Why is everything so hard?
This is a question that comes up in my office all the time. You look like an adult on the outside,
but internally, you wonder who thought it was a good idea to give you the keys. Brain fog.
Memory issues. Lack of motivation. Time blindness. An ever-growing to-do list that makes
you shut down just looking at it. To top it all off, someone forgot to give you the social
guidebook that everyone else seems to have.
Such is the life of the neurodivergent; feeling “off” in a world designed for someone else. The
term neurodivergent simply means having a brain that operates differently from the statistical
norm. It encompasses ADHD, autism, and intellectual disabilities, among other conditions, but
you don’t need a diagnosis to identify as neurodivergent. If the daily struggle of trying to be
responsible, calm, and normal feels all too familiar, then this might just be you.
What does Neurodivergent Coaching look like?
The goal of neurodivergent coaching is not to “fix” your brain. It’s not broken! Through our
work together, you will learn to radically accept (and perhaps, dare I say celebrate) the way your
brain functions. The trick is to stop fighting against it and learn to work with it.

A note on scope
While you may find coaching to be therapeutic, it is not a substitute for mental health therapy. I
do not assess, diagnose, or treat mental illness, and I will point you to someone who can help if
that's what you need.
