I am diagnosed as high-functioning autistic, with ADHD, BPD, OCD, and C-PTSD. I was in therapy since high school, utilizing free sessions during undergrad and grad school but mostly having to pay thousands out of pocket for little progress. I went through many modes of therapy (CBT, DBT, EMDR, ERP), before I met my life coach, Cherie. She went beyond clinical diagnoses and treating just the past and symptoms. She had me reflect on my lived experiences, determine my values, set goals and deadlines, and held me accountable with homework, tasks, and check-ins.

Cherie helped me realize how I was self-sabotaging in many ways and held me accountable, by teaching me how to be responsible for my own actions and behaviors. I learned how to have healthier habits and actually changed my life to establish personal and professional stability. Doing so allowed me to heal and recover in a more noticeable and sustainable way. I was even able to finally secure a full-time job and improve my overall lifestyle related to burnout, executive function, and identity.
