Testimonials

  • When I reached out to Roberta, Internalized PDA, Executive Dysfunction, and Perfectionism had robbed me of my hobbies. My brain said "no!" to all the things that were fun, that brought me joy. I have been to dozens of psychologists, social workers, and counsellors over the last decade and a half. While this has given me tremendous self awareness, it never made any impact on my ability to actually DO my hobbies. Roberta has been able to use the insights I've gained from therapy to help me develop Real, Actionable strategies that allow me to work around the trauma and life stressors. I am actually DOING the things I want to do!! I've only been working with Roberta for a month and a half, and the changes have been huge. Not only have I been regaining my ability to engage with and enjoy my hobbies, but the strategies she's helped me figure out are able to be applied to other aspects of my life, too. The biggest change, however, is the amount of Hope I have. I truly believe that, by continuing my work with Roberta, my life will become so, so much happier. I feel like Roberta really understands what I'm going through, on a medical AND personal level. Everyone deserves to feel Seen, and to receive Insights and Strategies that they can actually use to change their life for the better... and Roberta is someone who can truly provide that.

  • Roberta is not just a coach, she is a life transformer. She makes me feel safe and comfortable even while asking me powerful and thought provoking questions. She really understands people and has a knack for getting right to the heart of the matter straight away. Roberta's appreciation of the human experience is apparent in every conversation. I highly recommend Roberta.

  • I found coaching with Roberta incredibly beneficial. After each coaching session, my chaotic thoughts have become structured, and I was able to see the bigger picture. Roberta is a wonderful thinking partner and helped me realize how I can build my business in a way that really suits my interests and my ADHD brain.

  • When I approached Roberta, I had just started a new job after leaving academia. I was burned out and stressed about managing both symptoms of burnout and ADHD all while starting a new job with very little time off/break between jobs. I had counseling in the past, and career coaching, but never with a focus on managing my ADHD and a coach with specialization in this area. I have worked with and supported neurodivergent children and their families for years. Working with Roberta, I was amazed to find that many of the supports and strategies I have taught for years can be applied in my HOME and in my work life. Since starting working with Roberta, I have given myself permission to utilize lots of strategies, and to try things I have never tried and may have never even thought to try for my own self until now. Roberta also helped me realize that I had been SO hard on myself in my old life, internally (and often subconsciously) beating myself up for not being or doing enough...when the job(s) had impossible expectations! Thanks to Roberta’s encouragement to think back at my “wins”, celebrate them, and dust them off (from the dust that perhaps others had kicked on), I started a journaling practice where I discovered SO much about all the "wins" over the past decade and more! I would recommend this coaching service to any friend...especially those with ADHD. Roberta has been able to quickly establish rapport with me, and has been able to encourage me to come up with solutions to my challenges on my own, but with expert guidance that I so desperately needed!

  • I started working with Roberta, at a time when I was staying with my parents while taking a semester off from university, due to recurring severe depressive episodes, and a lack of understanding of my own mental health, which interfered with my personal wellbeing and academic performance. I tried psychological counselling before, which provided temporary relief, but the impact was short-lived. Through my work with Roberta, I started acquiring (and I am constantly expanding) an understanding of why my brain/internal dialogue defaults to certain thought patterns and behaviors. This has allowed me to develop a healthier relationship with tending to my needs and personal fulfillment in life, allowing myself what I deserve, and accepting help when in need. Roberta’s compassionate and non-judgmental approach and practical understanding of ADHD has helped massively in validating many of my struggles thus far in life, and making me not feel like a failure for struggling with them for so long. I would recommend working with Roberta with absolutely zero hesitation.
