REALIGN TO WHAT MATTERS MOST
Executive Functioning Coaching in Chapel Hill, NC
Serving high masking, overworked, and overwhelmed adults who are tired of trying harder and still feeling behind.
Do you need another to-do list to manage your to-do list?
You’re high-energy, curious, spontaneous, and fun to be around!
But you’ve just forgotten another important birthday or missed another huge deadline.
You’re feeling overwhelmed by all the things you have to do and it never feels like you have enough time to do them.
Maybe things just seem so much easier for everyone else
Maybe you’re also feeling stuck or stagnant in your career, it was something you were passionate about but now it’s unfulfilling.
Or my personal favorite… How many books are you reading right now?
You know something has to change…
If you get another poor performance review, your job may be at risk
Your relationship is already strained, even without missing another important date or forgetting your part of the household responsibilities
You want a meaningful, interesting life and career, but at times you feel like you can’t seem to get your head above water with all of the things you have to do
What Thriving With ADHD Could Look Like
Imagine if…
The morning didn't start with that low hum of dread about everything you're already behind on
You could sit down to work and actually trust yourself to follow through—no negotiating, no bribing, no last-minute scramble
"I forgot" stopped being a phrase you had to apologize for, because the systems caught it before you did
Your big goals felt like things you're steadily moving toward, not guilt you carry around
You had real energy left at the end of the day, instead of running on fumes from white-knuckling your way through it
The unexpected stuff—the schedule change, the curveball—felt manageable instead of catastrophic
You went to bed feeling like you actually ran your day, instead of your day running you
How I can help
Executive function coaching can help you regain control of your time, life, and career.
Together we will…
Find ways to get started on the thing you keep circling but never actually open—so "I'll do it later" stops being the whole day
Build guardrails for focus so you can stay with a task long enough to finish it, instead of looking up two hours later wondering where you went
Set up external reminders and capture systems so important things stop living in your head and falling out of it at the worst moments
Create realistic plans that break overwhelming projects into steps you can actually see the start of
Notice the emotional spikes—frustration, that "ugh, forget it" feeling—and build in pauses so they don't hijack your whole afternoon
Learn to shift gears when the plan changes, instead of getting stuck or thrown off for the rest of the day
Set up checkpoints to catch yourself before small things snowball, so you can course-correct without the spiral
So you can…
Trust that the important stuff is actually getting done—not just looming over you all day
Feel the relief of finishing something instead of carrying a dozen half-done things around in your head
Stop the late-night panic of remembering the thing you forgot, because it's captured somewhere you trust
Look at a big project and feel "okay, I know where to start" instead of "nope, not today"
Get through a frustrating moment without it wrecking the rest of your day
Roll with the unexpected instead of letting one change derail everything
Feel more like the capable person you actually are—not someone constantly apologizing or playing catch-up
Here’s what we’ll do together
EF Coaching is designed to help you work smarter, not harder.
Coaching is best for clients who want our work together to feel both supportive and genuinely useful.
That means our time can be reflective, but it's mostly active. We brainstorm. We troubleshoot. We experiment. We build—together.
I'll help you step back far enough to see what's actually going on, and then we'll turn that clarity into something you can act on this week, not someday.
That might look like:
Seeing where your time actually goes, so you can decide where you want it to go
Getting clear on what matters most to you—and lining your days up to match
Building your schedule around the things that energize you, not just the things that drain you
Creating systems and routines that steady you, without making life feel rigid or boring
Setting "good enough" goals that are easy to start, so the hardest part feels a lot less daunting
Finding language for the boundaries and conversations you've been putting off
Spending more of your time in the work that only you can do
This isn't about doing it all perfectly. It's about creating systems, rhythms, and support that make your days feel more manageable—and more like your own.
What we’ll work on
You’ll walk away with —
01
More time for what matters—because you'll know exactly where it's going and how to redirect it.
02
A clear sense of direction—your days aligned with what's actually important to you, not just what's loudest.
03
Energy that lasts—a rhythm built around what sustains you, so you're not running on empty.
04
Systems that hold—habits and routines that make starting easier and keep things steady when life gets busy.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No :) The simplest difference is focus: therapy spends more time on how your challenges have affected you emotionally, while coaching is action-oriented—centered on what we're going to do about them. That's why I draw on my master's in education and two coaching certifications for this work rather than my clinical license. And if we figure out together that therapy would actually serve you better, I'll connect you with some of my favorite humans for referrals.
-
We start by getting the lay of the land: a time audit, a look at your strengths and the spots where you tend to get stuck, and some process mapping.
From there, the work gets practical—we'll examine your current task-management system, integrate it with your calendar, and figure out which tools genuinely fit the way you work.
Then we set priorities: we triage first, tackling anything overdue or urgent, before zooming out to map your next month, quarter, and year.
The goal is to eventually have your whole year laid out, important projects and all, so we can set a pace that works for your brain and your very real list of responsibilities.
-
Sessions average $150 each, with the initial session running a little higher since it includes getting you set up in a system and loaded up with resources.
I ask for a minimum of three sessions to start—enough to build real momentum—which brings the starting investment to $497.
After those first three, we recalibrate together: some clients find that's enough to get rolling on their own, while others like to keep a steady rhythm going.
-
Along with our sessions, you'll get lifetime access to an accompanying digital course (valued at $397) at no extra cost.
So that’s: At least 3 live sessions, asynchronous support via email and chat, a digital course with my favorite resources, and lifetime access to everything we create together
-
We'll set up regular sessions—weekly or biweekly, depending on what fits your schedule. I can usually get our first session on the calendar within a week of your consultation.
-
Coaching isn't, but ADHD therapy is—and ADHD therapy includes some executive functioning support, too. So if you'd prefer to use your insurance, let's talk it through in your consultation and figure out what makes the most sense for your situation.
