Stop struggling with workplace brain fog, burnout, and daily system collapse. Get tailored support designed for late-diagnosed ADHD and neurodivergent minds.

Sound Familiar?

  • Tasks that used to take 10 minutes now feel like pushing a boulder uphill.
  • Your brain freezes in meetings, or you constantly struggle to find basic words.
  • Your usual strategies, planners, or medications don’t seem to touch the fog.
  • You’re exhausted from pretending you still have it all together at work.

A different way forward

When your brain is already running on fumes, you don’t need a stricter routine, more willpower, or another planner you’ll abandon in a week. You need systems built for your real brain and changing body

  • Practical Guardrails: Science-backed tools to help prevent total burnout.
  • Biological Pacing: Tactics designed around your biological and life realities.
  • Lightweight Systems: Daily scaffolds that protect your focus, energy, and career reputation

Hi! I’m Dr. Shans!

I’m a Certified Stress Coach, former executive, Professor of Psychology of Gender with 20+ years of experience integrating behavioral science and cognitive psychology.

And I’ve lived this reality.

Having navigated chronic pain, medical menopause 3 times in my 30s without a roadmap, and a late-diagnosis of ADHD as an adult, I’m the poster-child for being a recovering Type A+ Overachieving Perfectionist.

I now help professional women, queer, trans, and non-binary professionals redesign their days around their actual energy and capacity so they can finally get back on their priority list

Let’s talk about what’s actually on your plate.

Bring your real-world bottlenecks, your questions, or the graveyard of half-used planners in your closet. In 20 minutes, we’ll look at where your energy is leaking and pinpoint your best next move.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. We focus on your lived experience, daily capacity, and practical friction points—not formal clinical labels.

No. This is goal-oriented, practical capacity and systems coaching built on behavioral science. It complements, but does not replace, therapy or medical care.

We map out your biggest energy leak and see if my approach to coaching is the right fit for where you are and what you’re trying to accomplish right now. If not, I search through my resources and network to see where I can help make the connection for you.

No. And here’s why:

+ Insurance: My work is non-clinical executive capacity and behavioral strategy coaching. I am not a licensed clinical healthcare practitioner (such as an LPC, LCSW, or Psychologist) and do not bill health insurance. Operating as a direct-pay practice keeps your privacy 100% protected—without insurance companies requiring clinical diagnoses, medical labels, or session limits.

+ Employers: I do not contract or bill employers directly. Bringing a corporate HR department into our agreement creates an unnecessary middleman. My sole loyalty and confidentiality belong strictly to you—not your company’s internal agenda.

How Payment & Reimbursement Work:

I accept all major credit cards, so if you have access to a corporate expense card, professional development budget, or wellness stipend, you are welcome to use it. If you wish to seek employer reimbursement on your own terms, I am happy to provide a structured proposal and itemized receipt for you to submit.
