Executive Function Coaching for the Neurodivergent
Executive Function Coaching for the Neurodivergent
Ever feel like you're working twice as hard just to keep up? Like you're constantly disappointing people despite your best efforts? The Sunday night dread is real. The calendar notifications are relentless.
I get it. I've worked with countless professionals who thought they were "just bad at organizing" or "naturally scattered" until we uncovered their unique processing style and built systems that actually work for their brain.
My clients don't just survive at work – they find sustainable success that doesn't come at the cost of their wellbeing.
As a trained Mind, Brain, Teaching specialist with specialized training in burnout prevention and resiliency building, I support adults and professionals who experience executive function challenges in their careers and educational pursuits. My approach recognizes that neurodivergent thinking brings unique strengths to professional environments when properly supported.
Who I Work With:
Working professionals navigating career transitions, job searches, or workplace challenges
Graduate students balancing rigorous academic demands with career development
Entrepreneurs and business leaders seeking to optimize their workflow and leadership style
Adults with ADHD, autism or executive function differences looking to develop personalized systems for success
Early and mid-career professionals working to advance in competitive environments
Professionals seeking career transitions who benefit from my strengths-based approach to identifying suitable career paths, interview preparation, and communication skills development to showcase their unique talents and capabilities
Your teenager is brilliant – when interested. Creative beyond belief. But somehow homework disappears into a black hole, long-term projects materialize the night before, and the backpack... well, let's not even go there.
The constant battles are exhausting. The potential is obvious. The gap is frustrating.
I've spent over two decades helping teens harness their unique thinking styles while developing the executive function skills they need to navigate school and life. We'll find approaches that stick because they work with your child's natural strengths, not against them.
I don't do cookie-cutter solutions or one-size-fits-all approaches. Every brain is different.
We'll start by uncovering how you or your teen actually processes information, transitions between tasks, and manages time naturally. Then we'll build practical, sustainable strategies from there.
My coaching philosophy recognizes that executive function challenges are not personal failings, but differences in how your brain processes information and directs attention. I draw on my extensive background in interpersonal neurobiology and compassion cultivation to create a strengths-based approach that:
Honors your unique cognitive style while developing practical strategies for success
Builds on your natural strengths rather than trying to "fix" perceived deficits
Creates personalized systems that work with your specific thinking patterns
Integrates the latest neuroscience research on executive function development
Prevents burnout by establishing sustainable practices aligned with your values
My unique integration of executive function coaching with mindfulness and compassion practices offers significant benefits:
Reduced stress reactivity that often triggers executive function challenges in high-pressure situations
Enhanced cognitive flexibility through mindfulness practices that strengthen attention networks
Self-compassion techniques that counter perfectionism and procrastination
Interpersonal effectiveness drawing on neurobiology principles to improve professional relationships
Sustainable motivation that aligns with your values and intrinsic rewards
Burnout prevention through practices that honor your neurological needs and strengths
My coaching methodology:
Interpersonal Neurobiology Framework: I completed the Mindsight Immersion Weekend with Dr. Dan Siegel, focusing on Awareness and Mind, providing me with a profound understanding of how neural integration supports cognitive function and emotional regulation. This approach recognizes that relationship-focused strategies can strengthen executive function and foster resilience.
Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT): As a certified teacher through the Compassion Institute and Stanford's CCARE program, I integrate evidence-based compassion practices that reduce self-criticism and promote sustainable motivation for professionals facing executive function challenges.
Mindful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: My training in Mindful CBT enables me to help clients identify and transform limiting thought patterns that often accompany executive function challenges, particularly in high-pressure professional environments.
Mind, Brain, Teaching Certification: My graduate certification from Johns Hopkins University provides me with research-based techniques to translate neuroscience findings into practical strategies for adult learners.
