From Professionals
EXECUTIVE COACH
"Working with Kim has truly changed my life. She helped me understand how my neurodivergent brain works and normalized so many things I once blamed myself for. With her guidance, I’ve learned tools, systems, and strategies that actually work for my brain, making me more effective, productive, and, most importantly, kinder to myself. Kim helped me face my shame with compassion, and that self-compassion has allowed me to support others by normalizing our shared experiences. If you’re questioning your experience and are ready for meaningful change, work with Kim. It could change your life too."

COLLEGE STUDENT (FILM & DIGITAL MEDIA)
"I worked with Kim throughout my college years. The work was hard at first but it kept getting easier. I gained confidence in not only my academic skills but also myself. She really brought out the writer in me. What was once a passing interest is now something I want to do professionally. I owe it to her for helping me cultivate this interest. She comes with the highest recommendation from me. There is no one better at this task than her. She truly is that good."

COLLEGE STUDENT (LIBERAL STUDIES)
"Working with Kim over these past two years has been one of the most life-changing interactions I have had the pleasure to experience. Not only did she meet me when I was at an academic and personal low, and raised my feelings of capability and motivation, but she has given me the tools to work through future lows in an easy-to-follow and effective way. Kim has helped me to create a toolbox full of skills for functioning in a way that supports not only my academic life, but my personal life as well. Without the work we've done together, my chronic procrastination and lack of motivation would rule my life. Huge thanks to Kim for the deep impression she's made on my mind and life; anyone who works with her would be lucky to do such."
​
COLLEGE STUDENT (PHILOSOPHY)
"I worked with Kim through my junior year of college at a time when my time management, motivation levels, and overall academic performance needed fixing. Very quickly, through her methods and our discussions, I noticed myself questioning and reshaping my attitude for the better. This didn’t just help my academic performance, but increased my overall self awareness and helped me gain clarity on what I value and really want to do in life. Through the rest of the year, she helped reinforce productive habits and because of her ability to understand me and my usually confusing brain, provided personalized guidance. I am extremely grateful to have started working with Kim, and would highly recommend her!"

COLLEGE STUDENT (ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE)
"Between 2017-2020, I worked over 1,000 hours with Kim. During that time, we developed ways to work with my cognitive and executive functioning challenges so that I could communicate and work more effectively. Kim was the catalyst to my needs getting legs and a voice. Because of our time together, I experienced significant improvements in streamlining my cognitive processes. The benefits I received from her were amplified by and a result of the many hours I spent with her. During our time together, Kim always put her best foot forward. She used the mundane tasks we did as natural learning opportunities. I would highly recommend Kim as an executive functioning specialist."

From Parents
PARENT OF A HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR
"Kim started working with our family when the oldest was in 8th grade and struggling to stay on top of all her assignments. She's been with us since. What we love most is how her involvement adapted to fit our family's needs. She brought in tools to teach our oldest how to manage time, assignments, and self-advocate. She also taught us how to help at home and collaborate with teachers so it was a team effort. As our oldest gained confidence and maturity, Kim stepped back and let her make decisions, which built independence. College research has been done by our oldest with Kim guiding the process and involving us for budget, location, and scheduling. Her updates have always been clear and concise, explaining what was done, why it worked or not, and next steps. We're looking forward to seeing how Kim supports her transition to college."
