Gathered

From scattered to gathered.

For women with late-diagnosed ADHD, Gathered is a six-week group coaching program that helps you understand your beautifully contradictory brain and release the shame dimming your inner fire.

What you walk away with
Finally understand your brain

A personalized map of how your executive functioning actually works, plus the light and shadow of your top five strengths — where each one carries you, and where it quietly costs you. This is about you specifically.

Tools that actually fit you

A field guide built around how you work, a workbook for saying no without the spiral, and an anxiety toolkit of real practices — the worry motel, the cold-water pause, RAIN — for the moments you need something to reach for.

Women who get it

Late-diagnosed, done explaining themselves, no translation required. Accountability buddies who stay past week six, and a room where the thing you were bracing to be judged for gets a laugh instead.

It wasn't anxiety. It wasn't laziness. You're not alone.

You don't get to choose which version of your brain clocks in each day.

For once, you won't have to explain. Gather with a coach and a group who get it. Because in many ways the inconsistency is the disability — and learning your best systems, boundaries, and tools can make all the difference.

Why this, why me

Twenty-five years of clinical experience, behind the coaching.

I've worked with children, teens, adults and couples — I've seen ADHD at every stage of life, and how it impacts work and relationships. Staying in something far too long, or hopping from one thing to the next — it's the same brain, just opposite symptoms.

This is not therapy — it's insight, so you can stop the patterns yourself. I've had plenty of practice holding the depth of your reality and your accountability at the same time.

How it works

How your fire gets tended.

It starts by focusing on your specific brain. Then one ninety-minute session a week — live or recorded, your call. Everything else is there if you want it, and never a thing you have to keep up with.

Made for your brain

First, get your personalized executive functioning skills profile.

You'll take an assessment that shows where your strengths live and what your brain actually needs — then match the color-coded field guide to your own profile.

Group coaching & teaching

Led by me — expert coaching designed to help you learn how your brain works and find your light. The group stays small on purpose, so you get real attention instead of a webinar. Each week builds on the one before it, with room to bring what's actually happening in your life rather than sitting through a fixed lecture. And every session is recorded and posted afterward, so missing one costs you nothing — you can catch up in the bath, on a walk, or at two in the morning.

Ask on your own schedule Nothing live to attend
Weekly Q&A, answered on video
Answered anonymously

Drop a question in any time during the week — no raising your hand, no talking in front of the group. Every week I answer a handful in a video, usually thirty minutes or less, kept short on purpose so it never becomes one more thing you owe. Watch it whenever suits you. Ask about anything — a system that stopped working, or the thing you're embarrassed to still be struggling with. And when someone asks what you were quietly wondering, you get that answer too.

All 6 weeks & beyondOpt in — I hope you will
Abuddygroupyoukeep

Running underneath everything — a supportive, non-shaming group for getting things done, not for making small talk. We set up how it works in your intake and our first session, so nobody has to invent it. It's your choice to join, and I hope you try it. Needing accountability isn't a character flaw — it's how ADHD brains get traction.

Ways to connect — use them or don't.

Drop-in hours run every week. Come to all of them, one of them, or none of them. Nothing is tracked and nothing is missed.

60min · drop in
Body doubling

Work alongside others with your camera on or off. No talking required — just the quiet company that helps ADHD brains actually start.

60min · drop in
Analog reset hours

An art prompt, journaling, or just quiet company with the screens down. No skills needed, nothing to finish, no pressure.

Anytime · always there
One private home for everything

Recordings, handouts, and the community all live in one place you can get to whenever you want — not scattered across your inbox.

Why it works

Gathered teaches you the why.

Why three chapsticks work. Why there are sticky labels all over your bathroom. Why regulating your brain from the bottom up is about to become your go-to. You already know it isn't willpower — here you'll understand the science behind it, which is what finally makes it believable.

Twenty-five years of clinical practice, an ADHD certification, and personal experience shaped every part of this program.

Included · The laughs · Your online community

"Fireside Flops"

The shame-dissolving online group where falling down is content, not crisis. Bring your wins, your mishaps, and your most unhinged ADHD confessions — it's a closed room, and what's shared here stays here.

Mishaps encouraged
No shame allowed
Closed & confidential
The other side

Who you are on the other side.

The tools you keep are one thing. This is who you get to be — your light radiating out from a more centered you.

Questions

Good questions, answered.

