailored entirely to your unique energy patterns.
Real-Time Accountability: You don't just talk for an hour and get left alone. We build gentle, supportive check-in structures to help you stay connected to your goals between our virtual video sessions.
