Student coaching can include topics related to:

We work with students who access the Ontario Bursary for Students with Disabilities (BSWD) providing statements for sessions attended, as needed.

We welcome working with students anywhere in the world, as long as we can make the timing work.

I coach adults on any area of life that feels like it’s not working as well as you’d like it to - through a lens of ADHD awareness:

• Workplace/Career

• Self Employment or Entrepreneurship

• Budgeting/Financial Management

• Work/Life Balance

• Later-in-Life ADHD Diagnosis - grief, learning, skill-building

Neurodiverse adults have a range of challenges with finding and keeping work that suits and accommodates their specific ways or working. Having lost a job or considering a career transition can be very overwhelming. The feelings associated with the loss or gap can be so strong that it is hard to start thinking about next options and steps to take to apply for jobs or consider what’s the right next move.

Neurodiverse-aware career coaching can help define the concerns and conditions you may need to define for a next workplace. Some folks want to explore if self-employment may be a good option, but are worried about the challenges of our executive function when working on our own.

Together we can define the challenges and dreams, and create some actions, strategies, goals, plus executive function and emotional regulation resources to have on hand as needed.

Wherever you find yourself right now:

• First Jobs

• College or University

• Choosing Next Steps after High School

• Resetting your relationship to studying

• Multiple Interests - can’t choose a path

  ADHD Coaching can help you with: managing your energy and focus, designing routines, study habits, skills and hacks, communicating your needs or accommodations, following through on looking for work or study opportunities, and figuring out what’s next for you.

Ages 14 - 18 - Highschool

ADHD in Highschool can really kick your butt - but there are many things that can be done to help you get through the work without loosing your mind. I know anxiety and depression can go hand in hand with unmanaged ADHD - and that’s not the life I hope for you.

Coaching is not giving advice or telling you what to do. I am a caring listener, I ask questions, I notice what’s important to you, and help you make plans, practice new habits, improve relationships, even helping talk through challenges with friendships, relationships.

It can be hard to talk to parents or teachers at this age, when the same frustrations keep coming up, and it seems like things can’t get better. But they can, and they will. Knowing how your ADHD Brain works is the first step. Working with it, not against it, is the next step.

The ultimate step is when you really know how your brain works and you can set up your life in a way that you feel pretty good, most of the time, and you’re living a life that feels good and gets things done.

Your kid has ADHD, you may or may not have ADHD, your co-parent may or may not have ADHD, other siblings may or may not have ADHD. This parenting thing is no joke. It’s tough. Add ADHD into the mix and the challenge just ramped up exponentially. I am a trained ADHD Coach, a single Mother with ADHD, with a co-parent with ADHD, with 2 kids with ADHD. I’ve been there and around the block a few times.

I’m here to support you talking to your kid (s), getting home life sorted out (chores, cleaning, paperwork, getting along) and supporting your kid(s) education (talking to teachers, IEPs, assessments, talking to medical providers. Add to all this being in charge of everyone’s wellbeing (eating, sleeping, hygiene, mental health).

If one person has ADHD in a family - there are already challenges that take some navigating and learning. But that’s not likely - there’s probably one parent or more, more than one kid. Home life is likely loving and a little chaotic.

I’m interested to teach about ADHD and coach families on how to best live and work together to thrive as a family and individually. Let’s make your home life a haven for every member, understanding how each one operates. Understanding what’s happening in an ADHD brain can make all the difference between an issue becoming a fight or an opportunity to brainstorm a better solution.

We can do a series of individual coaching sessions with several whole family meetings. I can custom design some learning sessions and/or facilitate family meetings to set up some structures and routines to support the whole family.

I’ll listen to your needs and propose some options.
