A brain with ADD is often challenged by executive functioning.

While individuals with ADD possess many remarkable strengths—often ones they don’t even recognize—they tend to navigate the world in unique and creative ways. However, they may struggle with finding a sense of urgency for the everyday, mundane tasks that require initiation and follow-through. Tasks that spark genuine interest are typically much easier to begin and sustain.

When certain tasks remain undone—or even untouched—it can sometimes lead to feelings of shame, anxiety, depression, and overwhelm.

My coaching is action-oriented—I help you develop the skills to focus on the doing so you can get things done. Real change happens gradually, in small, consistent steps. With guided support in the doing, you can strengthen your executive functioning skills and replace old habits that stand in the way of your success.

Challenges with executive function and motivation can stem from a variety of factors, including:

• ADD/ADHD

• Anxiety

• Depression

• OCD

• Slow processing speed

• Working memory difficulties

• Asperger’s Syndrome

• Autism Spectrum

Metacognition—or “thinking about your thinking”—is essential to strengthening executive function skills. It begins with building self-awareness.

In my work, creating systems and routines that foster executive functioning skills is a top priority.

Consistency is key—these skills must be practiced repeatedly. With time, effort, and persistence, meaningful and lasting change becomes possible.

Executive functioning skills can be simply described as the ability to:

• Manage time and attention

• Set clear goals

• Plan and prioritize effectively

• Stay organized

• Shift focus when needed

• Adapt and refocus after setbacks

• Pay attention to details

• Create and follow timelines

• Complete tasks

• Manage stress and anxiety

• Work well with others

• Maintain a clutter-free environment

• Control and regulate behavior

Through personalized coaching, these skills can be strengthened by making gradual changes to systems and routines. Over time, these new habits are reinforced through positive experiences and consistent feedback, leading to lasting improvement.

I work with a wide range of clients, including:

• High school students

• College and graduate students

• Adults—both in their personal and professional lives

Together, we create a personalized support plan tailored to your unique needs, with ongoing availability whenever you need guidance.
