My ADHD-Specific Coaching Method

Evidence-based strategies tailored to how ADHD brains actually work

ADHD Brain Assessment

We start by understanding your unique ADHD presentation. Not all ADHD looks the same, and your strategies shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all.


  • Identify your specific executive function strengths and challenges

  • Map your attention patterns and optimal focus times

  • Understand your sensory needs and environmental preferences

  • Assess current coping strategies and what’s not working

Personalized ADHD System Building

Together we create systems that work with your ADHD brain, not against it. These aren’t generic productivity hacks.


  • Custom planning methods for your working memory capacity

  • Dopamine-driven reward systems for sustained motivation

  • Environment design for optimal focus and organization

  • Time management strategies for time blindness

  • Self-advocacy skills for accessing campus accommodations

Campus Integration & Practice

We test and refine your strategies in real Boston campus environments where you actually study and learn.


  • On-campus strategy practice at Northeastern, BC, or Emerson

  • Real-time problem solving in your actual study environments

  • Professor communication practice and accommodation requests

  • Ongoing system refinement based on what works in practice
