I am a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), trained and certified by the Coaches Training Institute in San Rafael, California, as well as a Senior Certified ADHD Coach (SCAC), certified by the Institute for the Advancement of ADHD Coaching (IAAC), the first organization dedicated to credentialing ADHD coaches.
I bring to coaching an extensive background in education, including many years as a high school classroom teacher, as well as 16 years as a learning skills and strategies instructor at the Duke University Academic Resource Center, where, in addition to offering ADHD coaching, I also served as an academic advisor.
Memberships include CHADD (Children & Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder, ICF (the International Coach Federation), ACO (the ADHD Coaches Organization), and IAAC.
My home is in Durham, NC, where I am part of a multigenerational household that currently includes a daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and an uneasy blend of pets. I am a publishing poet, swimmer, and lover of diverse music. As MS put my late husband on wheels, I have a lively interest in the issue of universal accessibility. And I am very much at home in a family given to dark humor, where the coffee table books are John Callahan, Gary Trudeau, and The Far Side, and the calendar on the kitchen wall comes from Despair.com.
