About Me

Tacoma, WA, United States
I was the Executive Director of the national non-profit organization, Attention Deficit Disorder Resources, (addresources.org), for 15 years. I am well prepared to provide you with excellent coaching. I graduated from the International Coach Academy, a coaching school certified by the Inter-national Coach Federation and I have a Master's Degree in Social Work. Over the past 15 years, I have talked with numerous people about their ADHD concerns and have attended or presented at a number of ADHD workshops and conferences. I have lived, and eventually thrived, with ADHD which was diagnosed when I was 49. I am married and have three adult sons, two with ADHD. I live in Tacoma, WA although born and raised in a small New England town. I was in the Peace Corps, toured China in 1983 when it first opened to the outside world, and seen much of the United Staes, especially our beautiful national parks. My interests, beyond helping people with ADHD achieve their full potential, are playing brain games on the computer, reading, travel, bicycling, skiing and hiking.

Is It You or Your ADHD?

Have you ever wondered which of your behaviors can be attributed to ADHD and which are just you?

I use to ponder this conundrum frequently after I got diagnosed. But with time, this dicotomy has lost interest and relevance for me.

Certainly, it is helpful to do all you can with medications and/or other interventions to make your brain function the best it can be, but after that "you are on your own--sink or swim."

It is believed that those who became adults with undiagnosed ADHD lack many skills. But whether I lack skills because of my ADHD or for other reasons, my goal is to be as successful in life as I can be and to help others with ADHD do the same.

Do you have goals you have been unable to meet on your own? Do you lack skills so that your life is a continual challenge? Learn the value of partnering with an ADHD coach to increase your success quotient. Call Cynthia now at 253-238-0729 to discuss whether coaching is appropriate for you.
