self-compassion based ADHD coaching
as your coach I believe :
You are whole.
You have all the tools you need.
That your ADHD brain and body can offer you super-powers, once you learn how to wield them.
That you can be more of who you want to be and DO more of what you dream of doing when you kick the perfectionism/shame habit.
In your ability to grow, learn, forgive, and change.
In play and metaphor and the enormous intelligence our bodies possess.
In the freedom available when you’re willing to re-write your stories.
In the wisdom and clarity that can come from being with, moving with discomfort.
In silence.
as your coach I promise to :
Bring a boundless wonder and sense of possibility to our journey.
Stand up for & your dreams, to you.
Ask those reality shifting questions that make you wish you’d never met me, but also very glad you did.
Share what I hear and see with loving, unvarnished honesty.
Offer scientifically grounded ADHD information, in digestible bites.*
Co-create strategies and tools to support your ADHD brain. *
Move at a pace and rhythm that work for you.
Bring mama bear love to our work - never shaming, but always fierce.
Expect your full buy-in.
*Many clients arrive to coaching hoping for some quick strategies to “optimize” their time and lives, or to learn all they can about ADHD.
While I am happy to offer resources and tools, the best “tip” or “trick” is the one that clicks for you. The one that sparks excitement and interest, and is, ultimately, adaptable and workable enough to last.
Similarly, because each person’s experience is so different, the best informational tidbits are those that unlock your understanding of yourself, your habits, your history. The ones that free you from a story of moral failing, or chronic, fixed challenges, and instead give you the ability to step back, and say “Oh! That’s just my ADHD brain again!” and get moving from there.
About Liza
Who I Am & Why I Coach
As a coach, I help clients (re)connect with their bodily intelligence, self-compassion and sense of possibility, to awaken organic, lasting growth and change.
Before becoming a coach, I earned my MFA in acting, worked as a professional actor, founded and ran a theater company, and juggled many a side hustle in NYC. Throughout this, I was navigating life with ADHD — a diagnosis I received in high school, that has shaped how I move through the world, throughout my life.
How I Work With You
In the coaching (zoom) room, I draw on the rich toolbox I developed as an actor: empathy, deep listening, imagination, humor, playfulness, and wonder. My experience as a spoken voice teacher allows me to help clients tune-in to their bodily intuition and wisdom — unlocking new insight, perspectives, and possibilities.
Motherhood crystallized the importance of self-compassion over perfectionism for me. Since then, I have become a spokeswoman for the freedom available through healing from the pressure to "get it right."
This learning was reinforced through my ADHD coach training & self discovery — connecting all the ways my ADHD contributes to this tendency. And how liberating, motivating, and ultimately productive choosing self-compassionate action over perfection can be. I now support my clients in doing the same—building a more forgiving, resilient relationship with themselves and their ambition.
For My ADHD Peeps
As a coach with ADHD, I bring professional training, 10 years of coaching experience, and a lifetime of lived experience and personal insight to my work with neurodiverse clients. I listen for the subtle ways ADHD might be influencing behavior, motivation, energy, and emotional life—helping clients understand themselves more clearly and develop sustainable approaches rooted in their strengths.
What It’s All About
It’s my privilege and joy to offer the people I work with the space to breathe, feel, and speak their truth. Together, we get honest about where they are—both the beautiful and the gritty—clarify what matters, and move intentionally toward a life that feels aligned, embodied, and filled with possibility.
If any of this is intriguing, I hope you’ll reach out — I always love a chat.
