Up at 1:00 AM with a racing mind, wondering why your brain only hits peak focus when the world is sleeping? As a provider living with combined ADHD myself, I know the exhausting tug-of-war between hyperfocus, burnout, and the anxiety of feeling perpetually behind. Living as a night owl with ADHD can feel incredibly isolating, especially when trying to force your brain into a standard 9-to-5 mold. If executive dysfunction has left you completely drained, you are not alone.
Welcome to Sophisticated Joy. I don't do cookie-cutter psychiatry. My practice uses a culturally sensitive, intersectional framework to honor your lived experience. With a Master's in Nursing Education, I ensure you understand your neurobiology as we treat ADHD, anxiety, and sleep holistically, combining executive tools with medication.
Come as you are. No need to dress up or pretend you have it together to sit with me. I offer secure, private-pay virtual visits tailored to busy schedules and non-traditional hours, providing superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Let's quiet the noise so your brain can finally thrive. Reach out today for a free 15-minute consultation.
