I Saw Myself in the Research Before I Found the Diagnosis
I finally realized I had ADHD in the middle of presenting an assigned article on it to a graduate psychopathology class. A few minutes in, it became clear I was describing my entire life. (I'd find a journal entry later, written at fourteen, where I'd already joked that I probably had it. So, not exactly breaking news to fourteen-year-old me.) The formal diagnosis came at twenty-seven, and it landed the way it lands for a lot of people: relief first, then a grief that crept in for all the years I spent thinking I was just bad at the things everyone else seemed to manage.
What changed wasn't that I started trying harder. It was that I finally understood what my brain was doing and why, and I started giving it what it actually needed instead of what I thought I was supposed to need. That's the work I do now. I'm a psychology-trained coach who specializes in late-diagnosed adults, ADHD and autistic folks, and the science-curious people who want to understand the mechanism before they trust the strategy. We figure out how your specific brain works, then build the structure and accommodations that fit the life you actually have.
Your brain isn't the problem to solve. It's the thing we learn to work with and it's a lot more cooperative once you know what it's asking for.
Who Meredith Works Best With
I work best with people who want to understand the why before the what — who'd rather know how their brain works than be handed a system on faith.
That often looks like:
-
Late-diagnosed adults still sorting through what the diagnosis means — the relief, the grief, and the "what now."
-
Science-curious minds who want to be taught the mechanism, not just told what to do
-
ADHD and autistic folks (including AuDHD) building a life that fits how they're actually wired.
-
Graduate students, early- and mid-career professionals figuring out how to do demanding work without running themselves into the ground.
If you've spent years being resourceful — every planner, every app, every system — and still feel like something underneath isn't being addressed, that's the thing we go after.
The Science To Know What Works & the Training To Help You Do It
I came to this through psychology first. A master's in applied psychology, research labs, and ABA work all trained me to look at behavior and ask why before I ask what to do about it. But I'd actually met ADHD coaching earlier, as a college intern, and watching what it did — the tools, the way it rebuilt how people saw themselves — was what pulled me in. Knowing the science behind a brain and being able to help someone live with that brain are two different skills. So I trained in both: the research that tells me what's actually happening, and the coaching that turns it into something you can use. No two ADHD brains are the same. Living with one can feel like herding cats, and it gets a whole lot easier once you know which cats your brain came with, and which ones we actually need to herd.
