ND-affirming Coaching in the PNW

Whether you have a formal diagnosis, have been “peer reviewed” (people with diagnoses claim you as one of their own), or merely have a suspicion that you have some form of neurodivergence, you’re in the right place. Regardless of where you fit under the neurodiversity umbrella, you are welcome here.

And if you would like tailored support from a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed coach to help you:

* reshape your life to support your needs
* reclaim your time and energy
* nurture your own agency, growth, and change

My approach to coaching is neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. Your unique qualities, neurology, strengths, values, identities, and experiences are all elements to take into account when considering the best way to support you to reach your goals.

Note: Stay tuned for blog posts discussing each of those elements and why they are important in coaching.

Let’s nurture and strengthen the seeds of change with practical, personalized action steps

Are you ready to reclaim your time and energy?

Are you ready to shift from disconnection to engagement?

Are you ready to forge your own path?

We all have layers, nuance, and multi-dimensionality. My goal is to create a space where people feel valued for who they are and where they can bring their whole selves to coaching sessions. My approach is not only neurodivergent-affirming, but also queer-friendly, trans-affirming, anti-racist, polyamory-friendly, kink-friendly, and open to learning (because we all have room to grow).

I commit to doing my best to create a welcoming environment for multiply marginalized individuals. As a 40-something, white, cis-gender, queer, AuDHDer with C-PTSD, I continue to seek out educational opportunities from both academics and lived experience educators to better serve people with various intersectional identities, especially identities I do not share.

On a related note, I do not tolerate white supremacist, transphobic, homophobic, misogynist, and otherwise discriminatory statements and behavior.

It is important to note that coaching is not therapy. Although I work with people who have a variety of diagnoses, I do not diagnose or treat disorders. My role is to support you in reaching your goals while considering the nuances that come along with having a different brain, nervous system responses, and lived experiences from what is considered “normative.” I adhere to International Coaching Federation standards and ethics, and I endeavor to always stay in my lane as a coach. If you need help finding a therapist, I can offer support and potential referral options. I also offer other resource referrals as appropriate.
