Create your own life! As your coach, I strive to empower you to live your dream life because I believe in the principle that YOU have all the answers. Think about the areas of your life where you feel “stuck”. I will guide, support and encourage you as you explore possibilities for growth and change; I will be your champion as you take action to maximize your personal and professional potential.

As a graduate of the International Coach Academy, I have been trained to coach clients to develop a sense of self-awareness and identify unique strengths that can be used to achieve self-defined goals. The coaching partnership facilitates accountability and is a great way to move forward in a trusting, judgement-free environment. My work as a coach has earned me the designation of Professional Certified Coach (PCC) by the International Coach Federation.

I hold an ADHD Coaching certificate and have had the pleasure of working with students diagnosed with ADHD for almost ten years. I believe that at the very core of ADHD coaching is the recognition that students are bright, creative, and have a desire to do well. A diagnosis of ADHD means there is a neurological difference that affects students’ behavior and ability to stay on task — that there is a “disconnect” between ABILITY and PRODUCTIVITY. In my work with students we focus on motivation, overcoming procrastination and perfectionism, and building self-advocacy skills and self-esteem. Working together, the student and I build on strengths to create and put a plan in place to achieve personal and academic success.

Adults diagnosed with ADHD also struggle with the same challenges: a weakness in executive functions (EF). My coaching style is strengths-based and holistic. I honor the client as the expert in his or her life and work or school, and believe that every client is creative, resourceful, and whole. Together we can find ways for you (or your student) to be successful at home, at work or school, and with peers.    

Professional Associations: I am currently an active professional member of the International Coach Federation (ICF), ADHD Coaches Organization (ACO), Attentional Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA), and the ADHD Resource Group of Northern Virginia. I also actively support CHADD.
