A mindful approach and effective strategies for managing your executive functions and for working with your neurodiversity.
The Approach
Lara works remotely with individuals who have a wide range of diagnoses, including but not limited to, ADHD, ASD, OCD, BPD, anxiety, and depression.
Lara works with students and adults to build a foundation of understanding and awareness. She then helps to create individualized solutions for the executive function challenges students and clients are facing.
Working with Lara is more than learning strategies to manage time and tasks. It's relearning to value one's self and discovering techniques to navigate society in a way that works with every unique brain, instead of against it.

Life
Coaching
When you are feeling stuck in limiting thoughts, executive function life coaching is to help you see your value. The intention is for you to be reminded of your strengths and to help you reach your goals.
We meet individually once a week to create plans, discuss barriers, learn new ways to work with your strengths and create a habit of accountability.
Home Organization
Managing the ever-multiplying tasks at home is difficult, especially when your executive functions are wreaking havoc!
We meet individually to assess your priorities and discuss barriers to create a realistic plan and navigate overcoming unexpected circumstances.
The intention is to make your home functional, and it is to help you see how perfect imperfection can be.
Family
Harmony
It can be eye-opening when you or someone in your family gets diagnosed as neurodiverse (like ADHD or ASD) or with other mental disorders like OCD or anxiety, but it's also just the start of the process.
Executive function family harmony is designed to help the whole family become more aware of the struggles and limitations of the newly diagnosed person. It's a way for the family to come together and learn more about the barriers this person faces and discover ways everyone can work together to achieve harmony.
