ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Lisa— ADHD/Adulting Coach & Founder of Functioning Forward

I started Functioning Forward because I know how it feels to have a brain that doesn’t always play by the rules. Whether you’ve struggled with time management, emotional overwhelm, adulting or simply keeping up with daily life, I want you to know: you’re not broken — your brain just works differently.

I’m a certified ADHD coach and I work with teens, adults, and professionals who want to build systems, find focus, and create momentum in their lives, without shame or burnout.

My coaching style is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and humor. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we’ll work together to find tools and routines that actually work for you, your brain, your energy, your life.

You might come to coaching feeling stuck, scattered, or exhausted. That’s okay. You don’t have to “get it all together” to start. We begin where you are, and move forward, one step at a time.
