Society places unrealistic expectations on women to be the time-keepers, planners, organizers, and happy-makers of the world. The demands of family, career, volunteer, and social obligations can put even more strain on women in a daily battle with the symptoms of ADHD or executive function challenges. The to-do list seems insurmountable when you face every day trying to do it better, yet never thinking that you did it well enough.
If this resonates with you, then you have probably felt the crush of shame, guilt, overwhelm, anxiety, frustration, and inadequacy that accompany each time you fall short of the mark you believe you should hit.
I work with women who want to develop new skills and strategies to excel in their careers and personal lives. I enable you to master life management strategies, overcome feelings of shame, guilt, and inadequacy, and develop executive brain function skills so you can be your best self and thrive at home, at work, and in your relationships.
I have a bachelor of science in education, a master of science in psychology, post-master’s studies in life-span human development, and ADHD specific training from ADDCA. Additionally, I’ve earned master-level certification in professional coaching and earned the Professional Certified Coach credential from ICF. My professional background includes primary and secondary education, higher education, healthcare, and entrepreneurial pursuits.
I’m excited and ready to join you on your journey to a more satisfying and fulfilling life.
