ADHD and Executive Function coaching: supporting ADHD adults struggling with focus, follow through, and self-regulation.
We don’t do perfect. We do progress.

Coaching is a collaborative partnership. Together, we’ll uncover what’s been hard, understand why, and build systems that work for you.

1:1 virtual sessions tailored to your needs
Direct education on how ADHD impacts your daily life & functioning
Understanding how ADHD has shaped your view of self
Exploring your ADHD story; where you’ve been, where you are, & where you want to go
A focus on Executive Function and self regulation skills
Practicing Radical Honesty re: what works for the brain that you have
Space to talk it out and find solutions for your biggest problems
What To Expect
I offer a few coaching options, all starting with a free 25-minute discovery call. You can learn more about what fits your goals on the Work With Me page.
Any route you choose, you can expect:
1:1 support from someone you can be real with — even if you haven’t checked your bank account in weeks
To connect the dots between ADHD & your lived experience
Systems/accommodations designed to help you self-start and follow through
Comfort challenges & practice between sessions

Who It’s For?
ADHD Out Loud is for adults with ADHD or executive dysfunction who want compassionate guidance, practical insight, and lasting change.
Coaching is for you if you:
Can’t seem to get yourself started, even when you know what’s important
Feel stuck in a cycle of avoidance, crisis, guilt, repeat
Struggle to regulate emotions, impulses, and motivation
Feel unable to perform the way you want at work
Struggle to put in consistent effort if it’s not guaranteed a reward
Feel the urge to hide struggles/ failure/shame from the people around you
Are willing to apply strategies between calls — and be honest when it doesn’t happen
“…Changing your perspective on ADHD is not a single leap you need to make. It’s a process: you start by coming to know it, then you own it, and finally you’re able to work with it.” -Russell Barkley, Taking Charge of Adult ADHD
***Please note that Coaching is not therapy. Therapy focuses on diagnosing and treating mental illness. Coaching focuses on accomplishing present and future goals through a problem solving and solutions-focused lense. ADHD Out Loud focuses specifically on support for ADHD and Executive Dysfunction & is not substitute for mental health care of any kind.
Coaching with me feels like…
…sitting down with someone who gets it.
Not just because I’ve read the research (I have), but because I’ve lived the rollercoaster of “Why can’t I just DO the thing?” too.
I was diagnosed with ADHD after finishing 90% of my master’s degree in clinical counseling. (Believe me, I know). I’d just been exposed to the realities of ADHD through a few incredible clients at my intern site—and was shocked by how much deeper their struggles went than what I had been taught. I found myself breathlessly giving my required peer education on the topic: “Maybe to-do lists and planners aren’t really enough here? Have we talked about shame? Emotional dysregulation? Have you heard this term— Executive Function? Are you guys seeing this!?” The reality is, my lack of knowledge at that stage of my clinical education is not uncommon. Many professionals in the medical and mental health fields are very fuzzy on what adult ADHD really looks like. This has left a lot of us misinformed or missed entirely. “Why didn’t anyone tell me?” I’ve heard it a hundred times. I’ve said it myself.
Processing my own diagnosis was hard. I was untangling the fallout of my own impulsivity: poor spending, poor coping, constant avoidance, all-or-nothing thinking, little white lies. I lived from crisis to crisis, always reacting, saying and doing whatever I could to dodge whatever discomfort was in front of me. I watched other people judge my behavior as a personal and moral failure, and grew increasingly disillusioned with myself and the people around me.
So I dove deep. I spent hundreds of hours in research, reading, and studying from some of the best in the field. I pursued certification all while learning (and unlearning) so much directly from my ADHD clients. Now, I specialize in supporting individuals diagnosed in adulthood — or those realizing their childhood diagnosis might be more relevant than they thought. I help people unpack what they’ve been accommodating their whole lives.
As an ADHD-CCSP and a registered coach through ACO, with a Bachelors in Psychology, a Masters in Counseling; armed with my own history, and hundreds of hours of direct client exposure, I bring both training and lived experience to the table. I’m not here to just nod along. I’m here to help you finally work with your brain — and start trusting that you’ve actually got this.

Why ADHD Out Loud?
My core philosophy
ADHD: Out Loud is built on the belief that honestly naming your struggle is the first step toward changing it. That’s what diagnosis did — it gave you the language to start understanding your own experience. But you may not yet have the full picture of how ADHD is shaping your challenges, and that’s where I come in. Together, we’ll face the reality of ADHD as an impulse-driven self-regulation problem, so we can uncover why you feel stuck, pulled off course, and unable to follow through on your decisions.
ADHD can chip away at a person’s view of self and at their self-trust. I want you to feel empowered to make decisions, problem solve, plan ahead, and follow through without having to constantly explain yourself. Living Out Loud is rooted in radical honesty about who you are and how ADHD has shaped your story. It requires open discussion about impairments and belief systems. Living Out Loud means exercising self control- the freedom to choose for yourself- instead of feeling driven by shame and panic.
Out Loud It is also a nod to the reality of life with ADHD, which can be loud, chaotic, and out there; sometimes in really fun ways.

Do you accept insurance? No, ADHD coaching is not medical treatment —that means it doesn’t fall under the kind of care insurance companies will reimburse.
Do you have in-person options? No, my coaching process is entirely virtual. I prioritize our connection and do my best to make it personal, empathetic, and authentic. If that’s a concern, book a discovery call and let me know, I’d love to hear more.
Do you work with kids? I don’t — my work is focused on adults of all ages who feel like they want further insight and support. I’ve supported individuals from 18-70+ with ADHD.
If you are an adult supporting a child with ADHD & wanting more education for yourself, feel free to book a discovery call and we can discuss if my services fit your needs.
Do you provide diagnoses? No, I can’t diagnose ADHD. Coaching is not a medical service — it’s support after diagnosis (or while you’re seriously exploring it).
Can I sign up for coaching if I am not formally diagnosed? Yes, you can absolutely book a Discovery Call — and beyond. We’ll talk through your goals, identify current struggles, & discuss any barriers or concerns re: pursuing an ADHD assessment.
I do recommend my clients seek formal assessment when possible. In the long term, it vastly aids with the emotional and cognitive work of accepting the reality of both the impairments and necessary accommodations. Fully accepting the reality of a diagnosis is often much more challenging than people anticipate, even when the diagnosis itself is a relief.
Do I have to live in Michigan? No, as a coach who operates virtually, I can work with people from anywhere in the world!
If you have unanswered questions, book a free discovery call. I would love to hear from you!
