If you’re living with ADHD or feeling overwhelmed by constant mental noise, emotional intensity, or relationship strain, you don’t have to keep managing it alone. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence especially when it shows up as anxiety, mood swings, impulsivity, disconnection, or conflict in relationships. I specialize in identifying and treating ADHD across the lifespan, including when it co-occurs with anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality traits, and trauma.
Whether you’ve been formally diagnosed or are questioning if ADHD is part of your experience, I help you understand your patterns with clarity and without judgment.
Together, we explore how your brain works, how your environment has shaped you, and how your relationships are impacted.
For couples, this often means reducing blame, improving communication, and rebuilding connection.You’ll gain practical tools to improve focus, emotional regulation, and follow-through while building a more compassionate understanding of yourself or your partner.
