About Christina
A little backstory about how I got where I am today.
As a kid, I enjoyed many creative activities: teaching, making art, writing stories, and exploring the woods. I lived in the present and didn’t have a clear plan for the future.
When I reached my 20s, though, I felt stuck. I had lost my spark, feeling overwhelmed and afraid to navigate the unknown path ahead.
Eventually, I began bumbling through different jobs: ESL teacher, grocery cashier, HR assistant, retail clerk, banker, stem cell researcher, pottery assistant, SAT tutor.
While engaging in my work and in my life, I experienced a sudden life-changing shift in consciousness. After taking a solo cross country road trip, I then settled in California, where I’ve been since 2014.
During this time in California, I’ve been working with clients as a teacher, therapist, artist, team leader, and career coach.
As a teacher, I realized that many of my students had ADHD. And I noticed we had a lot in common. Creativity, curiosity, energy, a similar way of thinking… I could relate. The more I studied ADHD, the more I recognized those traits in myself — and learned how to work with them.
By aligning with my strengths and my energy, life became easier and work became fun. Within a couple years, I was leading a successful team of tutors, while supporting thousands of local families. While rising in my role, I also helped my team land new positions, succeeding inside and outside of the company.
To further develop my skills, I went on to graduate school and earned my master’s degree in Holistic Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University.
While working as a school counselor and then as therapist, I noticed how similar I was to clients diagnosed with ADHD. With our common perspective, along with new insights and systems, the issues they came in for faded away, and they began to succeed in their careers and businesses.
After seeing my own and my clients’ successes, I transitioned away from therapy and opened my private career coaching practice, where I specialize in helping women with ADHD work in ways that align with their natural strengths.
If you’re a woman with ADHD who is ready to elevate her well-being and thrive in your work, I might be the right coach to help you. To find out, let’s connect. You can schedule an initial meeting by clicking here.
