About Me

I recently published my first book, "Ready ~ Set ~~ Go!~~~ in which I shared how using these three simple words will ignite your motivation, develop a positive mindset, build self-confidence and resilience.  I received my Life Coaching certification through the Life Coach Institute of Orange County a top rated approved International Coaching Federation (ICF)  and globally accredited institute.   My membership to CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit /Hyperactivity Disorder) affords me access to resources, trainings, research based information on ADHD and current trends which broadened my “action tools” to benefit my clients wellbeing.

PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and a Master’s Degree in Special Education with certifications in Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Learning Disabilities, Behavior Management. and Autism. To facilitate my effectiveness as an ADHD Coach I attained a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist Practitioner certification which extended my ability to collaborate more effectively and guide parents to develop positive interactions and skillful communications with their child in applying tools that elicit desirable behavior. With enhanced developmental skills I am able to help clients deal with painful emotions of guilt and shame that impact their behaviors, beliefs and thoughts.  

COACHING NICHE 

My interest in ADHD and Executive Function coaching, evolved over the years while interacting with students, adults and parents in the capacity as a teacher, administrator and adjunct professor. Through caring, listening and strategic planning these catalyst help bring about change to individual lives.  Many of them could tell me what they needed to do, but the realities they faced was not knowing the "How and When To Do It."  This inability made everyday tasks a challenge.

EXPERTISE  

Relevant knowledge acquired over the  years in this field  has given me the ability  to successfully coach individuals with Executive Function Deficits and ADHD symptoms that reveal:  ▪Poor Time Management   ▪Disorganization  ▪Difficulty Making Decisions   ▪Forgetfulness  ▪Poor Working Memory  ▪Difficulty Planning and Prioritizing   ▪Chronic Lateness  ▪Inability to Focus  ▪Trouble Multitasking ▪ Procrastinating   ▪Negative Thinking   ▪Task Completion  ▪Controlling Impulses  

FOCUS   

I strive to help clients acquire new skills that present them the “KNOW HOW” to navigate through personal obstacles.  By discovering a client’s Processing and Learning Modalities, this knowledge becomes important in developing a system that accomplishes their personal goals and successfully establishes lasting habits and behaviors. Utilizing ACTION TOOLS provides clients the foundation to experience those “AHA MOMENTS when they realize the barriers they are living with are “treatable.”
