Hi, I'm Donae.

My professional Background

With over 25 years of experience supporting neurodivergent clients (first as an occupational therapist, now as an executive function coach), my foundation offers a unique lens for our coaching work.

Whether we're eliminating sensory barriers to make daily self-care easier, reducing overwhelm to help you get started, or rewriting the unhelpful, shame-based stories so you can get un-stuck from the all-or-nothing loop, my focus is always on what works for your specific brain.

I blend a function-focused approach with humor, compassion, and practical problem-solving to help you build flexible systems, reach your goals, and ultimately learn to trust yourself again.

Why I do this work

Because "just try harder" didn't work for me, either.

I remember the version of me who was working SO hard and still always feeling like I was behind. I didn't need another life "overhaul", I needed help seeing how my brain actually worked, and how to lean into that rather than try to totally reinvent myself.

That's the coach I try to be.

The one I wish I'd had when things were the hardest.

MY personal background

My path hasn't been linear (or all that pretty). As a later in life diagnosed adult and parent of kids with ADHD, I get that this process can be frustrating.

I understand what it's like to try dozens of tools and have none of them stick. Or to show up and kill it one day and then barely be able to crawl out of bed the next. To have a 100 amazing ideas but exhaust myself before I could make even one happen. Or to be SO excited about a new start, just to fizzle out in a few weeks.

I've struggled with most of the topics my clients bring to coaching, but I finally learned how to work with my brain to get things done & trust myself (while still enjoying my life)! And the best part is it's an approach I can actually stick with.

I can help you do the same.

What Clients Are Saying

Supportive, practical guidance for navigating ADHD with more clarity and confidence.

“Donae has been a huge help. She is kind, thorough, responsive, and holds you accountable without being overbearing. I use many of the suggestions that she has made/we have come up with together. Cannot give enough stars!.”

— Laura F.

“As someone who has been struggling with motivation and productivity with my ADHD, Donae was a wonderful coach for me. She introduced me to new techniques to help with managing my ADHD brain, and was so supportive throughout the entire coaching process. I would definitely recommend her to anyone struggling with ADHD"

— Rachel L.

I had a wonderful experience working with Donae! She is extremely knowledgeable and prepared with a ton of helpful tools and strategies for creating habits and achieving goals. I really appreciated what a thoughtful listener she is, and how she asked great questions to truly get to know me and understand my unique challenges. Meeting with her was almost as fun as it was helpful - she makes coaching feel approachable and is ready to tackle any issue you’re having with a positive mindset and tangible solutions. I would recommend Donae to anyone who wants to learn more about their ADHD (or just how they think) and add great resources to their toolkit to be more successful at work, school, or home. Thanks Donae!

— Colette B.

"Donae’s coaching was an actual life-changer for me. A true coach, she equipped me with skills to apply to my all aspects of my life - career, household management, and even parenting.

A common issue with women with ADHD is job underperformance d/t leading to being under-employed

With her coaching, I’m finally in a career that matches my true capabilities (with an income that I feel good about)!"

— Kristin D.

Wonderful experience! She was so great & supportive & helped me find the tools to succeed!
