Meet Ellen
Ellen is an ADHD and life coach serving clients in-person in Silicon Valley and remote clients worldwide. Her passion is helping students, adults and families get unstuck, leverage their strengths and move forward with clarity and confidence.

"My experience as an educator, my training in marriage and family therapy and ADHD, and my role as a mom to kids with ADHD have given me a deep appreciation of the challenges faced by individuals and families living with ADHD in a neurotypical world. Whether you're a student or an adult, understanding what your brain is doing and why can give you the insight and courage you need to shape your life in ways that make sense for YOU. I start from the belief that you have strengths that can be powerful assets when you get to know them and put them to work for you. Together we will use evidence-based methods to help you understand your ADHD and develop skills that you can use to become successful in school, at work, and in your family. As we work together, my hope for you is to become excited for your future, discover your competence, and recognize your unique value in the world."

Why Coaching?
Time Management
You wake up in the morning with great ideas for things to accomplish, but by the end of the day they never get done. Coaching can help you understand why time management is a challenge and develop skills to stay on top of it all.
Self-Confidence
You watch others around you succeed, but you carry nagging doubts about your own abilities. Coaching can help you discover and leverage your strengths so you feel more confident at work, in school, and at home.
Positive Outlook
Do you wonder why you seem to dwell on the negative? Studies show that a positive outlook is related to improved performance and better mental health. Coaching can help you grow a more positive outlook for increased productivity and enhanced well-being.
Organization Skills
It seems like other people stay organized and meet deadlines, but it's an ongoing challenge for you. Coaching can get to the root of what's going on and help you create strategies that work especially for you.
Improved Relationships
Conflict frequently emerges around the same issues and change seems beyond your control. Coaching can help you see what's really going on so that you and the important people in your life can work together instead of against each other.
Emotional Regulation
​It only took a second to say something you didn't mean and now you can't take it back. Coaching can increase awareness of your emotional responses so that you can regulate your reactions.​​
