Donae

Hi, I'm Donae

I'm a professionally trained ADHD and Executive Function coach with over 20 years of experience supporting neurodivergent individuals—first as an occupational therapist, and now as a coach.

But my understanding of ADHD isn't just professional.

In fact, I think the most valuable thing I bring to my clients is my personal experience.

I know personally how ADHD can affect every area of life:

relationships

parenting

education

career

finances

self-care

self-esteem

& self-trust.

I understand what it’s like to try all the “right” strategies and still feel stuck.

I’ve been there and I finally found a way forward that actually worked for my brain. I can help you do the same.

Along with that personal experience, I bring curiosity, compassion, and humor to the work I do.

My Approach

I ask thoughtful and intentional questions and really listen to your answers before I contribute.

We'll explore where you are now, where you want to go, and what's getting in the way.

Together, we’ll come up with practical, doable steps that you can take each week to move toward your goals.

Between sessions, you’ll have access to encouragement, accountability, and support when you need it most.

You'll understand the why behind the strategies we use- that way you'll be able to adjust when life throws you new challenges (even if we've already finished working together).
