ADHD, Autism & AuDHD Coaching for Adults
You've read the books, bought the planner, and tried the app. You hold it together at work and fall apart in your own kitchen, or the reverse, and nobody has ever given you a good explanation. Nothing's wrong with your character. You've been running your life on a system someone built for a brain you don't have.
What does an ADHD or Autism coach do?
An ADHD or Autism coach helps neurodivergent adults build the systems that executive function makes hard, like planning, managing time, following through, and handling transitions. Good coaching also accounts for sensory load, masking, and burnout. It focuses on what you do day to day, and it works alongside medication and therapy without replacing either one.
Who this coaching is for
• Adults with ADHD, Autism, or both, whether you have a diagnosis or strongly suspect it
• People who were diagnosed recently and are asking "okay, now what?"
• People whose systems mostly hold but who keep hitting the same wall in one area, like money, home, or work
• Autistic and AuDHD adults running on empty after years of masking
• Entrepreneurs and self-employed people with good ideas and operations that are drowning them. Coaching works on how you run things, and if you'd rather hand the systems or the project to someone, that's my Business & Project Management work.
How coaching works
It starts with a free 30-minute call. You tell me what's going on, and we look at how I can help.
In the first few sessions, we map your situation: your values and strengths, what drains you, how your days go compared with how you think they should go, and the constraints you can't change. For a lot of Autistic and AuDHD clients, that includes sensory needs and how much a change in routine costs you. Most people skip this step, and it's why their systems keep breaking.
Then we build, one system at a time, starting where your week keeps falling apart. Some weaknesses we work around, some we hand off, and some you get permission to stop attempting, because they were never going to work in the form you were trying.
Between sessions, you try it in your real life. It'll need revision, and we plan for that. By the end, you understand your wiring well enough to adjust your own systems when life changes.
Sessions are 60 minutes by video, weekly or every other week.
Is coaching the right fit?
Coaching isn't the right starting point for everyone.
If you need a diagnosis, start with an assessment. ScienceWorks Behavioral Healthcare does them by telehealth, and I'm happy to point you there.
If you're in a mental health crisis, call or text 988 and get a therapist involved before you hire a coach.
And if what you want is someone checking in every day to keep you on track, that's accountability, and it stops working the week the check-ins stop. I build the thing that keeps running after we're done.
Investment
Individual coaching starts at $150 per session, with package options for ongoing work. We'll figure out which one fits on your free call.

Questions people ask about coaching
Is ADHD or Autism coaching the same as therapy?
No. Therapy works on healing and mental health. Coaching builds the systems and skills you use to run your day. Plenty of my clients do both.
Do I need a diagnosis to work with a coach?
No. If you suspect ADHD, Autism, or both, we can work on the patterns you're living with now. If you want a formal diagnosis, I'll point you to ScienceWorks.
Does insurance cover coaching?
Insurance doesn't cover coaching. Some clients use HSA or FSA funds, so check with your plan.
What if I disappear for two weeks?
You probably will at some point, and we plan for it. When you come back, we pick up where the system broke.
What if I'm in burnout right now?
Then we start smaller. When you're in Autistic or ADHD burnout, the first job is cutting demands, and we build systems once you have some capacity back.
