Welcome!

Hey there!

I’m Jessica, the Founder of Brave Connections Coaching and Advocacy.

It’s great to have you here!

A little bit about me…

  • I am a passionate advocate for neurodivergent thinkers and a firm believer in embracing one’s unique traits. As an ADHDer myself, I understand the intricacies and importance of navigating life’s twists and turns with creativity and resilience. Clients often tell me that I’m part of the “Tribe,” and I wear that badge proudly!

    Driven by my passion to connect, understand and support others, I foster a welcoming environment where clients can explore their inherent strengths or Superpowers! Helping lay the groundwork for enduring the transformation.

  • For 17 years, I've dedicated my time to being a school Psychologist. When the pandemic shifted education online, I began working directly with high schoolers struggling with virtual learning. This experience ignited my passion for Executive Functioning Coaching.

    In 2021, I founded Brave Connections LLC, initially focusing on ADHD Coaching. As my practice grew, I began hearing more and more from adults looking for support with late diagnosed ADHD, Autism, or both. I expanded beyond executive functioning skills to address social and emotional needs, organizing group sessions for shared support.

    Seeking to enhance my expertise, I became a Certified Holistic Coach through Radiant Coaches Academy in 2023 and earned the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) accreditation from the International Coaching Federation.

    Combining my backgrounds, I offer tailored Coaching and Educational Consultation services to individuals and groups, emphasizing personalized support for each client's journey.

  • In my personal life, I prioritize my roles as a devoted mother and wife. When I’m not cheering on my teenage daughters at their soccer, basketball, and lacrosse games, I’m being schooled on the latest Taylor Swift album or beauty routine I need to embrace!

    I enjoy spending time outdoors with family and friends. As a family, we love exploring local hiking trails and streams with our two dogs or tending to our large vegetable garden.

    An avid supporter of self-care, my mornings are for me. I love all things Peloton, a steaming hot cup of coffee while reading a book or listening to one of my favorite podcasts.

“Jessica creates a positive space for inner reflection. She asked questions that helped me to see my situation from a different perspective and explore impactful ways to shift my mindset. I'm feeling encouraged and empowered to tackle the week ahead!”
