A Testimonial Poem

"Renee is a marvel as a person and a coach.
She has the skills and training to know just what I need most.
Her sense and sensitivity she wields with such proclivity.
 Because she knows ADHD, and that's not just a boast!"

- Will, North Carolina

Renee's clients say...

I had really no idea what to expect when I started this journey with Renee. I'd never considered that I needed an ADHD Coach, or even really what that meant. Boy, was I in for a treat! Although I've been in therapy for over 20 years, it's a very different experience. I experience coaching as much more practical, less emotionally draining, and it has really affected my experience with daily life.

- Frances, Washington

I’ve been seen by health and mental health professionals before, but without insights and understanding of ADHD there was a limit to its therapeutic or practical usefulness and we would part without resolution. Not so with Renee.

I don’t know if it’s her training, her natural skill, or her character that make her so good at coaching – I suspect all three. What I can say is that I am a better person for it, and I can’t recommend Renee enough if you have ADHD and want to change your life for the better.

- Will, North Carolina

Renee isn’t afraid to face the tough subjects, and she very gently asks me the challenging questions that somehow I had ignored but are crucial to address. Every session, Renee helps me to discover the habitual thought patterns that are keeping me stuck, and to reframe my perspective. Renee always believes in me, and challenges me to consider how I am a success even when I feel like a failure.

More from Renee's clients...

Renee’s patience, compassion, kindness and support have been integral to my forward movement. She helps me get calm and regulated when I am panicking about technology challenges, life challenges, social challenges, memory challenges, health challenges and everything in between. She is there to reflect, ask questions and help me uncover what I need, what I want, and how I want to get there.

When I am not able to take the steps or plan I create for myself, Renee is there to help me pay attention to the negative self-talk and discover what got in the way, without judgment. She helps me to figure out where or how things went wrong and make small adjustments instead of throwing it all out, which is my tendency. She is the calm, kind and centered force in the storm that is sometimes my life.

One of my goals when I started coaching was to overcome the inertia that I felt was keeping me from cleaning, organizing, and de-cluttering my house and garage. As I reflect back on my first 3 months of work with Renee, I feel like that inertia is gone. It's been replaced with a gentle determination to work my way through the mess, simplify, take small steps, and acknowledge the victories along the way.

- Frances, Washington

Renee provided a very safe space for me to tell the truth about my strange and complicated behaviors when I tried to cover up for my struggles with focus, motivation, working memory and executive functioning in the workplace and elsewhere. There was a time that I thought no one would ever understand. Renee helped me to let go of the shame and find peace and self-acceptance. After that, small miracles started to follow.

- Sheila, California

Renee is invariably attentive and compassionate. That’s not to say that she’s a pushover. On the contrary, she asks questions that delve beneath the surface of subjects into the heart of matters, said or unsaid, with some uncanny perception sometimes.  I am usually more knowledgeable about myself by the end of our session.

With active listening skills, Renee draws my enthusiasms out of each subject, leaving me more motivated and self-accepting. Most of the sessions she listens, asks penetrating questions, and encourages me to come to my own conclusions and insights. Other times she will educate me on ADHD and offer me guidance when asked for it. Her direction is gentle but firm.

- Will, North Carolina

After working with Renee, I became ready to try new ADHD resources and my bedroom has been clean and organized for months for the first time in my adult life! Thanks to Renee, my calendaring, reminder, and organizational systems are helping to make my life less chaotic and more manageable. I still have struggles with distraction and time management, but the shame about my ADHD symptoms is about 10% of what it used to be!

- Sheila, California

"Renee asked me at one point, “What if you could use all the energy you spend worrying about not getting things done, or not being good enough, to actually take steps to accomplish your goals and relish your progress?” I burst into tears because I couldn't even conceive of that as a possibility. But it's starting to be a reality!"

- Frances, Washington

Renee has been so good for me and played a huge part in my life over these past months. I love how she coaches. Sometimes she leads, sometimes she follows. She is attentive, interested in all the details of my life and sees things in my words that I don't see. Her insights have been amazing!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Renee for coaching, not just with ADHD, but with any area of life that is needing clarity. She works like a camera taking snap shots of your mind...then somehow translates it into words that you didn't realize you said. What a brilliant mind she is!
