Leadership & ADHD Coach

Coaching Progressive Leaders

Most leadership coaching was designed for one type of leader — a specific body, brain, and background. A particular way of communicating, processing, and performing under pressure. If you’ve spent your career feeling like you don’t quite fit that mold, you’re not imagining it. The mold itself is super outdated.

Higher Vibes Coaching is designed for leaders who never fit the traditional mold — and have no interest in pretending they do. Neurodivergent professionals, BIPOC executives, LGBTQ+ leaders, and otherwise thoughtful “disruptors” who want to build careers, teams, and leadership styles that reflect who they actually are — not who systems force them to be.

A Coach Like No Other

I have specialized training in three areas that many coaches treat as separate:

  • Neurodiversity Support — ADHD, AuDHD, executive function coaching. Not as accommodations. As design principles.

  • Trauma-Informed Coaching — Compassionate, evidence-based approaches that meet you where you are at this moment— not where you think you should be.

  • Recovery Coaching — Support for rebuilding self-trust across mental health, substance use, and relational recovery. Without shame. Without a script.
