Individual Coaching
“We can do hard things, but we don’t need to do them in the hardest way possible.” - Eric Tiver
As a coach, I’m here to empower you to live your best life. I will show you tools to help overcome obstacles, stay accountable, and reach your goals. I'm here to help you feel more confident, fulfilled, and achieve balance in your life.
What I do
I help individuals develop their executive functioning skills - a set of cognitive functions that help us self regulate - so that you can effectively plan, prioritize, and sustain effort towards your long term goals.
Many people struggle with their executive functioning skills. This often looks like knowing what to do, but not necessarily how to do it. While this is very true for individuals with ADD/ADHD, mental health diagnoses, Autism, or who have experienced trauma in some form, it is also true for many other people who don't fit into one of those categories. If you have found yourself struggling to find direction, accomplish your goals, or even manage your to-do list, I am the coach for you! "I Can Help" is my motto, and I want to show you tools to overcome obstacles, play to your strengths, and accomplish your goals.
Dr. Barkley, an internationally recognized ADD/ADHD expert, compares executive function skill building to building a ramp for someone with a wheelchair. It's that important.

Executive function is the CEO of our brain, and when it’s impaired, it directly affects our ability to thrive and achieve our goals. Imagine a company without a CEO- it’s chaos.
Executive function is our brain’s ability to plan, organize, control impulses, initiate tasks, manage our time, pay attention, remain flexible, and persevere. Executive functioning skills cover a very wide range of skills that a person needs to be successful. The majority of the soft skills that employers are looking for are managed by executive functioning.

"Kimberly is someone who cares about your journey. She goes above the call of a coach. She is really good about listening to your concerns no matter how small they are. If they’re a big deal to you, she listens with a warm smile and offers suggestions of the resources that are available to you.
She has helped me with personal issues in order to maintain a healthy work life balance. When I was a first year teacher, I felt my life was all about work and when she would meet with me, she would always offer resources and invite me to take the breaths and breathe. Even though she is no longer my direct coach, she continues to check in with me and inspires me to push myself to find ways to maximize my potential."
