Get Stuff Done: Manage Executive Functions

Equipping Neurodiverse Professionals, Executives, and Entrepreneurs With Personalized Tools: Take Control of Your Time and Attention So You Can Consistently Get Stuff Done and Achieve Your Long-term Professional and Personal Goals

Who Am I?

I have been trying to figure out how to stay focused and attentive, how to decrease procrastination, how to manage “to do” lists, and generally how to get things done my entire adult life. In college, I remember forcing myself to go to the deepest, darkest, part of the library in order to remove all distractions so I could finally study for classes that I didn’t find motivating. I know firsthand what it’s like to be a disorganized mess and I’m excited about the current neurodiversity movement. Adults, both diagnosed and self-identified as having ADD, ADHD, and/or Autism, want to better understand themselves and learn how to manage their own lives.

I’ve found, through my 20 years teaching Special Education high school students, strategies that translate well to coaching adults who struggle with Executive Functions (and other areas of their lives). I’ve personally tried and incorporated these strategies into my own life, and am eager to get started working with you.

Each of my clients receives an individualized approach to managing their specific Executive Function needs in order to meet their professional and personal goals. I love learning about my clients’ passions and goals and working together to make things happen. I am grateful when a client gains clarity in better understanding themselves or achieves their goals because I have been able to contribute to their life in a positive way.
