Executive function coaching for adults — build the systems your brain actually needs
​​​If you've already tried the books, the apps, and find yourself wondering if you need to just 'try harder", coaching is probably the next move. I'm a clinically trained therapist with an ADHD certification, and I have ADHD myself — so this isn't theoretical for me. It's the part of the work that's less about why and more about what now, built around how your brain actually works instead of how it's supposed to.
That's what coaching is for.
Coaching is not therapy.​
Quick clarity, because this gets confusing: coaching and therapy are two different things. Coaching is forward-focused and skills-based. Were working on what you want to build, not needing to process. There's no diagnosing, treatment planning or clinical documentation.And if at some point it turns out you'd actually be better served by therapy — for ADHD or for whatever's underneath — I'll let you know. The benefit of working with a licensed therapist who also coaches is that I can tell when you've moved out of coaching territory.
Coaching may be a good fit if;

Your brain works differently, but you don't want or need a diagnosis.
​
You have an ADHD diagnosis and just wants skills support without ongoing therapy
You're a high-functioning adult who looks fine on paper but is held together by string and caffeine.
​
You want practical, action-focused support — not weekly emotional processing
You've done the therapy work and now you need someone to help you actually implement, or need supplemental support while in therapy.
What we actually work on

​
Together we'll build practical strategies for the things that actually trip you up:
​
-
Task initiation — getting started without 45 minutes of doom-scrolling first
-
Time management and time blindness — knowing what to do when, and not losing whole afternoons
-
Planning and follow-through — turning ideas into actual completed work
-
Organization and systems — the ones that actually work for your brain, not the ones that look pretty on Instagram
-
Working memory and decision-making — closing the loop on the 47 open tabs in your head
-
Accountability and momentum — the structure that makes change actually stick
​
What makes coaching with me different.
Why work with me instead of a coach who isn't licensed?
I'm a licensed therapist (LCPC), ADHD certified clinical services provider (ADHD-CCSP_ and certified substance use counselor (CADC) who chose to also offer coaching. That means when EF struggles are tangled up with anxiety, RSD, masking fatigue, or substance use — I see it. I won't push productivity strategies that ignore what your nervous system is actually doing, and I won't send you somewhere else when something deeper comes up. We can shift the conversation if needed, or I can refer you for therapy if that's the right call.
Why work with me instead of going through insurance for ADHD therapy?
Because coaching is a different product. No diagnosis required. No clinical documentation tied to your medical record. No insurance constraints on session length or frequency. Pure focus on what you want to build, at the pace you want to build it. If you want clinical work, I do that too — separately — through therapy. But if what you actually need is action-focused skill building, coaching is the right tool.
How it works;
-Sessions are 50 minutes, and frequency will be decided together at our first meeting.
-Virtual or in-person in the Lincolnwood/Chicago area
-All coaching is self-pay — coaching is not covered by insurance
-We start with a free 15-minute consultation to make sure it's a good fit
Pricing
Session: $200
4-session monthly package: $700 (saves $100)
​
Most clients work in monthly packages because consistency is what makes coaching actually work — but you can start with a single session if you want to try it out first.
Ready to stop white-knuckling your way through your week? Let's talk. The free consult is 15 minutes, no pressure — just a conversation about what you're trying to build and whether we're a good fit.
