Coaching That Meets You Where You Are

I have spent over 36 years helping people make life-changing decisions, and more than 9 years working specifically as an ADHD coach and ADD coach. My background is unlike anyone else's, and I think that is exactly why my clients feel safe with me. When you understand that I am not here to judge you, you can relax and finally show me the parts of yourself that others have labeled as problems. Together, I learn that many of those behaviors were your own creative way of trying to meet real, essential needs.

My work centers on ADHD coaching and ADD coaching, but it reaches into every corner of a person's life. I work with students of all ages, including young people entering adulthood between 18 and 30, parents, and creative adults who need help bringing projects to fruition while still functioning well in daily life. Through professional and career coaching, I help people define their goals, understand the obstacles in their path, and build the conditions that enable them to succeed.

Entrepreneurs and founders come to me for business coaching when they are juggling too much and need clarity. Writers reach out for writers coaching when a project stalls or feels impossible to finish. Others seek creativity coaching to protect and channel the ideas that make them who they are, and many simply want life coaching to move from where they are to where they truly want to be. Non-traditional thinkers face a unique set of challenges, and I help you build on your strengths while I patiently address the areas that need attention.

I am located in Southern California, and I can be wherever you need me to be, working primarily via video (Zoom and FaceTime) and by phone. That means I can work together whether you are down the street in Santa Monica or on the other side of the world. Over time, I discover your goals and dreams together, and I support you through every step of reaching them. If any of this sounds like the kind of partnership you have been looking for, I would love to hear from you.