Who is Gathered for?+

Late-diagnosed women with ADHD who know what they want to do — and keep hitting the wall between wanting to and doing it. If you're tired of masking and ready to understand your brain with people who get it, this is your program.

ADHD rarely travels alone. If you also have dyslexia, dyscalculia, or another learning difference, you're welcome here — supporting learning differences has been a passion of mine my whole career, and this program is run assuming you may have more than one thing going on. Gathered is also LGBTQ+ affirming. Queer and trans women belong here.

Do I need to have an ADHD diagnosis?+

No. This is for late-discovered ADHD — diagnosed in adulthood, or still wondering. Both belong here. What matters is that you have felt this way as long as you can remember, and only recently had a name for it. Gathered doesn't diagnose or assess; it's coaching and education.

Is this therapy?+

No — this is coaching, not therapy, and it isn't a substitute for mental-health treatment. It's led by a licensed therapist, which brings real depth, but the work here is forward-looking: understanding your brain and building strategies that fit it.

What's the time commitment?+

Ninety minutes a week. That's the whole ask — one live group coaching session, with the recording posted afterward so missing a week costs you nothing. A couple of weeks include a live small-group breakout, which only happens in the room; skip it and you'll still have all the core material. Everything else is optional: drop-in body doubling and analog reset hours run weekly, and your buddy group is yours to opt into. Come to all of it or none of it.

What do I actually walk away with?+

A personalized executive functioning skills profile, the color-coded EF HACKS Field Guide mapped to your results, real regulation and boundary tools, and a buddy group you keep long after the six weeks end.

What's the Founding Cohort?+

The first Gathered cohort is a small founding group, starting September 29. As a founding member, you'll join at a reduced rate of $300 for one of the first twelve seats, in exchange for your honest feedback along the way.

One small additional cost: you'll take the CliftonStrengths Top 5 assessment directly through Gallup's site ($24.99), separate from the program fee. We use it in Week 3, so you'll want it done before then — everything else is included.

This group meets Tuesdays at 11am Pacific for the main session (live or recorded, your call), with optional drop-in body doubling Thursdays at 3pm Pacific and Analog Reset Fridays at 4:30pm Pacific. Times are Pacific, but the recording means you're never locked out if that doesn't line up where you are.

Because it's the first group, I'm paying close attention to what's working and what needs adjusting — your experience helps shape what Gathered becomes for the women who come after you.

Feedback includes one questionnaire, filled in together at the start of the final session — that week runs about 20 minutes long to make room for it. Your answers stay private unless you separately opt in to having a line quoted, first name only, and that part is entirely up to you.

If you change your mind, you can cancel for a full refund up to 10 days before the first session. If you sign up inside that last 10 days, you have 48 hours from enrolling to cancel for a full refund. Otherwise your place is held, so a later cancellation comes back to you as a credit for what you paid — good for six months toward a future cohort — rather than cash. You can also come to that first session, see how it feels, and request a full refund within 48 hours afterwards.

Tend your fire.

The fire inside you was never broken — it just needs tending. Gather with your people, and watch it light the way.

Come when you can. Skip what doesn't fit. The recording is always there. This is built for how your brain works — not one more thing to keep up with.

The kindling list

Letters from the fire.

Sign up and I'll send you the Kindling Kit — a worksheet for the moments rejection stings and you don't much like who you are. Fill it in online or print it. After that, every few weeks: one idea about how the ADHD brain actually works, plus first word when a new cohort or workshop opens.

I'll keep it to a minimum and won't share your email, and every letter has an unsubscribe link. I get it — let's build fires, not noise.

You're on the list.

Check your inbox — your Kindling Kit is on its way, and the next letter comes to you after that.

Making sure Gathered fits
Gathered is a coaching and educational program, not psychotherapy or mental-health treatment.
Are you looking for Gathered to provide therapy, crisis support, or treatment for a mental-health condition?
Gathered is a small, collaborative group. Participants will have different personalities, experiences, challenges, and ways of thinking about ADHD.
Are you comfortable participating respectfully in that kind of environment?
Gathered includes an optional accountability buddy group. Having other people alongside you can make it easier to follow through, stay connected, and get things done — especially with ADHD. I encourage participants to give it a try, even if it feels a little outside your comfort zone.
How are you feeling about participating in an accountability buddy group?
Participation in the buddy group is optional either way.
Is there anything that would help you participate successfully in Gathered?
Optional. Anything you'd like me to know about how you learn, participate, communicate, or stay engaged.
