I'VE BEEN THERE . . .
You’re living with a brain that’s wired differently — and it deserves strategies that match.
...the unfinished projects, the missed deadlines, the messy kitchen that somehow always wins.
You might find yourself thinking: “Why can’t I just get it together?”
The truth?
It’s not about trying harder. It’s about working smarter — with tools and systems designed for your brain.
It's hard to understand your ADHD without understanding Executive Functions—
Why?
This will help you create systems that play to your strengths and enable you to address the areas you find most challenging.
Instead of feeling like “everything is hard,” you can pinpoint two or three executive functions that consistently trip you up. That clarity makes the challenges more manageable.
The executive functions — think of them as the management system of the brain. They live in the prefrontal cortex, which is the front part of your brain just behind your forehead.
Executive Functions include:
Emotional Regulation
Impulsivity
Task Initiation
Time Management
Focus
Planning
Organization

HI THERE ...
Welcome to Kortex ADHD Coaching!
I appreciate you being here!
I work with women, entrepreneurs, parents, and students who are navigating the real-life ups and downs of ADHD — helping them trade overwhelm and burnout for emotional regulation.
My approach isn’t about “try harder” advice. It’s about blending neuroscience-informed coaching, mindfulness, and practical strategies that actually work in the messy, everyday moments of life.
I am an ICF-accredited Coach, trained in both Executive Function and ADHD Coaching, with 5 years of experience supporting more than 100 ADHD clients, and always up to date on the latest research.
I have witnessed my clients transform — at home, in school, and in their careers — by building systems that grow with them and learning how their brain works.
What Clients are saying
P.S. THANK YOU.
"Having Kristen in my corner has been a game-changer for my academic life. I thought I was dumb or a bad student but I knew I was smart and was so fusterated. Enter Kristen. Now Im about to graduate with my masters and never thought I would even finish my undergrad."
"I once thought my inability to 'just get things done' was a personal failure. I didn’t realize how much ADHD was hijacking my focus and emotions. Working with my coach gave me language for what I was experiencing—and tools that actually work. For the first time, I feel seen, understood, and equipped."
"Kristen's coaching has been life-changing. I used to spiral between overwhelm and avoidance, never knowing where to start. Now I have systems grounded in neuroscience, not hustle culture. My coach helped me build structure, regulate my emotions, and finally follow through. I’m hitting goals I’ve put off for years. It’s not about working harder—it’s about working smarter, with the right support."

Why ADHD Coaching Works -
ADHD coaching works because it bridges the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.
If you live with ADHD, you probably already know what “should” help—plan ahead, stay consistent, manage your time, keep calm—but that doesn’t mean your brain can make those steps happen. That’s not a lack of willpower; it’s executive function at play.
ADHD coaching focuses on how your brain actually works—your energy patterns, your motivation cycles, your emotional regulation—and builds systems around that reality, not against it. Together, we figure out what’s getting in the way and create tools that actually stick in your real life.
Unlike therapy, which explores the why, ADHD coaching focuses on the how. How do you get from overwhelmed to organized? How do you break a project down when your brain can’t find the starting point? How do you rest without guilt?
Because once you understand your patterns, everything changes.
You stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and start asking, “What does my brain need right now?”
That shift—from shame to strategy—is where the magic happens.

WHY KORTEX?
Over 100 ADHD brains coached.
The name Kortex is inspired by the prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for planning, focus, emotional regulation, and decision-making. For those with ADHD, this region often functions differently, not due to a lack of intelligence or willpower, but because of how the ADHD brain is wired.
I believe that education is empowerment. When clients understand the why behind their behaviors—dopamine regulation, executive function, and interest-based nervous systems—they’re no longer fighting themselves. They're working with their brain.
It’s about teaching you how your brain actually works—so you can lead, live, and create with clarity.
My coaching is rooted in neuroscience-backed strategies that improve executive functioning by up to 73%. From emotional regulation tools to habit design, we use evidence-based methods to help you turn insight into action.
