What is executive functioning?
Executive functions are the brain's "management system." They're the mental skills that help you get things done-like starting tasks, staying focused, managing time, organizing materials, handling emotions, and following through on goals.
When executive functions are working smoothly, you can plan ahead, shift gears when things change, and keep moving forward even when challenges pop up. With ADHD, these skills may develop more slowly or feel inconsistent, but with support, they can absolutely be strengthened.
Is a diagnosis of ADHD required to work with you?
No. Many people struggle with executive functioning skills even without an ADHD diagnosis. Coaching can be helpful for anyone wanting to build better habits, reduce overwhelm, and move toward their goals.
What are the logistics of coaching?
Coaching sessions are held over video call, which helps clients stay timely and consistent. Sessions are 30 minutes or 60 minutes, and we'll determine together the best length and frequency of meetings before we begin the coaching relationship.
Because meaningful change takes time, I ask for a minimum three-month commitment. After that, we'll decide together when to continue, pause, or wrap up.
The financial investment for coaching will be discussed during our free consultation, once we've determined that coaching is a good fit. I want you to feel clear and confident before making any commitment.
How do I know if coaching is right for me?
We will have an introductory call to determine what you're hoping to get out of a coaching relationship, and I will answer any questions you have. After that, we'll determine together if it's a good fit. If you are a parent seeking coaching for your child, then after we speak, I will set up a second call to speak directly with them.
Can I use 529 Plan funds to pay for coaching services with you?
Possibly, yes. New 529 rules (effective July 5, 2025) expand qualified K-12 expenses to include educational therapies for students with disabilities such as ADHD.
My services may qualify because I'm a permanently certified teacher and a former educator, and I hold an ICF coaching credential. I support students with ADHD and executive functioning challenges through non-instructional, skills-based coaching.
Families should confirm with their 529 plan administrator and tax advisor before using funds.
