About

Hi, I'm Dylan. I'm a coach who works with other neurodivergent adults to untangle problems, train squirrels, and overcome the monkey wrenches that prevent us from living healthy, happy, supported and sustainable lives.
       I'm certified and trained by the International Coaching Federation, the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches, and the ADD Coach Academy, as well as the World Federation of ADHD. As you can see I'm a huge nerd, but you can read more about me on my website, alternativeadhd.com.
     If you're interested in working together, please schedule a free consultation before booking a coaching package.

Scaffolding Session (set of 4)

These 30‑minute sessions are not full coaching – they’re a quick scaffold to keep you moving between longer sessions. We’ll check your one experiment, goal or homework project from last week, and either reinforce it, troubleshoot the main stuck spot, and set one tiny next step. No shame if nothing happened – just data and support.

Testimonials

"The point is to learn to work with your brain instead of against it, and the evergreen principles of this approach have truly changed how I operate. This is a coach who understands my day-to-day struggles and also all of the metaphors, so appointments are genuinely fun, too."

- Client

"I’ve worked with Dylan for over six months now. In that time, they’ve helped me find and pursue my passions, make a few major life decisions, and problem solve basic needs. I’m now exercising, cooking for myself, and even flossing — none of which I would have thought was possible for me before working with them. They consistently validate my effort and celebrate my victories, however small. I didn’t realize how much I needed that, but as a result, my general motivation is better than it’s ever been before. I spent almost a decade trying to get results like that out of therapy, but working with them did it. Dylan genuinely cares about their clients. "

- Client

I have been working with Dylan for almost 3 years and I cannot overstate how positively life changing it has been. I started coaching with Dylan shortly after getting diagnosed with ADHD and deciding to leave a masters program. Since then they've supported me as I worked full time, applied to graduate school, studied and worked part time, and transitioned to being a full time student. I could not have successfully navigated that many transitions in 3 years without them!

We've done things like look at patterns I get into, reframe how I look at situations and at myself and my own abilities. Sometimes during an appointment we just work on writing one paragraph for an assignment together that has felt like a big hurdle. They are always willing and prepared to address whatever is going on and they do so with incredible compassion, knowledge, and humor. They never make me feel any shame or judgement when we've talked about a strategy and it doesn't work or I haven't done it. Dylan truly accepts you as you are and where you're at and cares about supporting you so you can do the things you want. They also never forget to celebrate the wins!

One of the worst parts of ADHD is feeling like you can't do something not because of your desire or intellect, but because of navigating a system. I was really starting to think that I wouldn't be able to get a graduate degree. I not only believe that it is possible, but Dylan has helped me actually get to enjoy the more positive aspects of it too.
