Meet Marita

As a passionate and dedicated educator with nearly 20 years of experience working with learners of all ages from preschool to adults, I come to ADHD/executive function coaching and education with authenticity and expertise to help kids, teachers, families, and adults become YES-focused.

This YES-focused practice centers you and your strengths with empathy for your challenges to create a plan for continued support without shame, apology, or excuse.

Here’s what I’ve been doing to prepare myself for this work:

  • Educator, M. Ed, Curriculum and Instruction, Creative Arts in Learning,  Lesley University

  • ADHD CE,  Certified Educator, Evergreen Certification

  • ADHD/Executive Function Coach, Professional ADHD Parent Coach Academy

  • Certified Life Coaching Practitioner,  SIM Accredited

  • Teacher & Anti-Bias Education Coordinator, Lakewood Cooperative Preschool

  • Professional Development Facilitator, North Seattle College & American Federation of Teachers Washington

  • Organizer of Gutsy Women with ADHD, 900+ member Meetup group

Oh … and I have ADHD, too!

“Marita. My teaching team had planning right after your training and we all agreed it was one of the best trainings we've ever had. You brought SO MUCH compassion, grace, kindness, generosity, and SKILL to that hour and a half. I was blown away. You are amazing and I am really grateful. Thank you.”

Madeline (Coaching Client)

“Marita is like that one teacher you had as a kid who made you feel seen, that you still think about whenever you need to feel safe and loved. And she can teach you to be that for yourself and your kids.”
