Learn
Learn the skills you need to get unstuck, end procrastination, have great relationships, find your path, & find joy.

Practice
Practice is daily mindfulness, and developing skills & habits. Design the life you want for your unique needs, creativity, and goals.
Consistent distraction blocks creativity, focus, and spirit.
San Diego ADHDr’s … Let’s Talk.
Coaching is my passion and I’m here to Serve you
Adult ADHD
San Diego Adult ADHDr’s, Your habits are entrenched. The mindset is formed. Feelings of overwhelm, indecision, relationship conflict, procrastination, & daily struggle are common. We will work together to find your strengths, balance your mind, bring ease and calm into your days. Your life will improve. You will find agency and control. You’ll always have ADHD, but the way you move through challenges will be dramatically better.
Teen ADHD
San Diego teens with ADHD have a lot of challenges & unique skills. Teenage ADHD can contribute to increased conflict, depression, anxiety, trouble with friends & more.
Mindfulness is the best non-pharmaceutical intervention. Mindfulness actually compliments medication very well. Mentoring and coaching are incredibly helpful for kids with attention challenges.
Kids & ADHD
Dear San Diego Caregivers and Parents,
Raising kids with ADHD is hard. Did you know there are strategies you can learn and implement that will help relieve family stress, and will also teach your kids extremely valuable life skills? As a public school teacher, I spent many a late night coaching and helping parents learn how to help their ADHD children do better, feel better, and thrive.

Common symptoms of ADHD across the ages
Common Effects of the Struggle:

You’ve been told: “You’re lazy!”, “You need to apply yourself”, “Just be on time”, “Why are you like this? etc
Self-confidence: not great in challenging areas

Why work with me?
I strive to offer the kind of coaching, help, and mentorship that I needed & wanted.
I’m super passionate about coaching. It brings me great joy to help others! I will give you 100% of my energy and effort every time. Because I love what I do, I am always learning, growing and bringing more to the table for my clients.
It took a decade of trial and error, a master’s degree, a ton of self study, and a lot of practice and failure. I still have ADHD, and my symptoms are a fraction of what they used to be.
You don’t have to go through all that to radically improve your life.
