Coaching, Mentoring and Consulting

Hi, I’m Dave—founder of Dave G Coaching, a coach, mentor, parent, husband, and lifelong helper of people. I specialize in working with emerging adults—especially those who are neurodivergent or feeling stuck—and helping them develop essential life skills, build independence, improve relationships, and take meaningful steps toward their goals. I also work closely with families, educators, therapists, and other professionals to create strong, collaborative support systems.
Dave G Coaching was born out of a deep desire to help people find their way, build momentum, and reach their goals. Every individual is different, and every journey is personal. My work is grounded in empathy, patience, problem-solving, and structure—and I meet people exactly where they are.
Every journey with Dave G Coaching begins with one simple step: a real, honest conversation. Tell me where you, your team, or your loved ones are struggling most—and I’ll help you find a practical, customized solution. This human-centered program is built around you: flexible, adaptable, and designed to meet the unique circumstances of each individual, family, or group.

FAQ’s

  • DaveG Coaching is a personalized coaching, mentoring, and consulting service for young adults (18+)—both neurodivergent and neurotypical—who are struggling to find direction, build independence, or navigate life’s challenges. I also work with families to create support systems that truly work. If you have a child who is struggling and under 18, lets have a chat.

  • My human based coaching is fully customizable—rooted in empathy, experience, and actionable problem-solving. I meet individuals and families exactly where they are and help create realistic, step-by-step plans based on their unique needs, strengths, and goals.

  • Yes. Often, coaching is most effective when everybody involved is working towards a better outcome. I can support both the young adult and the family. I help improve communication and strategy while helping to build a shared path forward.

  • Getting started is simple. Just send me an email at Davegcoaching@gmail.com and we can set up an initial conversation to see if we’re a good fit. From there, we’ll create a plan that works for you and can get started quickly.

  • No, Dave G Coaching is not therapy. While I draw on therapeutic tools, communication strategies, and behavioral insights, my role is that of a coach and mentor. The focus of coaching is on practical support, skill-building, accountability, and forward momentum. I help clients set and achieve goals, develop independence, improve problem-solving, and navigate real-life situations as they unfold.

    That said, I often work alongside therapists as part of a collaborative support team. If a client is already in therapy or needs additional mental health services, I’m happy to coordinate care to ensure consistency and reinforce progress across all areas of their life.

  • Common goals include building independence, managing time, improving communication, career exploration, creating routines, transitioning out of the home, strengthening family relationships, and more.

  • Dave G Coaching meets clients where they are—literally. Sessions can take place in the home, out in the community, in schools, at businesses, or anywhere real-life learning opportunities arise. I also offer virtual and phone sessions for added flexibility and accessibility.
