Trauma Informed Coaching

I work with autistic and ADHD adults who are done with non-inclusive advice, programs, theories, and models. You've tried the planners, the morning routines, the apps, the motivational frameworks, all the advice about how to "do" socializing or fit into a group. Some of it helped for awhile, but (if you're like me), most of it assumed a brain and nervous system that works differently than yours does.

Perhaps you ended up feeling shame or like you're broken and don't fit in anywhere.

I coach through the lens of neurodivergence, because my brain is wired differently and I have had those kinds of lived experiences many of us share.

I am also provisionally certified in The Community Resilience Model (CRM)®, which is a body-based, skills-focused approach to nervous system regulation. I had adapted approaches from CRM and polyvagal theory specifically to be inclusive for neurodivergent brains (such as those with limited interoception and/or alexithymia) and drop aspects of PVT not supported by science. You can read more about my credentials and background here.

We work as partners with what your body and mind is actually doing, and you leave with something you can use that same day.

You might be a good fit for this if some of this sounds familiar.

You figured out you're autistic or ADHD in adulthood, or otherwise wired differently, and you're still sorting out what that means for how you live and work and "fit" socially or professionally. You've spent years accommodating everyone else's needs and you're running out of capacity to keep doing that. Perhaps burnout has become your baseline mode, or maybe you're stuck in a kind of low-grade perpetual disconnect where you can see what needs to happen but your body or mind just won't cooperate.

Maybe you've done therapy and found it useful for understanding your history, or collecting ideas, but you want something a bit more forward-facing. Something focused on what you're building now, with tools that actually account for the way your nervous system responds to stress, transitions, and sensory load. Maybe you're looking for a different way to be seen and heard.

You don't need a formal diagnosis to work with me. Self-identification is valid and I don't require paperwork or any kind of disclosure. Only share what you're comfortable sharing. You also don't need to identify as neurodivergent, I can certainly work with you if you're wired typical, too.

If you're currently in crisis or need clinical mental health support, coaching isn't the right fit right now. There are options available, and there might be a good fit found on this page.

The coaching agreement covers what you can expect from sessions, confidentiality, cancellation, and the boundaries of what coaching is and isn't. You'll accept it as part of the booking process.
