Individual Coaching
Individual coaching sessions
I’ll meet you virtually in a one-to-one meeting where we’ll talk, get to know each other a little, and work together to go after your dreams, or discover what they are, and find joy along the way.
If you’re in Kalamazoo, Michigan and/or Kalamazoo County, email me at adhdcoachdesi@gmail.com to discuss meeting in person.
If you’re in the Kalamazoo area, kids 12-17 can meet with me for in-person ADHD coaching.
Before we start working together, we need to have a quick chat to see if we’re a good fit. You can discover how you feel talking to me, share your concerns, ask any questions. It’s a good idea to talk with a few coaches before choosing one.
Please schedule a free Discovery Call before booking a session with me.

Let’s talk.
Executive Functioning
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is chaos winning? I can help you find balance and momentum to move forward. We’ll work on structures, strategies, and tools to help you manage your executive functioning.
Empowerment & Understanding
Learning to advocate for ourselves begins with discovering what we need. Awareness is the key to empowerment. Coaching is all about raising awareness, whether that’s learning to pay attention to our bodies, noticing what triggers our metldowns and shutdowns, or learning what our boundaries are and how to protect them. If you’re not sure what your wants and needs are yet, coaching can help. Use our sessions for verbal processing to gain awareness and insight, or brainstorm with me to come up with strategies for communication and navigating situations in a way that is comfortable and safe for you.
Self-discovery
The mask is painful. The mask is also our friend. In coaching, we’ll work together to get to know your authentic self, to find the voice that needs to speak, and to recognize when it’s appropriate to mask. It’s necessary to mask sometimes, but it’s also vital to know when and how we’re masking so we can honor our true, beautiful selves.

This scale is based on the equitable sliding scale by Worts and Cumming. I may adapt this scale over time as I continue to research and learn about equitable income and pricing.
Bartering
If you can’t afford my lowest price, maybe we can barter. I need help for all kinds of things, so please let me know if you have a skill, service, or product you’d be willing to exchange for coaching.
Some examples I can think of off the top of my head are original art, construction/remodeling, help with landscape design, proofreading, virtual assistant services. If you have an idea, let’s talk about it.
Group Coaching: Coming Soon
Group coaching is a good way to get coaching services at a lower cost to you, and to meet others like you in the process. Because I’m still a student, my individual coaching prices are so low that I’m not offering group coaching at this time.
If you’re interested in group coaching, please subscribe to my newsletter (below). You can be that I’ll send a newsletter to announce when the first group coaching session is here.
