ADHD coaching is an ongoing, collaborative partnership between someone navigating an ADHD brain and a coach trained in ADHD specifics, working through that lens with a deep understanding of how ADHD can affect someone's life and which frameworks, tools, and approaches might be helpful.   It is not about fixing anyone. It is a co-creative process that empowers the client to understand their brain wiring so they can make choices, take action, and design a life and processes that fit. Together we explore how ADHD impacts their life, rediscover what is already working, identify strengths that might be underutilized, and find what aligns with how they naturally process, focus, and thrive.   I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where we can get curious, name what is working and what is not, and design practices that support their goals and their quality of life.   When working with children and teens, the foundation stays the same — the partnership, the ADHD lens, the strengths-based approach — but the work is shaped to fit where they are. With younger clients, sessions are playful and concrete, focused on building self-awareness and practical skills they can actually use at school and at home. For parents, my role is different but equally collaborative. I support parents in understanding what ADHD actually is, shifting from fixing to empowering, and becoming the environment in which their child can finally thrive. Because the parent who truly gets it, is the most powerful asset a child with ADHD has.

Life coaching is a collaborative, thought-provoking partnership focused on helping you move from where you are now to where you want to be. The work is forward-looking and goal-oriented — building clarity, exploring what truly matters to you, and designing strategies that align with how you naturally operate, so you can maximize your personal and professional potential. The client is always the expert on their own life. The coach listens deeply, asks powerful questions, and walks alongside you as a thought partner. Life coaching is particularly valuable when you are navigating a transition, facing a major decision, or sensing that something needs to shift but cannot quite name what.

Coaching vs Therapy: Therapy focuses on healing emotional pain, processing the past, and supporting mental health, often involving diagnosis and clinical treatment. It is the right space for trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse issues. Coaching is not therapy and not a substitute for therapy. It is forward-focused and goal-oriented; working with where the client is now and where they want to go. Many of my clients work with both because each serves a different and important purpose. Coaching vs Consulting: Consultants are hired for their expertise, they identify problems and provide solutions on behalf of the client. In coaching, the client is the expert on their own life. The coach supports the client in uncovering their own insights, clarifying their own goals, and identifying their own best strategies for change. The focus is on collaboration, curiosity, and growth from within. ADHD coaching adds one important element to that foundation — psychoeducation. While the work remains client-led, there are moments when I offer tools, resources, or ADHD-informed insights to help bridge awareness gaps. These are always shared with consent, respecting the client's autonomy. The goal is not to fix, but to empower clients with the language, context, and strategies that help them move forward on their own terms.

My approach is collaborative, client-focused, with a strengths-based perspective. This means we start from what is already working, what is already there, even when the client cannot yet see it themselves, as strengths often remain unrecognized and buried under years of being told the wrong story about who they are. I do not arrive with an agenda or a fixed framework. I meet each client where they are, get curious about how they actually operate, and together we co-create practical, actionable strategies that fit their real life and circumstances, so challenges feel more manageable and their goals more attainable. When ADHD is part of the picture, the ADHD lens is at the heart of everything I do — a deep understanding of ADHD traits, behaviors, patterns, and the neuroscience behind them. Whether or not ADHD is part of your story, my purpose is the same: for you to feel deeply seen, heard, and understood, with my full undivided attention, so you can show up exactly as you are, unapologetically, without shame, without judgment. For many of my clients that experience alone, of being truly seen and accepted for the first time, is already the beginning of something shifting.

I offer two types of coaching — ADHD coaching and life coaching — and the people I work with come to me for one or sometimes both. ADHD coaching clients: Kids, teens, and adults from age eight through adulthood — formally diagnosed or not — who are navigating life with an ADHD brain. I deliberately chose not to focus on a single age group, as ADHD is a lifelong condition that shows up differently and uniquely in every person, at every life stage and across every circumstance — even though the root cause remains the same. My clients are either actively struggling with symptoms or have spent their lives wondering why everything feels harder for them than it seems to for everyone else, often being told they are lazy, unreliable, or difficult. I also work with parents who want to better understand and support their child with ADHD. Life coaching clients: Adults navigating significant life transitions — a career change, an international relocation, a major personal shift, a new chapter that requires letting go of an old one. They are people who feel ready for change but unclear on what that change should look like, or how to begin.

Coaching typically starts with a free discovery call, where we get acquainted and have an honest conversation about where you are, what you are looking for, whether coaching feels like the right next step, and whether we are personally a good fit. If there is common ground, we start the engagement with a longer onboarding session to look at where you are right now, the challenges you face, the background and circumstances that shape your story, and what you want to achieve through coaching. From there, sessions are typically 30–60 minutes and held virtually — globally in English and German — with occasional in-person sessions in the Houston area. I generally recommend meeting weekly at the beginning, but the cadence is yours to define. Coaching requires energy and commitment, and the rhythm should be one you can genuinely sustain and integrate into your current life context. Each session is shaped by what is relevant for you in that moment, while keeping your overarching goals in sight. We explore patterns, build self-awareness, and co-create strategies you can experiment with between sessions. This is your process — flexible, responsive to what your life actually needs, and creating the momentum that is currently possible. Some clients work with me short-term to navigate a specific goal, while others continue long-term to support ongoing growth and life integration.

People come to coaching for many different reasons. Most often: They are recently diagnosed and unsure what to do with that information They suspect ADHD plays a role in their life, their child's, or their spouse's life and they want to understand it better They are looking for systems and strategies that work for their brain — with commitment and accountability They are a parent watching their ADHD child struggle and want to support them differently after trying everything else They feel stuck and overwhelmed, knowing something has to change but unsure what or how or struggling to make a decision They want a non-judgmental space to think clearly without being told what to do They are navigating a significant life transition — a new role, a new country, a new chapter They are running on empty on their energy, their mood, or their relationships Coaching works best when you are open to partnership, curious about how you operate, and ready to try new perspectives. You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need a sense that something needs to shift and a willingness to show up and explore. Coaching creates space to recalibrate and take aligned action with someone walking beside you.

Progress looks different for everyone. You will not see dramatic transformation after one or two sessions. What you will see, over time, is a gradual but meaningful shift in how you understand yourself and navigate your life. Most clients begin to notice subtle shifts within the first three to four sessions — often in self-awareness, in the way they speak to themselves, or in small wins they had previously believed were impossible. Deeper, more sustainable change typically takes a few months, though it varies significantly depending on the client's needs, current circumstances, and openness to the work. Together we co-create ways of tracking what matters to you. That might mean noticing progress toward a specific goal, shifts in how you handle setbacks, or feeling more grounded and present in your daily life. Sometimes success shows up as a specific win. More often, it is a quieter, deeper sense of alignment. Those small wins build momentum. And momentum is what creates lasting change.

My coaching fees reflect the years of training, lived experience, and genuine care I bring to every meeting, along with the time I dedicate to supporting clients between sessions. Discovery Session: Free Intake Session (60–90 min): $150- $225 Regular Session (60 min): $150 (rates prorated in 15-minute increments) Health insurance does not currently cover coaching. As a coach, I am not a licensed clinical practitioner, hence coaching is not classified as medical treatment. Some Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts accept coaching expenses, particularly when accompanied by a recommendation letter from a physician or therapist — worthwhile checking. Some companies also offer professional development budgets that can be applied to coaching engagements. If cost is a concern, please share it openly. A direct conversation about what is realistic for you is far more useful than carrying the worry alone. Coaching is an investment in yourself and your growth. The decision should feel right, comfortable, and intentional — free from financial or other pressures.
