Christian ADHD Coaching for a Focused & Faithful Life.

Christians with ADHD should not have to live in confusion or shame about the way God uniquely designed them. They need a cohesive, biblically grounded way to understand their ADHD, interpret their challenges, and faithfully live the lives God has entrusted to them.

Since 2018, Lionheart Christian ADHD Coaching has been dedicated to this purpose.

I help Christian women and college students replace the unique confusion ADHD can cause them, with grace-filled clarity, so they can understand their God-given design, strengthen their executive functioning, faithfully steward their lives, and increasingly flourish in Christ.

My work brings together biblical truth, evidence-informed ADHD knowledge, individualized assessments, executive functioning education, and practical coaching strategies. Many of my clients know what they need to do and they genuinely want to do it. The struggle comes when they must organize, initiate, prioritize, regulate, remember, transition, or follow through. The goal is bigger than getting more done. I help clients align their daily lives with their faith, values, responsibilities, and calling.

Since founding Lionheart in 2018, I have provided more than 750 hours of professional coaching. I am a dual-certified Christian Life Coach and ADHD Coach. I earned my Christian Life Coach certification through the American Association of Christian Counselors and completed ADD Coach Academy’s rigorous Basic ADHD Coach Certification program.

Lionheart does not begin with a generic list of tips. We begin by understanding the person. Through individualized assessments and the Lionheart Design + Function Profile™, clients gain a clearer picture of their strengths, executive functioning challenges, processing preferences, patterns, and support needs. Coaching strategies and systems are then built around that understanding.

My approach is direct, compassionate, practical, and strength-based. ADHD is an explanation, not an excuse.

Faith is central to my work, but it is never used to dismiss neurological challenges or oversimplify complicated struggles. Clients learn to consider their ADHD, environment, habits, responsibilities, spiritual lives, and personal choices with honesty and biblical wisdom.

What I offer:

• One-on-one Christ-centered ADHD and executive function coaching • Individualized assessments • Lionheart Design + Function Profiles™ • Coaching for Christian women and college students • Structured programs, classes, and workshops • Christ-centered strategies for everyday life

Let’s build a focused and faithful life.™

She knows her stuff and if you’re willing to put in the work, Dawn's coaching program will transform your life.” - Kayla H.


Do you know your purpose but feel stuck under shame, distraction, or overwhelm?  At Lionheart, I don't offer quick fixes. Instead, I partner with you: through faith, science, and strategy, to build systems that let your unique wiring and God-given design shine.
