About Me
From a late-life ADHD diagnosis to becoming a Certified ADHD Coach, I help adults better understand their minds, embrace their strengths, and create meaningful change.
My ADHD Journey
As a recovery coach, I often accompanied clients to doctor appointments and noticed how often ADHD came up. I would hear the questions the doctor asked and think, “I do that.” I remember thinking, “That’s ADHD?” That was the start of my own journey to a late-in-life diagnosis and, ultimately, to becoming a Certified ADHD Coach.

My Story
In school, I always felt like everyone else was smarter than me. It seemed like things came easier to other people. Later, as a professional, I was able to hide some of my struggles because I had a secretary who took care of a lot of the details for me. What a relief it was to realize I wasn’t less capable — my brain was just wired differently. I am very extroverted, but I do not like being in loud places. I know now that is part of my sensory sensitivity. I have always had piles, lists, and more lists, along with the sense of failure that can come with that.
And I have always joked that I cannot watch spy movies at night because when I am exhausted, my brain cannot keep track of the plot lines, accents, and characters.
My style is safe, compassionate, and relaxed, with a bit of humor.
I am a Certified ADHD Coach (AACC) and an ICF member, and I have been coaching clients since 2018.
