Since founding my practice in 2007, I have worked as an ADHD Academic and Career Coach and Executive Function Specialist dedicated to helping students and adults develop practical skills and strategies that align with their unique strengths and challenges. My approach is grounded in the neurobiology of ADHD and the science of behavior change. I work with high school, college, graduate, and medical students, as well as adults navigating career, workplace, and relationship challenges. I specialize in supporting individuals with coexisting conditions such as anxiety, OCD, depression, and learning differences. Through compassionate, evidence-based coaching, I help clients bridge the gap between intention and action to achieve greater balance, confidence, and skill development.

“If you have a child with ADD/HD, then you have to advocate for him/her throughout their life. This responsibility does not end when the child is done with secondary school and the legalities and accommodations that are in place during elementary, middle, and high school public education are not mandatory in the higher education setting. Despite having parent’s that were successful in school and in their chosen occupations, we were unable to meet his need for academic success. If we did not have the services of an organized academic coach who was able to relate to our son as a mentor and guide and help him fill in the gaps of weaknesses that he has in organizational skills and written expression he would not have been able to be successful at the competitive university that he wanted to attend. Jane Milrod was able to steer him through the rigorous requirements of this competitive and challenging environment and did this without doing the work for him, but guided him through the process of planning and executing above average college level work in ways that his own parents could not assist with. She was able to help him understand how to interpret assignments correctly, plan and write numerous papers with multiple assignments due within close time periods, and affectively complete college level work in the competitive setting that he wanted to be part of.
Without ADHD Coach Jane he would not have been able to be as successful and may have had to re-take courses over again and graduate much later. He could have possibly become disillusioned with academia and become a statistic in the college dropout arena. Jane was available for him and showed him how to tackle his challenging workload without doing the work for him. We are so grateful to be able to see our son feel the pleasure of success by working hard for what he wanted by doing the work himself under the guidance of a mentor who understands the nuts and bolts of how the ADD brain works and how to maximize his strengths and minimize his weaknesses. We are extremely appreciative of how she was able to reach and guide him.
We look forward to seeing him succeed further in his endeavors and observe his enhanced self-esteem and positive outlook. We are extremely fortunate to have found someone who could provide the tools our son needed.”

As an ADHD Academic/Career Coach and Executive Function Specialist, I have been helping clients learn practical skills and strategies tailored to their unique aptitudes and personal strengths since 2007. My approach is grounded in the neurobiology of ADHD and informed by the science of behavior change.
My practice serves students and adults at every stage of life, with a particular focus on intellectually capable individuals who struggle with ADHD and executive function challenges. I work with high school students, college undergraduates, and graduate students (M.A. and Ph.D.), as well as medical students and adults navigating career, workplace, job search, and relationship difficulties. I specialize in supporting individuals with coexisting conditions of learning differences, procrastination, anxiety, OCD, depression, ASD, and Tourette Syndrome. I assist students, parents, and adults with educational and workplace disability advocacy.
In my ADHD Academic Coaching practice, I help college undergraduate and graduate students strengthen executive function skills and restore academic confidence through consistent structure, accountability, and guided oversight. Together, we establish reliable study systems, effective calendar use, and realistic scheduling habits that transform intention into action. Regular coaching sessions—supported by interim check-ins via text or email—create continuity and external scaffolding to offset time blindness and limited working memory. Students learn to initiate and sustain academic work, manage deadlines, and build self-awareness through reflective tools such as individualized “Operating Instructions.” By combining compassion with structure, I help clients develop stronger follow-through, and build the confidence and independence needed to succeed in demanding academic and professional environments.
If you’re reading this and worry that change isn’t possible, please know that I can help you bridge the gap between your intentions and your actions using proven ADHD coaching interventions. I’m a skilled listener and integrator of client experiences, helping you to live in better alignment with your core values and develop habits of behavior to enable you to achieve your goals.
