I’m passionate about helping people tackle their obstacles to success because I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and exhausted all the time.

Growing up, it never crossed my mind that I might have ADHD, but I always felt a little different from everyone else. I was creative and “gifted” but also forgetful and disorganized. I liked to talk, had a million passions, and I remember feeling bored A LOT.

As a young adult, I had trouble deciding on a career path. I had a lot of interests, but I constantly second-guessed myself. I craved independence and was interested in people— trying to understand them and what made them tick, so I started studying Psychology while working intense customer-facing jobs. I struggled to keep up with both, so I eventually abandoned school to focus on earning. When I saw my peers achieving success in university and their careers simultaneously, I interpreted that to mean I still wasn’t working hard enough. So I scrambled to try harder.

This was a recipe for becoming a huge perfectionist and workaholic. I learned to motivate myself through shame and pure adrenaline, which helped me maintain my coveted high-performer status at work. I was terrific in a crisis or under a deadline, and this approach worked reasonably well for my career advancement.

But, it came at a massive cost. I was constantly exhausted, and I hated myself. Living this way damaged my relationships and led to burnout. I felt deeply ashamed and embarrassed that I struggled to hit milestones my peers found easy. I felt like a fraud and internalized the story that I just sucked at life.

I was finally diagnosed with ADHD in my 30s. This realization completely changed my perception of myself and my life up to that point.

As I learned about ADHD, I began to recognize that the things I disliked most about myself weren’t character flaws or personal failings as I’d always believed. I could suddenly see them for what they were: symptoms of untreated ADHD.

With new treatment tools, I took a career break to finish my Psychology degree. This time, I found my classes interesting (yes, even Stats class) and was able to thrive. It affirmed that I’ve always been capable: I just needed different support to execute successfully.

Seeing my brain in a new light, I’ve continued investing in getting to know and appreciate myself more. I discovered ADHD Life Coaching, which profoundly improved my self-acceptance and self-compassion. Studying to become a coach helped me understand how to work with my brain's strengths rather than relying on shame and fear as my motivators.

Armed with new awareness, it has been liberating to change my mindset and create healthier habits and strategies that work for me. 

Now, I want to help you do the same.

Professional Background

Before becoming an ADHD Coach, I spent over 15 years supporting global clients in high-stakes scenarios with complex issues in the tech and cosmetics industries. Most recently, I worked for the fastest-growing B2B SaaS company of all time, where I led and coached brilliant tech professionals to achieve exceptional results.

In addition to being a Certified ADHD Life Coach (CALC) with the International ADHD Coach Training Center, I have a Psychology degree from Capilano University and a 200 hr Registered Yoga Teacher certification.

I am an INFJ, and my top five Clifton Strengths are Restorative, Individualization, Learner, Empathy, and Relator.

When I’m not coaching, I can be found reading, forest bathing, dreaming up brunch recipes with my fiancé James, indoor cycling, rollerskating, knitting, and critiquing The Bachelor TV franchise like a professional sport. (Not all at the same time…usually.)
