Coaching Focus Areas

ADHD Coaching for Adults

This is the core of my work. I help adults—many of them high-performing but overwhelmed—manage the unique challenges of ADHD. We build systems, habits, and strategies tailored to your brain and your goals, so you can move from chaos to clarity in both your professional and personal life.

Executive ADHD Coaching

If you're a business owner or leader navigating ADHD in high-stakes environments, my Executive ADHD Coaching offers a powerful blend of strategic insight and neurodiverse tools to help you lead with focus, make confident decisions, and manage pressure with more ease.

Mindfulness Training

Mindfulness is a foundational skill I integrate into all coaching—but I also offer a focused 10-week Mindfulness Training program for those ready to deepen self-awareness, emotional regulation, and stress resilience. The goal isn’t to empty your mind—it’s to train it to respond with clarity, not reactivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ADHD coaching for adults?

ADHD coaching is a forward-focused process that helps adults manage challenges like distraction, procrastination, and emotional overwhelm. We develop personalized strategies to build structure, increase focus, and improve daily functioning—both at work and at home.

What happens in an ADHD coaching session?

Each session includes a tactical component (focused on productivity and daily challenges) and a strategic component using my Mindful Intelligence method, which helps you build clarity, emotional resilience, and long-term habits. You leave with a clear plan, not just insight.

How is coaching different from therapy?

Unlike therapy, which often looks to the past, coaching focuses on action and progress. We work together to develop systems and mindset shifts that help you move forward—especially in areas like time management, work-life balance, and emotional regulation.

how is mindfulness used in ADHD coaching?

Mindful Intelligence is the strategic half of each session. It’s about training your internal awareness system to notice your thoughts, behaviors, and emotional reactions—without judgment. Using mindfulness-based techniques, we build the ability to pause, reflect, and respond with intention rather than reactivity. This shift often leads to better decision-making, reduced stress, and greater personal alignment

Do you offer executive ADHD coaching?

Yes. My executive coaching is designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, and business leaders who want to examine their leadership and business challenges through both an ADHD lens and the perspective of my 25+ years of experience running and scaling businesses. We work on strategic thinking, focus, decision-making, and emotional regulation—all while tackling real-world leadership demands. It’s a unique blend of practical business insight and ADHD-specific coaching that helps high-performers create structure, clarity, and sustainable success.

Do you only work with clients in Toronto?
