Cognitive & Executive Function Coaching

We support clients and patients who have experienced the following:

  • ADHD or Autism diagnosis

  • Hormonal changes (including perimenopause/menopause)

  • Brain fog/cognitive fatigue

  • Excessive stress due to work obligations or recent personal events

  • Long-Covid

We provide coaching services to address the cognitive challenges that may result from these scenarios or diagnoses. Often, these struggles manifest in a combination of unique ways, such as greater difficulty with the following:

  • Task paralysis/procrastination

  • Time management

  • Emotional and behavioral impulsivity

  • Memory

  • Attention

  • Problem solving

  • Word-finding

These challenges often result in frustration and a reduced quality of life. As a brain health clinician and experienced executive function coach, I specialize in providing services that are holistic, functional, and effective, rooted in a strengths-based, supportive approach.
