Neurodivergent and neurotypical students alike

Specializations

Students with ADHD, Autism, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), Anxiety, and learning differences such as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Language Processing Disorders.

Students with executive functioning challenges

Students who may struggle with the "hidden curriculum" of school—things like initiating tasks, managing complex deadlines, and organizing physical or digital spaces. These learners often have the academic ability to succeed, but find the logistics of being a student overwhelming.

Students who are capable and bright, but often are misunderstood in traditional school settings

Students who are highly capable but may be labeled as "unmotivated" or "not living up to their potential." In reality, these learners often just need a different set of tools and a more personalized approach to engage with their schoolwork successfully.

Students who don’t yet see their own potential or fully believe in themselves

Students who have faced academic setbacks and may feel defined by their struggles rather than their strengths. These learners often experience academic anxiety and need a safe, supportive space to rebuild their relationship with learning and rediscover what they are truly capable of.

Who Is a Good Fit for This Work?

My coaching is a wonderful fit for students who are bright, capable, and often harder on themselves than anyone else is. Many of the students I work with are neurodivergent or experience executive function challenges, anxiety, or learning differences. They don’t need to be “fixed” — they need tools, understanding, and someone who sees their strengths clearly.

This work is also a great fit for families who understand that meaningful growth takes time. There are no quick fixes or magic systems — just steady progress built through patience, encouragement, and consistency.

What are EF Skills?

Executive Function skills are cognitive abilities that help students maintain focus, regulate their emotions, plan ahead, manage their time, get organized, prioritize tasks, stay focused and achieve their personal and academic goals in life. These skills are not often taught in the classroom, but are just as vital to success as academic instruction. 

Do I Work With Adults on Executive Functioning Skills?

While I work with young adults through college graduation (typically up to ages 22-23), I do not work with adults.

Is This Homework Help?

We may use current assignments to practice skills, but my work is not about simply getting homework done each week.

Instead, we focus on building:

- Planning and organization systems
- Time awareness and follow-through
- Self-advocacy
- Emotional regulation around school
- Confidence and self-trust

The goal is long-term independence — not short-term task completion.

How long are coaching sessions and how often should we meet?

Most clients typically meet with me 1-2 times per week for 55-minute sessions. 

However, you can adjust the length and frequency of our sessions based on your needs, goals and progress. For example, some students benefit from one full-length, 55 minute session + one 15-minute check in later in the week to stay on track. Other students may need longer sessions to study for large-scale exams like the SAT, AP exams and college-level final exams.

How long does it usually take to see progress?

Executive function skills take time to develop. Because we are building habits, self-awareness, and systems that last beyond a single assignment or school year, meaningful change typically happens gradually.

Many students begin noticing small shifts within the first few weeks — such as feeling less overwhelmed, having clearer plans for their work, or communicating more openly about challenges. Deeper skill development often unfolds over the course of a semester or longer as strategies are practiced consistently.

The goal of this work is lasting independence, not quick fixes.

How will I know if coaching is helping?

Progress in executive function coaching often shows up in both practical and personal ways. Families or students frequently notice changes such as:

- Less daily stress around schoolwork
- Improved organization and planning
- More follow-through on responsibilities
- Greater self-awareness about strengths and challenges
- Increased confidence and self-trust

Sometimes the biggest shift is that students begin to see themselves differently — not as “lazy” or “behind,” but as capable learners who simply need the right tools and support.

What if my student isn’t motivated?

It’s very common for students to feel discouraged, overwhelmed, or resistant when they first begin this work. Lack of motivation is often a signal that a student hasn’t yet found strategies that truly work for their brain.

In our sessions, we focus on building trust first. From there, we begin introducing tools and systems that make school and daily responsibilities feel more manageable.

However, coaching works best when a student is at least somewhat open to participating in the process. They don’t need to be perfectly motivated — but they do need to be willing to show up, engage, and try.

When that openness is present, meaningful growth can happen.

What Kind of Student Partnership Works Best?

I work best with students who are respectful, kind, and willing to engage in the process — even when it feels uncomfortable or new. They don’t need to be perfectly organized or highly motivated to start. They just need to be open.

The greatest growth happens when students:

- Show up thoughtfully
- Are willing to try new strategies
- Practice skills between sessions
- Communicate honestly about what’s working and what’s not
- Trust that progress takes time

Executive function coaching isn’t something I do to a student — it’s something we build together. I create a calm, supportive, shame-free space, and I expect that same level of respect in return. If a student isn’t ready to engage in that way yet, it may simply not be the right time — and that’s okay.

What Kind of Family Partnership Works Best?

Executive functioning skills grow best when students feel supported both in our sessions and at home.

Families who see the most progress are responsive, communicative, and willing to reinforce the strategies we practice. They approach challenges with curiosity rather than blame, stay open to small shifts at home, and continue seeing the good in their child — even during hard seasons.

Students should not carry this work alone. When everyone is on the same team, growth feels safer and more sustainable.

I use a shame-free, strengths-based approach and invite families to join me in that mindset. When students consistently experience encouragement instead of criticism, meaningful progress follows.

When and where can you meet with me?

All sessions are held virtually via platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or FaceTime.

Because I meet students where they are, I’ve had the privilege of working with students all over the United States and abroad. 

Sessions are scheduled at a mutually agreed-upon time based on your availability and my current openings. Most clients meet at the same time each week to support consistency and progress.

Is there a minimum commitment required for coaching?

There is no required minimum commitment, but consistency is important for the work to be meaningful. Most students meet weekly and continue for at least a semester to allow time for skills and strategies to take root. Because space is limited and I often have a waitlist, students who cancel frequently may lose their reserved session time. Either party may choose to discontinue coaching at any time if it no longer feels like the right fit.

How much do sessions cost and how is billing handled?

EF Coaching and Academic Tutoring sessions are $150 for 55 minutes, and Educational Consulting is $200 for 55 minutes. Payments are processed weekly through my client management system, Teachworks, using Stripe. I accept debit cards, credit cards, and direct bank transfer (ACH).

Can you use insurance to cover EF coaching and/or tutoring?

At this time, I am not able to accept insurance. Executive function coaching is considered an elective service, and insurance companies do not provide diagnosis or billing codes for this type of work.

That said, some families choose to explore alternative funding options.

FSA/HSA

  • If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), you may be able to use those funds toward coaching services if they are deemed medically necessary. Approval policies vary by provider, so I recommend contacting your FSA/HSA administrator directly to ask whether executive function coaching qualifies under your plan.
  • I’m always happy to provide invoices or documentation if needed for submission.

ESA Funds

  • I accept ESA+ funds via the third-party vendor Classwallet for students who qualify for either income-based scholarships or disability-based scholarships. Please see your state’s specific guidelines for more information about this process.
