Who this is for
Who Gregory Works With
Coaching is for bright, capable people who need systems that fit how they think: children, teens, adults, and families navigating ADHD, autism, learning differences, anxiety, school avoidance, motivation, social struggles, and life transitions.
For Children
Early support for confidence, communication, routines, friendships, and emotional regulation before struggles get bigger.
Children’s coachingFor parents
You are tired of being the alarm clock, project manager, and backup brain. Coaching gives your child another trusted mentor.
Parent & family coachingFor teens & students
You are not lazy or broken. We build systems for school, routines, communication, and follow-through.
Academic coachingFor adults
Work, money, relationships, home, and attention can be a lot. Coaching turns overwhelm into next steps.
Independence coachingCoaching services

Social Skills & Relationship Coaching
Conversation, friendship, dating, family communication, and workplace interaction practiced honestly and respectfully.
Independence & Life Skills Coaching
Routines, money, work, home responsibilities, self-advocacy, and daily-life structure for clients building a life of their own.
Parent & Family Coaching
Practical guidance for parents to reduce conflict, strengthen cooperation, and support their child without carrying everything alone.

Why coaching
This is not tutoring with a new label.
Tutoring helps with content. Coaching builds the operating system around the content: time, tasks, confidence, communication, and recovery when things slip.
Skills, not answers
Every system is built to be run by the client: planning, prioritizing, communicating, and recovering when things slip.
Strengths-based, not deficit-based
We start from what already works: interests, energy patterns, and the client’s actual way of thinking.
Real life, not worksheets
Coaching uses real materials: the backpack, calendar, job application, or conversation that needs practice.

Good questions
What parents and clients usually ask first
What is executive function coaching?
It is hands-on support for planning, starting, organizing, managing time, and following through. We build real systems together, then adjust them until they fit real life.
Is coaching therapy?
No. Coaching is educational mentoring and skill-building. It can complement clinical care, but it does not replace therapy, medical care, or mental-health support.
Do you work remotely or in person?
Most coaching is remote through Google Meet. Limited in-person coaching may be available in Marin, Sonoma County, and nearby areas when it fits the client and schedule.
Start with a conversation.
A free 20–30 minute call. No pressure. Just a clear conversation about what is going on and where to start.
