Hi there! I’m an ADHD coach based in Chicago, and working with clients globally. I provide coaching for adults (18+) with ADHD and other attention and focus challenges. As an architect with over a decade of experience, I can relate to folks who work in passion professions, or have creativity at the very center of their personal or professional lives. I would love to help you find balance, energy, and a renewed creative spark through coaching.

Is ADHD a superpower or a disability? My answer: it’s neither. Your ADHD shows up as a set of traits that’s unique to you, including incredible creative strengths and well, um, possibly some challenges too. In a world that’s set up to work against our unique brain wiring, many of us with ADHD end up building a life that focuses on overcoming our weaknesses. This is so draining and depleting for us that we end up with no energy left to develop our strengths - that is, if we can even remember what they are.
My approach to coaching is to begin by embracing where you are right now, including working with you to uncover strengths that may have been neglected or underused for years. Finding and embracing your strengths is essential not only because they can help you build a positive core identity, but also because using our strengths gives our brain the fuel (ie. dopamine and norepinephrine) to tackle life’s important challenges. Learning to work with your ADHD instead of fighting against it will not only help you re-connect with your authentic self, but will also give you back more energy to build a life you love.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
- Carl R. RogersI genuinely enjoy getting to know people and tend to approach others with friendliness, interest, and non-judgemental curiosity. Whether you’re coming to coaching for help achieving a goal or because you’re facing a challenge, I would love to meet you where you are and work with you to build a foundation of self-acceptance and self-compassion from which meaningful change can begin to take place. If you are interested in working with me, I would love to hear from you - please click Book Now or email me at adhd.embraced@gmail.com to schedule a free, no obligation 30 minute discovery session so we can get to know each other.
