ABOUT TRACEY

In 2014 an ADHD diagnosis became a turning point in Tracey’s life, freeing her from the shame of wondering “What’s wrong with me?”, to gaining a new sense of self understanding and acceptance, along with finding tools, resources, and HOPE! 

It is Tracey’s passion to help others who struggle with their ADHD symptoms to find new ways of working with their brain instead of against it, to identify and celebrate their strengths, and to see themselves as the precious, mistake making, worthwhile individuals they truly are.

Tracey has a diverse professional background, having spent time as a Volleyball Coach, a Caregiver for people with disabilities, a Restaurant Server turned Restaurant Manager, an HR Director, as well as a Talent Acquisition Consultant for several franchise brands across the US. She has led coaching conversations/group exercises for leadership development and team building since 2018.

She has found success and meaning in her work because of her genuine desire to serve others with a focused presence and care for people as individuals. She does this through a deep sense of curiosity and drive to learn, a keen intuition for identifying underlying issues, a talent for organizing and creating systems that work, and an ability to communicate and teach abstract concepts. People that have worked with Tracey have said she brings a calm presence and gentle honesty to every meeting. 

As an ASN ADHD Coach Intern, Tracey can personally relate to clients who desire to create positive change in their lives while they are actively working through chronic pain or illness, recovery from abuse, loss, or grief.

What Our Clients Are Saying...

  • Changed my Life

    "I came to (my coach) broken after years of struggling with ADHD and PTSD. Her professionalism, positivity, realism, understanding, and experience with ADHD provided the path I needed to 'get out of the weeds'..

    She understood me more after the first few weeks than my therapist that I had worked with for over a year. I just wish I found her sooner so that I could have changed my life for the better years ago before I made so many mistakes and bad decisions.

    My relationships have never been stronger, my career is the healthiest it has been in years, and I am actually setting long term goals and accomplishing them. Most of all, my relationship with myself is, for the first time in a long time, positive and loving. I am looking forward to the future (even during this covid craziness). I am not in the clear yet (or ever might be) but I am on the right path and that is all thanks to my coach. Thank you."
