Hi, I’m Ryan. I know this from more than one side.
I know the effort people don’t see.
Diagnosed at 37, I bring lived experience and practical support.
More about this perspective
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 37. That experience shapes the way I listen: with curiosity about what’s getting difficult, and respect for how hard you may already be trying. Together, we look for practical supports that fit your life.
My goal is to help you build practical skills and routines that fit your life, with understanding and room to be yourself.

Questions about support
How can ADHD coaching help me?
ADHD coaching helps you turn intentions into practical action. We can work on starting tasks, managing time, following through, and building routines that fit your everyday life. Together, we try manageable strategies and adjust them based on what works for you.
Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to get started?
No diagnosis is needed. If you’re struggling with attention, organization, or follow-through, we can discuss your experience and whether my services fit your needs.
What if I know what to do but struggle to do it?
That gap can be frustrating. We’ll explore what makes action difficult, including the task, your environment, and the support available. Then we’ll identify specific steps that make getting started and following through more manageable.
How does ADHD coaching work with teens?
We start with teen-centered goals: what your teen wants help with and what they would like to feel easier. Coaching can focus on schoolwork, routines, time management, and follow-through, with your teen actively choosing and practicing strategies.
How involved will I be as a parent?
We begin with you present and engaged during the 30-minute session. As your teen builds skills and becomes more independent, your participation gradually decreases. We adjust that transition to your teen’s needs and progress.
What if my teen is hesitant about getting support?
We start by listening to their concerns and exploring their own goals. Their perspective matters. The consultation gives us a chance to discuss what support could look like and whether it feels like a good fit.
What is parent training, and how can it help my child?
Parent training gives you practical ways to support your child through everyday challenges. We can explore routines, transitions, expectations, and responses to difficult moments, then practice strategies that fit your family.
What does behavioral therapy involve?
Behavioral therapy involves understanding how behavioral symptoms connect to events and situations in everyday life. Together, we explore those connections and identify specific steps you can take to address challenges and build useful skills.
Do you work with my child, with me, or with both of us?
We work with parent and child together. Sessions are available virtually, or in person if you’re in the San Diego area.
What happens during the free consultation?
The free consultation lasts 15–30 minutes. We’ll talk about what brings you here, what you’d like help with, and how I approach support. You can ask questions about services, costs, and next steps before deciding whether to begin.
How much does support cost, and do you accept insurance?
At this time, services are private pay only due to insurance policies. Assessments start at $179, and sessions start at $79. Prepaid monthly options start at $179 for two hours of support per month. We’ll discuss the options and costs before you begin.
Are sessions online or in person?
Virtual options are available across the country. In-person options are available in the San Diego area.
How often would we meet, and how long are sessions?
We typically meet for 30 minutes, once or twice per week. Session length and frequency depend on your needs, and we’ll discuss a schedule that fits your goals.
How will we know whether support is helping?
We’ll choose clear goals together and review them regularly. Progress might mean getting started more easily, having smoother routines, or handling difficult moments with more confidence. Your experience helps guide what we keep, change, or try next.
