Executive Function &
ADHD Coaching
For Kids, Teens & Their Families
Your child is capable.
So why does everyday life feel so hard?
They may know exactly what they’re supposed to do, but getting started, staying focused, managing big feelings, keeping track of everything, or following through can be a completely different story.
​​​
I work with capable kids and teens with ADHD and other neurodivergent profiles (diagnosis or not). Together, we build practical skills for real life, with parents included in the process so everyone is working toward the same goals.

You know your child can do this stuff, in theory.
But knowing what to do and making it happen are two very different things.
-
Getting out the door takes 17 reminders.
-
Homework becomes a nightly negotiation.
-
They can focus forever on what they love, but can't seem to start what they don't.
-
One mistake can turn into “I CAN'T DO THIS!”
-
Assignments, belongings, instructions and time disappear routinely.
-
You're constantly wondering: “Do I help? Remind them? Back off? Let them fail and deal with the backlash?”
These aren't character flaws. And your child doesn't need another person telling them they need to "try harder.”
Your child needs skills, strategies, and support that actually fit the way their brain works.
What We're Building Together
(Executive Function skills show up everywhere.)
Getting Started
Beginning something...even when it isn't particularly interesting.
Time Awareness
Understanding how long things take and learning to plan accordingly.
Focus & Attention
Noticing when attention wanders and learning how to bring it back.
Planning & Organizing
Figuring out what needs to happen, in what order, and what they'll need.
Flexibility & Emotional Regulation
Follow-Through
Handling frustration, mistakes, changes, and Plan B without everything falling apart.
Remembering, completing, checking - and relying less on a parent to make it all happen.
We don't work on everything at once.
Your child and I identify what's getting in their way right now, choose goals that actually matter to them, and build strategies around their real life - school, homework, routines, activities, friendships, responsibilities, whatever is showing up.
The goal isn't a perfectly organized kid.
​
It's a kid who understands themselves better, has tools they know how to use, and increasingly believes: “I can handle this.”
What does coaching actually look like?
We figure out what matters.
Your child has a voice in this process. We identify what's feeling hard, what they'd like to be different, and choose goals that feel meaningful — not just goals the adults around them have chosen.
We experiment with strategies.
We explore tools, systems, language, and approaches that fit this child and this challenge. What works, we keep. What doesn't, we learn from and adjust. Shame has no place here. It's all about discovery.
We take it into real life.
Each week, we choose a small, doable next step so your child can practice using what we're building where it actually matters...at school, at home, during homework, with activities, or in everyday routines.
Coaching that starts with your child — not a generic program.
There isn't one executive function system that works for every kid.
And they're not doing it alone.
Parents are part of the process, too.
One hour a week can build strong foundations.
But executive function happens all week long.
​​
That's why parent partnership is built into my coaching.
I meet and email with parents regularly to align on goals, share progress, celebrate what's working, and troubleshoot what's getting stuck.
​
We look at what your child is practicing with me and how you can support those same skills at home - without turning you into their planner, reminder system, homework monitor, or executive function coach.
​
The goal isn't for you to do more. It's for all of us to understand what we're working toward, use consistent language and strategies, and gradually help your child do more for themselves.
One child. One team. Shared goals.
We're not creating one system in coaching and another at home. We're building an approach your child can actually use in real life.

“We saw the symptom, but I was out of my depth with addressing the root cause. You’re already going there just a few sessions in. What you’re doing feels like you’re establishing the building blocks of being independent in one’s life and organizing one’s life. I’m finally beginning to feel hopeful for him.”
