ADHD is not a disorder of knowing what to do. It's a disorder of doing what you know.


Russell Barkley, PhD.

Are you navigating the complexities of ADHD, whether in your personal life, relationships, or work? I offer a unique, empathetic perspective because I not only specialize in ADHD, but I live with it myself. As someone who has experienced firsthand how ADHD affects every aspect of life, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to help you thrive.


What I Offer:

  • Expertise with Compassion: I offer practical, evidence-based strategies tailored to your individual needs while understanding the emotional challenges ADHD brings. Together, we’ll identify ways to work with your brain, not against it.
     
  • Life with ADHD: I know what it’s like to juggle impulsivity, focus issues, and emotional regulation. From relationships to work pressures, I’m here to guide you through the challenges ADHD brings to every area of your life.
     
  • Relationship Support: ADHD can have a profound impact on relationships. Whether it’s communication struggles, forgetfulness, or difficulty managing responsibilities, I’ll work with you to build healthier, more balanced relationships.
     
  • Goal-Oriented Strategies: We’ll explore how to turn your unique ADHD traits into strengths—learning ways to focus on what matters, manage time effectively, and prioritize tasks without feeling overwhelmed.
     

Why Choose Me?

  • Lived Experience: As someone who lives with ADHD, I understand the real-life challenges you face. It’s not just theory for me; it’s personal.
     
  • Tailored Approach: We’ll explore how ADHD affects you personally—no cookie-cutter solutions here. I’ll work with you to develop a strategy that honors your unique brain and lifestyle.
     
  • Empathy and Understanding: I know how frustrating it can be to feel misunderstood. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, judgment-free space where you’re seen, heard, and supported.
     

Together, we’ll break through the obstacles ADHD presents and create a roadmap for a fulfilling life. Whether you're navigating school, work, relationships, or personal growth, I’m here to help you build the skills and confidence to live your life to the fullest.

ADHD Management for All Ages

Adults

Learn ways to reduce ADHD's negative impact on your work, home, and social life through better symptom management. We strategize how to target your unique challenges and go beyond just learning techniques to learning their practical application in your individual circumstances.

Teens

Teens want to be independent, and we want that for them too! We help teens and their parents/caregivers navigate the transition of responsibility from parent to child, and work with teens to help them learn how to manage their ADHD symptoms independently. Our goal is to help teens create habits and strategies that will set them up for success and be carried with them into the future!

School-Aged Children

When it comes to school-aged children, ADHD is a family affair! These therapy sessions are for the child and at least one parent or caregiver. We work together to identify challenging areas, strategize solutions, and outline each person's role and responsibilities in those solutions. We also navigate the important gradual transition of responsibilities from parents and caregivers to the child.
