College & Grad Students with ADHD

Students in high school, college, and graduate school face a unique time in their life dealing with ADHD along with balancing academics, work, and social life. Graduate students have additional responsibilities – dealing with advisers, teaching, dissertations, managing grants and projects. With ADHD added to the mix, it can quickly accelerate to feeling overwhelmed.

As an ADHD coach with 30+ years of experience, I will help you learn techniques to harness the power of your ADHD instead of working against it. 

ADHD Coaching for Students

Students dealing with a heavy cognitive load are also still learning about their ADHD. Information about ADHD leads to greater self-awareness, self-acceptance – and confidence. As the coach, I help each individual build that knowledge with compassion – and without judgment.
