A little bit about me
My name is Tiara Brumberg, and I am an ADHD and Executive Functioning Coach! I work with kids (ages 10+), parents and adults who find themselves frustrated and overwhelmed due to challenges with ADHD and Executive Functioning.
I currently live in Birmingham, Alabama - a fact that I never would have believed as a kid growing up in Vista, California, but I LOVE it here! In November 2008 I met my husband at a bible study a week after we both moved to south Florida, and we got married seven months later! We eventually moved to Birmingham with two small kids in tow at the time so that I could become a pediatric Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. I finished my program, and we had our third child and then somehow ended up with four dogs! It was during my time working as a COTA that I became very interested in understanding ADHD and how it keeps kids (and adults) from being able to fulfill their potential.
I turned that curiosity into lots and lots and LOTS of education as an ADHD-Rehab Services Provider, as well as training in Executive Functioning and finally with a course from JST Training in ADHD and Executive Functioning coaching, which led to becoming an ACC-level coach accredited by the International Coaching Federation.
During the process of learning more about ADHD, I discovered my own masking strategies that I have used throughout my life to compensate for challenges with school, relationships and work. Sometimes I did this effectively, sometimes, not so much! We also discovered that a lot of the tension and behavioral challenges we were seeing at home were also, in large part, due to undiagnosed ADHD in our kids. Our youngest child has had the benefit of growing up in a house where we now better understand how to cultivate executive functioning and regulation skills in childhood, and we have course-corrected to help our older children be more successful. This has been a process, but it is one that I wouldn't change for anything. It is never too late to change the systems in your house to better meet everyone's needs, including your own!
I am passionate about taking the tools, strategies and systems I have learned and partnering with people to help them be the best version of themselves. I have seen the way this can improve relationships in families and build kids who believe in themselves and their capabilities. I know people with ADHD are smart, creative and able to do whatever they set their minds to once they have a solid plan and a clear goal in mind. I can't wait to meet you!
