What Is Coaching?
At ADHD Brain Understood, coaching focuses on the future. The client and the coach are equal partners in our relationship. I won't tell you what to do, how to feel, or do the work for you. We will, however, focus on your specific goals and I’ll support your journey, starting with where you are now and where you are headed. Coaching can focus on relationships, careers, obstacles, and a positive, proactive approach. I will focus on the "WHO" to assist you in being the best version of yourself that you can be. We all have places in our life where we struggle, by working together, we will address those struggles and find solutions tailored to assist you in overcoming them.

How my journey into coaching began…
I worked as a Nuclear Medicine professional at a prestigious medical facility for 23 years. As my children grew up, I could see that what seemed easy for other parents was becoming problematic for me - even simple everyday tasks, social behaviors, time management, goal-setting, problem-solving and simple organization. At 49, I was diagnosed with ADHD.

What Our Clients Are Saying
"I was recently diagnosed with ADHD in my 20’s while I was attending college. I was really struggling to stay on top of my classwork and stay motivated while also managing my time effectively. After being diagnosed, I looked into finding someone to support me who is knowledgeable about working with people who have ADHD and could offer me support that would consider my unique needs. Dawn is a great coach who works together with me to identify where I need the most support and to come up with a plan based on what works best for me as an individual using strategies that have been proven effective for people with ADHD. She’s very supportive and her coaching has really helped me to manage my time better so I’m able to get the important things done on time more often. I really recommend her! "

"Dawn I want you to know although I never met you in person you have played a big part in my journey. I love what you're doing, thank you! "
Michelle C.
"Working with Dawn was great! She was an awesome listener! She provided helpful insights when I needed them! I started coaching so confused on what to do and where to go in many areas of my life. Dawn helped me figure out why I wanted to accomplish my goals and what’s getting in my way. I am now more clear on what goals I want to focus on and how I can accomplish them! "
Karly W.
"Dawn is a great coach, and her support really helped me get through the final year of my college program. It was pretty intense and overwhelming for me to manage my classwork with my job and other responsibilities, but Dawn worked together with me to come up with strategies to make it more manageable and build better habits. She’s also very flexible, so if something doesn’t really work for me, she will work together with me to figure out what method would be best to suit my needs! She’s also very supportive and will do a quick check-in with me between sessions on weeks where I have a lot on my plate and really need it.."
