What Clients Say
"I have talked with only several therapists/coaches through the decades, and have passed on dozens and dozens who were probably nice people, paid their taxes, but were ill-equipped to provide helpful therapy or coaching.
Beth is the very best coach I have ever worked with. Her insights are founded on her intensive listening and training, her laughter is infectious as a way of getting through the rough, unsanded areas, and her non-judgmental support will put you at ease to have honest, open conversations.
Beth will not give you answers to your problems, but she will help you reveal the answers that were hidden, waiting for you (with Beth's help) to find them. I was pleasantly surprised more than once by what I had discovered after one of our talks."

"It seems every stay-at-home mom I know, including myself, loses sight of her goals for her own self and future. When she’s done being head-down busy with diapers and playgroups, she wakes up and wonders what the heck she’s doing with her life. Add in some ADHD to the mix, and she finds herself (if she’s me) spending entirely too much time on Facebook. Beth has been a wonder at getting me off Facebook and on to more productive tasks that I want to do (and have been wanting to do for ages). For the first time, not only are items on my to-do list getting crossed off, but I’m also able to make time for important, but not urgent, long-term goals I’d been putting off for years. Beth helped me clarify my values and priorities and taught me more about how my brain works so that I can overcome my impulsiveness and live those values. I can’t thank her enough for that!
-V.S, Mom, Editor, Fiction Writer "Working with Beth has changed my life for the better. I would and have highly recommended her as an ADHD and Executive Coach. Beth has taken me through a recursive process of understanding my ADHD symptoms, learning how to use tools that can help me deal with the symptoms, helping me identify my value system, how that value system might drive my personal goals, and how I can live a life that allows me to accomplish those goals. I say recursive because as I become more aware of how ADHD has impacted me, and more accomplished at seeing the world outside of the stress and self-hatred created by ADHD, I have constantly gotten better at using the tools and understanding what I can accomplish with my life. "
-S.H, Vice President of Sales, Fortune 200 Company "Beth is the consummate professional. She is incredibly well read and knowledgeable about ADHD and seemingly every area of self-help that exists. She is always available to help me investigate areas that will help me. Everything from getting enough sleep, exercise, diet, mindfulness, creating habits, etc."
D.R, Engineer "I hired Beth because I wanted to be more productive at work (specifically in regards to more effectively and less stressfully meeting my billable hours requirement). I have become more productive at work, but the biggest effect has been on my family. I'm much more aware of what I'm doing and how it affects both me and them. They would say that I'm better able to slow down and be present with them (not perfect, but definitely better). I spend far less time online, and more time relaxing and rediscovering old interests."

"Beth is friendly and fun. She makes you feel comfortable right away and is not judgemental at all. If you're there to be coached, she's there to help. I love that she gives me suggestions that are tailored to the way my brain works, so we don't waste time talking about things that aren't a good fit for me. I have left every coaching session with a clear idea of which tweaks to try next and a solid understanding of why they're worth trying. And they've worked! All of those little things have added up to a whole lot. I still struggle with focus, but Beth has shown me enough tools and tricks that I'm able to get things done anyway, even when I don't feel like it. Bonus: my colleagues think I'm super capable and organized!
-K.B, Non-profit Communications & Marketing Officer "Beth sees a person’s strengths underneath the burdens
piled on by ADHD. As a writer with the inattentive type of the disorder, the satisfaction of a job well done eluded me. Beth helped me see how the openness of a creative process gets absorbed by routine tasks. I need both structure and freedom. Through a combination of post-graduate writing courses and a scheduled, uninterrupted writing time, I have completed an amount of work in two months that would have previously taken me a year to complete. My productivity brings confidence, and vice versa." -M.G, Retired public relations professional and creative writer "My meetings with Beth are so helpful. We explore what changes I want to make and how I want to make them. We talk about what's working and what's not working. My whole life, people have been telling me "You should try this!" or "This works for me", not realizing that their suggestions made me feel worse, because I couldn't seem to make anything stick. I always felt judged and reacted defensively. I have never felt judged in the least way with Beth. I feel ownership of the process and the work we do, and Beth helps me to stay on track with it. I'm taking small, but meaningful, steps and building confidence in my abilities." - D.F, Small business owner

"I'm learning how to actually PLAN my days in advance and, crucially, look forward to doing so. There's more breathing room in my life when I plan, more spaciousness; I feel more powerful, because my anxiety overwhelms me less, because I see I have the skills to take control of my schedule and tasks.
I also see a therapist, and coaching is a great complement to that work. This isn't about reconciling trauma; it's about acknowledging habits you have, for whatever reason, and working with them (as you also work on the underlying reasons causing them--but separately, with a therapist). Also, it's more practical. It's not about deep emotional work in the way therapy intrinsically is; it's about working with what you've got, to function in the world in a day-to-day practical way.
I feel so safe to share myself with Beth, because I don't sense she ever makes judgements; I sense only her genuine compassion and capacious curiosity. And most importantly, she gently and sensitively holds me accountable in ways that model how I can too.

"I am finally understanding and accepting how my ADD brain impacts my life and my work. Beth really listens and makes sure she understands what I'm saying and that I'm saying what I mean. She knows just how to reframe things in a subtle way so I become aware of how my ADHD brain is affecting my thinking. It seems like every time we talk I feel less overwhelmed and have a plan of action that I created myself with her gentle guidance. The best part is that I see how applying these skills is making a difference in my daily life. Beth is truly a natural at coaching.

"I was diagnosed with ADHD in my mid-forties. I struggled through high school and college, mainly because of serious procrastination habits and impulsive and borderline addictive behavior. Everything felt hard, and I was never sure why. When I was diagnosed, my first thought was that I had wasted years of my life and caused a lot of trouble for myself. My therapist suggested I find a coach to work with on the daily challenges of ADHD (getting to work on time, following through on what I need to do, etc,) and that's when I found Beth. It's been a huge help. Thank you!"

"I am a stay-at-home mom of three children, and coaching has been one of the best things I have done for myself. My ADD seemed to spin out of control, and life became more way more stressful and chaotic once I left my job to stay home with my kids. (Yes, I have meds!) As a mom herself, and someone with firsthand experience with ADD family members, I felt like she knew what I was going through, and was able to help me take a deep breath, come up for air, and to create some strategies for myself and my family."

"Beth is one of the most authentic people I know. She really 'gets' us; sees our humor, creativity, and all the cool stuff we can do! She has great ideas - and NEVER judges us! She figures out the best way to help and communicate w each individual client. I am so grateful to have found her! I consider her coaching and friendship to be one of the most transformative experiences; she was the first professional who I've worked with that doesn't see ADHD as a deficit; she knows the genius of it and gives us tools so the rest of the world can experience our gifts too."
