Executive Function Coaching
Struggling with organization, planning, time management or getting started? Executive function coaching helps students develop practical strategies to manage their workload, stay on track and become more independent.
Helping Students Understand How They Learn Best
Build the Skills to Succeed in School and Beyond
I support youth and young adults (typically grade 8 and beyond) with ADHD, learning differences, or executive function challenges — practical coaching that helps students succeed in school and beyond.
How I Can Help
Experienced. Individualized. Student-Centred.
02
ADHD & Neurodivergent Learners
Students with ADHD and other learning differences often know what they need to do but struggle with how to make it happen. Coaching provides individualized strategies that build on strengths while supporting areas of challenge.
03
Academic Skills & Study Strategies
From managing assignments and studying for tests to breaking down long-term projects, students learn concrete strategies to approach schoolwork more effectively and with greater confidence.
04
Motivation & Follow-Through
Procrastination, avoidance and feeling overwhelmed can make it difficult to get started and follow through. Coaching helps students understand what gets in their way and develop strategies that make tasks feel more manageable.
05
Self-Advocacy & Independence
The ultimate goal is independence. Students learn to understand how they learn best, communicate what they need, problem-solve when things go wrong and take greater ownership of their success.
06
The Work Beneath the Work
Coaching isn't therapy or tutoring. It's about helping students understand the patterns behind their struggles, recognize what may be getting in their way, and develop strategies to move forward. Through reflection and guided problem-solving, I help students build the self-awareness and confidence to make meaningful, lasting change.

Teens & Young Adults
I believe coaching should help students become more independent, not more dependent on adults.
The gap I noticed
Throughout my career in education, I became increasingly interested in the skills students are expected to use every day but are rarely explicitly taught: how to organize themselves, manage their time, get started, plan ahead, regulate emotions, advocate for themselves, and follow through when things feel difficult.
Who I work with
I work with teens and young adults with ADHD and other learning differences, as well as students who may not have a diagnosis but struggle with executive functioning, anxiety, motivation, or feeling overwhelmed by school. Coaching helps them understand how they learn best and build practical strategies for their individual brains.
Training & background
My approach combines my background as an educator with specialized training in executive function coaching. I hold an M.S.Ed., am an Ontario Certified Teacher with Special Education qualifications, and am a graduate of JST Coaching & Training’s executive function coaching program.
