About Tracy

A bit of my path

Over the last two decades, I’ve worked with children and adults living with ADHD and other co‑occurring conditions, supporting them and their families through complex life situations.

I also live with inattentive ADHD. Initiation, information overload, and the tug between avoidance and hyperfocus aren’t abstract concepts for me—they shape how I pace our work and protect nervous systems in the process.

My recent doctoral research explored how adults with ADHD make sense of their diagnosis and identity across work and life. I’m especially interested in how medical, educational, and cultural narratives can both constrain and expand what feels possible.

How I work

• Person-before-diagnosis : we start with you, not your label or symptom list.
• Stories and systems: we pay attention to the contexts—family, work, culture—that shape your experience.
• Reflective inquiry + alliance: we think together, not me telling you how to “fix” yourself.
• Concrete redesign: we translate insight into small, sustainable experiments in work and daily life.

You can see how this shows up in my 1:1 Coaching

Speaking & collaboration

Alongside 1:1 coaching, I occasionally speak with clinicians, coaches, educators, and organizations about ADHD, identity, and being “more than your ADHD.” I’m especially interested in contested narratives, constrained voices, and what it looks like to redesign everyday life in practice.

Sample Topics

• You Are Not Your ADHD: Supporting personal agency while recognizing how medical, educational, and workplace systems shape ADHD narratives.
• Stories We Tell About ADHD: How individual, family, and cultural stories can constrain or expand what feels possible—and how to co-create new ones.
• Designing Lives That Fit Real Brains: Translating critical ADHD perspectives into practical changes in work, school, and home, without putting all the burden on the individual.
