Hello, I'm Alex klein!

I’m passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals as they navigate the challenges of real life, including parenting, work, relationships, school, household responsibilities, sensory overload, and major life transitions.

 

My approach is shaped by both my professional experience as a pediatric speech-language pathologist and my own life as a neurodivergent adult, parent of two young children, and partner to a neurodivergent spouse. I understand firsthand how executive functioning, sensory needs, communication differences, and changing capacity can affect everyday life while you’re also trying to keep everything moving.

​

What kind of clients do you work with?

I especially enjoy working with neurodivergent adults and parents who feel overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life, particularly those navigating executive functioning challenges, sensory overload, parenting, relationships, or a new understanding of their own neurodivergence.

​

Neurodivergent parenting is especially close to my heart. Parenting requires an enormous amount of planning, remembering, transitioning, regulating, decision-making, and tolerating sensory input, often while supporting a child whose needs may interact with your own. As a pediatric SLP, I spend my days supporting children and collaborating with their families. Coaching gives me an opportunity to turn the focus toward a question that can easily get lost: Who is supporting the parent?

​

I’m also particularly interested in neurodivergent relationships and marriage, especially when two differently wired brains are trying to manage one life together. I enjoy supporting people who are newly understanding their own neurodivergence, including parents who unexpectedly begin recognizing themselves while learning about their child.

​​

What is your coaching style like?

 

My coaching approach is neurodivergent-affirming, supportive, and practical. I’m a deep-diver and want the real, messy version of your life, not the polished explanation you think you’re supposed to give a coach.

​

I love the conversations that make us stop and think, “Wait...I’ve never looked at it that way before.” I want to follow the threads, ask thoughtful questions, notice patterns, and connect things that didn’t seem connected before.

​

But insight alone isn’t enough for me. Once we uncover what’s happening, I want to help you do something with it. We might research your options, organize information, draft an email, break down an overwhelming task, practice a conversation, body double while you get started, or figure out exactly where your brain keeps hitting a wall.

​

I believe the goal isn’t to change who you are or force yourself to fit into systems that don’t work for you. It’s about understanding yourself and finding approaches that work with your brain and your actual life.

​

What is your goal working as a neurodivergent-affirming life coach?

My goal is to help you feel deeply understood and less alone when it’s time to figure out what comes next. I want to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and find practical strategies that make your life feel more manageable and meaningful.
