You’re holding everything together on the outside—but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unable to focus, and you’re ready for real support and clarity. My ideal client feels overwhelmed by ADHD, depression, or anxiety. They struggle to stay focused or break free from cycles of worry and sadness affecting work, school, or relationships. What they want most is relief—less stress, more clarity, and the confidence to live with balance and peace of mind.
I offer evidence-based treatment, medication management, and flexible evening appointments to support your schedule. As someone diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I understand how frustrating it can feel to struggle without clear answers. With the right tools and support, meaningful change is possible.
Reaching out can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve been carrying things on your own. You deserve care that feels safe, supportive, and truly personal. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you find clarity, balance, and confidence moving forward.

Many adults struggle with focus, organization, or burnout without realizing ADHD may be contributing. You're welcome to bring prior testing results, such as TOVA or Conners. I offer structured ADHD evaluations using clinical interviews and objective testing, including QBCheck, an FDA-cleared assessment that provides measurable data to support diagnosis and guide personalized treatment planning.
