I help neurodivergent adults trade burnout and overwhelm for sustainable systems built for their brains

About Me

Hi, I’m Tess—an NBEFC Board Certified Executive Function Coach, Certified Autism Coach, and late-diagnosed AuDHDer.

For a long time, I was great at looking like I had it all together. But after years of high achievement, masking, and cycling through burnout, I hit a wall in young adulthood. Things that seemed easy for everyone else felt impossible, leaving me overwhelmed and deeply ashamed.

My diagnosis in my early 20s changed everything. It started a journey of unmasking, learning how my brain actually works, and letting go of neurotypical expectations. When I began sharing my experience online as @tessintheclouds, I realized how many others felt the exact same way.

That shared connection became my mission: helping neurodivergent adults—especially recovering perfectionists and people-pleasers—build lives that work with their brains instead of fighting against them. You don't need more discipline to thrive; you need systems built for what your brain actually needs.

As a journalist by trade, I bring deep curiosity and pattern-finding into every coaching relationship. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me stability training, journaling, or diving into new hyperfixations.

I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to get to know you.

FAQ

  • Executive function is your brain’s management system—the mental skills that help you initiate tasks, manage time, stay organized, hold information in mind, and regulate your energy. When executive function isn't supported, everyday tasks like starting a project, switching gears, or keeping up with routines can take immense effort, leading directly to overwhelm and burnout.

  • Coaching focuses on where you are right now and where you want to go. While therapy often explores past experiences and emotional processing, executive function coaching is present-focused and action-oriented. Together, we’ll set goals, untangle current obstacles, and build practical systems that make daily life feel easier.

  • Not at all. Whether you have a formal diagnosis, are self-diagnosed, or are simply questioning if your brain works differently, you are welcome here. If you’re struggling with executive dysfunction, perfectionism, or burnout, coaching can help—no formal paperwork required.

  • We start with a comprehensive intake in our first session to map out your needs. In ongoing sessions, we’ll identify your current bottlenecks, brainstorm brain-friendly solutions together, and test out new approaches. We focus on refining and streamlining your existing routines so your systems work for you.

  • Zero "homework" required. The goal of coaching is to make your life feel less like work, not add more to your to-do list. Any small tweaks or simple tracking we try will fit directly into your existing routines, helping us see what’s working in real time without adding extra stress

  • All coaching sessions are held virtually, allowing you to meet comfortably from your own space—no commute or extra energy required.

  • If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, tired of cycling through burnout, and ready to try a non-judgmental, compassionate approach tailored to your actual brain, you’re ready. The best way to find out is to book a free 15-minute discovery call so we can connect and see if we’re a good fit.
