Jaime V. Fishman, M.S., ACC (she/her/hers)

Jaime is the owner and founder of Carnelian Coaching, LLC. 

After teaching neurodivergent students for over 25 years and completing an M.S. degree in Special Education, Jaime trained to become a certified life coach.

She brings deep experience in creating 

safe, supportive, inclusive, and neurodivergent‑affirming environments 

where clients can build self‑awareness and make lasting, meaningful change.

Jaime is passionate in her belief that every brain is beautifully and inherently neurodiverse. No two people think, learn, or experience the world in the same way—and that individuality deserves to be honored, not categorized. Labels only serve to medicalize human differences, reducing people to diagnoses instead of recognizing their full humanity. 

Her work is rooted in the conviction that

 every mind is unique, powerful, and deserving of understanding on its own terms.

She is committed to helping clients create a life that aligns with their way of thinking, supports their natural rhythms, and reflects their own definition of success. 

Jaime works closely with each person, encouraging them to trust their own mind, 

release the pressure to conform, 

and build a life where they can genuinely thrive.

• Associate Certified Coach (ACC) by the International Coaching Federation (ICF)
• Masters of Science (M.S.) degree in Special Education, University of North Dakota   
• Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) licensed Special Education teacher
• Bachelors of Arts (B.A.) degree with Distinction in Special Education, Goucher College 

Jaime was diagnosed with ADHD in her mid-forties. 

Living with ADHD has made her more empathetic to clients' daily challenges. She uses her personal and professional experience to connect with clients and offer a balanced coaching approach.

Outside of work, Jaime enjoys spending time with her family and spoiling her rescue dog, Murphy. She enjoys reading, tending to her plants, and trying new recipes.
